Q: Has a director ever asked MAD Magazine to do a parody of their movie? Or have you guys only ever picked films to do parodies on of your own volition? A: I don’t know of any specific examples, but I have been told by some of the longtime Usual Gang of Idiots that more than a few movies studios/production companies would send MAD materials on their films to try and get them to do a parody of it.

No doubt she played many other roles, but those were the… READ MORE

It happens to live caricaturists all the time the world over… you flip the drawing over to show it to your customer/model and their response is “I look like I’m pissed off!” It’s hard to explain to someone that, when they aren’t actively smiling, certain faces just look that way, and when you exaggerate features they tend to look even more “that way”. Now thanks to internet memes, this type of face has a label: Resting Bitch Face (RBF). Yes. it finally has a name and is on the radar of the world at large. Caricaturists everywhere rejoice. RBF is a face that, when at… READ MORE

It’s getting a little crazy in the studio, so rather than post the Deadline Demon, I thought I’d put up some old artwork. Here’s pencil sketch of Megan Fox from 2009. I did a little digital wash on it and used in my book. READ MORE
