Holy Media Overload, Batman! An interview with me about the Tarantino film art and the process behind it posted today on the Motion Picture Association of America’s “The Credits” feature, written by noted film critic and author Nell Minow. I think my Warholian 15 minutes might be in play. READ MORE
David Levin‘s marvelous Pop Goes the Culture TV show has been doing a series of interviews with “The Usual Gang of Idiots” about the end of original content in the regular issues of the magazine. He must be reaching the bottom of the barrel because a new episode just got posted featuring me as a guest, recorded live from my studio in beautiful downtown Burnsville. Visit David’s YouTube Channel to see interviews with former MAD editors Joe Raiola and Charlie Kadau, and MAD artist Ray Alma, with more to come I am told. In fact, check out his other episodes of the show featuring an… READ MORE
I try really hard when I do a comic-con to only do commissions while there, and not ahead of time or take them home and ship them later. This is for two reasons. First, it makes this kind of thing unique in that you can only get one these from me at a comic con, and it’s (mostly) the only time I work in brush pen and Copic markers. Second, I am usually swamped with freelance work right after being away from the studio, so it takes me a while to get to any commissions, which I always feel bad about. The Lovely Anna is… READ MORE
Since Quentin Tarantino and Jimmy Kimmel showed this off on the Kimmel show last night, MAD officially released the cover of #9 on Twitter today so I can share it here. Art by me but if you are looking at it and thinking “those look just like Jack Davis feet” you’d be right… I was instructed to channel Jack as part of the whole retro early 60’s vibe. There’s a lot more story to all this but I have to wait until the issue comes out to spill it. READ MORE
San Diego Comic Con was so crazy I forgot to take pictures of all but a couple of the commissions and drawings I did for people. Above is one of the many sketchcovers I did during the show, and below is a “live” style caricature of Mark Hamill as “The Joker” from Batman: The Animated Series. READ MORE

To misquote Mark Twain: “The report of MAD‘s death have been greatly exaggerated” Many news outlets are reporting that MAD is done as of issue #10. That is not the case, and my post yesterday made it very clear that the magazine would continue to publish with issue #11, but would feature new cover art and interiors with reprinted classic material as opposed to all new material. News stand distribution will stop, and the magazine will only be available through current subscriptions and via the direct market (i.e. comic book shops). That is all 100% confirmed as of this writing. That said, these officially stated… READ MORE
I just go back from 13 days in Europe where I thought workshops in Amsterdam and Switzerland, enjoyed some between time in the former and sweated a lot. Here’s one of the warmup sketches the class and I did in Switzerland… UK politician Boris Johnson. READ MORE
