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. I guess they expected me to be outraged as well. Most were surprised that I was far from outraged. In fact I barely shrugged. Why? Three words: Work for Hire. All the work I did for MAD (and that most people have done in the nearly 70 years of the magazine) was done… READ MORE

Last week Wednesday I was honored to be a guest speaker for “Pixar University” at the Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, CA!

Back in late June I did a caricature workshop with 16 terrific artists in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It was a great group, and we had a terrific weekend drawing and working together. Unfortunately the timing of the class was tough, because I was up against the print deadline for MAD #9, which included my “Once Upon a Time- Lousy Law” retro parody and the “Lion King” spoof. In fact The Lovely Anna spend the first day and a half seeing the sites of Amsterdam on her own while I was holed up in our AirBnB frantically trying to finish the last of the “Lion King”… READ MORE
