Yet another warmup celebrity sketch from my workshop this past weekend: Gordon Ramsey! A spot in one of my workshops makes a great Christmas gift to that special caricaturist in your life. Not many left right now though… only one in NYC, three in Dublin and quite a few left in Vienna. I’ll be adding a few more U.S. workshops in the last quarter of 2020 sometime after the New Year.

I wrapped up my Orlando workshop Sunday but I’m still here visiting with my youngest daughter The Effervescent Gabrielle for her birthday, so the rest of the week I’ll be posting the ‘warm up’ sketches the class and I did over the weekend.

Someone in the class suggests a subject, I do an image search for a good reference, and then project the image up on the big screen with a blank area to… READ MORE
I received several emails from readers who were outraged about my post yesterday, where I showed a 5 year old piece of variant cover art I did for the DC title Batman/Superman reprinted as the cover of the Australian MAD Magazine (with modification to the art), without my knowledge or without renumeration.

Last week Wednesday I was honored to be a guest speaker for “Pixar University” at the Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, CA! This all came about thank’s to Pixar’s Josh Cooley, whom I met many years ago when he was a guest speaker at the annual meeting of the National Cartoonists Society North Central Chapter. Josh was a Pixar story artist at the time and had just worked on “Up” and was then working on “The Incredibles 2”. How the chapter officers convinced him to to go Omaha to speak at our little get together I have no idea. Turned out Josh was a big… READ MORE
I’m in the City by the Bay doing a workshop at the Cartoon Art Museum today through Sunday! I’ll be announcing my European workshop dates and locations later next week, as well as at least one more US one in the late summer. In the meanwhile, I still have a few spots open in Burbank (only ONE left!), Las Vegas (Only TWO left), Phoenix, Chicago and Long Island City (Only ONE left)! Go grab one before you miss out on 2020!
