Thanks for all the great feedback on the possible second edition of the book. I received a lot of great thoughts as well as some enthusiastic support of the idea. Some of the suggestions were things I was already planning on doing, and some were things I didn’t realize people would like to see added or see more of. The second book will contain (among other possible things): Rewritten and rethought concepts and approach of caricature fundamentals throughout New sections or expanded sections about drawing children, older people, specifics like mustaches. beards, glasses, etc. A chapter on drawing/exaggerating bodies Expanded chapter on live caricature techniques,… READ MORE

I mentioned this in passing a few weeks ago here, but I am seriously considering doing a substantial rewriting of my book The Mad Art of Caricature“. In teaching all these workshops I have come up with some new concepts and ways to explain the process of seeing and drawing a caricature that I think are worthy of inclusion. To be honest, these workshops have changed the way I approach my caricatures as well as how I teach others. That said, it will be a lot of work to revamp the book because I am not talking about adding a couple of pages of fluff.… READ MORE

Well, one review anyway… from Batman-news.com. They have some nice things to say about Jacob Lambert and my new book Don’t Let the Penguin Drive the Batmobile. Of the three kids book parodies I drew for MAD, this was my favorite. I find it more challenging to parody the look of a more simple, minimalist art style than a more illustrative, elaborate kind of art. It took some thinking and experimenting to merge the Batverse with the Mo Willems Pigeonverse, but in order for a parody of something like Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus to work, the look of the visuals must capture… READ MORE

Here’s one last commissioned sketch cover from New York Comic Con. I had to bring this one home and mail it out, something I try not to do. The guy doing the kicking is the person who commissioned the piece. READ MORE

I’m getting home from New York today where The Lovely Anna and I did New York Comic Con. The show was crazy busy, especially with commissions. One of the things I do are “sketch covers”. For those not familiar with these, they are comics that have a heavyweight blank paper cover over top of the printed cover. This blank cover usually has the logo of the comic on it, so artists can draw their own “cover” on it. It’s a popular thing at comic book conventions. Anyway, MAD has done two of these sketch covers, one was issue #539. I have a pile of those… READ MORE
