These sold out pretty quickly yesterday. Thanks to all those who jumped on board! Sorry to anyone who wanted one but didn’t get one of the 15 spots. I absolutely can’t do anymore than 15 as I have a book to do! READ MORE
I’ve done this now the last two years and it worked out pretty well (although I started offering them a little too close to the holidays last time, thus the earlier announcement), so I thought I’d give it another go this year. This year I’m again making 15 of these personal caricature commissions available just for the holidays. I’m doing them on 11″ x 14″ bristol, in brush and various pens, colored with Copic markers and a touch of colored pencil, plus maybe some painted highlights. I can do them of you, or of your friend, family member, neighbor, barber, plumber, or some celebrity/famous person (assuming your… READ MORE

When Des and I were putting together the CLAPTRAP campaign, we consulted a number of crowdfunding veterans for advice. We got a lot of great direction, and one of the things almost all we spoke to suggested was to have one really high end, ridiculously expensive “super perk”. It should be something crazy that probably wouldn’t get picked up, but that “high end” perk makes a fun bookend to the choices. So, Des and I came up with the “Megalomaniac” perk. This one allowed the backer to tell US what movie to spoof, with the only caveat being it was a major motion picture and… READ MORE
Sorry to hear of the passing of Sir Thomas Sean Connery at age 90 today. In my opinion hands down THE James Bond. That’s now four of the eight Bonds from my updated print above gone to the MI-6 headquarters in the sky. RIP, Mr. Connery. READ MORE

Earlier this month I released my “updated” James Bond caricature print “Shaken Not Stirred”. It was updated in that I added new caricatures of the two “unofficial” Bonds (meaning they were outside the “Broccoli” Bond film series) Barry Nelson (1954’s TV show “Climax!”) and David Niven (1967 spoof movie “Casino Royale), and I also did all new caricatures for both Sean Connery and George Lazenby, as I had grown to dislike the previous ones. The other four, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig were just slightly revised (removed the “wingtip” collars on their tuxes, which Bond aficionados assure me Bond would never… READ MORE
Since Des Devlin and my book project CLAPTRAP is successfully funded, the next thing we’re apparently supposed to do is set some “Stretch Goals”. These are higher funding goals that, if reached, means we add or do more stuff for the book. The great thing about stretch goals is that if you are already one of those special people who have contributed to the book, you will benefit from our reaching these goals without doing anything at all! Well, that’s not exactly true. What we need our backers to do is continue to share our campaign far and wide, so it gets in front of… READ MORE
