I’ll be in the Windy City one week from today at C2E2, doing my Usual Idiocy in Artist’s Alley. Stop by and grab one of my updated Doctor Who prints that includes 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker, a signed copy of MAD, a bunch of other crap, and caricatures and commissions! Or, just come by and say “Hi”! READ MORE
I got this as a mailbag question not so long ago: Tom, have you ever written about how you got into caricaturing? When you realized this was something you could do? I used to draw cartoon characters when I was about 5, but that’s about as far as I got…LOL. If you haven’t, or if you have, maybe you could repeat it. – David Lubin, Tampa FL I thought this to be a bit too long a story for a Sunday Mailbag, so I left it for a regular post. Feel free to bail out when you get bored… People sometimes ask what got me… READ MORE
After posting my humbling 1988 Three Stooges caricature the other day I am posting some I did 25 years later just to redeem myself a bit. READ MORE
This is an embarrassing blast from the past. A few days ago I received this email through my website: From: Brian Re: 3 stooges sketch I have a framed drawing of the 3 Stooges that looks like was done in pencil and ink. I have had it for 20+ years and never taken it out of the frame. Can see a signature in bottom corner of Richmond. Was hoping to get more information about it. Thank you, Brian I thought maybe it was an old theme park sample I had done, so I asked Brian to send me a picture of it. He sent me… READ MORE
I’ve had a couple of cancellations for my new “Caricature Illustration” workshop, and I’ve exhausted the waitlist so there in one spot now open! Here are some of the details: This is a NEW kind of workshop… Caricature Illustration!

This workshop will be focused on the process of creating a caricature-based illustration from concept/roughs all the way to color final art. Tom provides instruction on each phase, including: Concept, “narrative”, composition and rough sketches Final pencils and prep for inking Traditional inking with dip pen and brush… READ MORE
While going through one of my flat file drawers I ran across five pristine copies of my long-ago sold out Batman print “Bats in the Belfry”. A lot of people ask me about reprinting this, and I have to explain what “limited edition” means. This print is so rare that I didn’t even have a copy of it! Well, I’m keeping one of the five, but the other four I have put up in my Studio Store and will sell as signed “Artist Proofs”. Get one while they last! Update: These sold out within minutes. Sorry if you missed out. There’s a good chance I… READ MORE
This is a left over from my “Holiday Commission” run from last month. The gentleman who ordered this one very kindly let me put it off until January as it was not for a gift but for him. Thanks for that, Tom! READ MORE
I don’t do a lot of comic cons… really just a handful each year. They are exhausting but fun and the ones I do generate enough revenue for it to make sense to spend that time away from the studio. As much as I like meeting and talking with people and connecting with readers of my work, studio time is valuable and being away means less time to do the work that pays my bills. I make no secret of it…I’m trying to sell stuff at these cons. One thing I don’t charge for is my signature, although I have certain rules about that. There… READ MORE
