Me and Tony Moore! Finally catching my breath (well, not really but getting some momentum going in the studio anyway) after attending C2E2 this past weekend. These conventions are always crazy and I end up chained to my table doing drawings all day for people and not getting much of a chance to walk around. That’s what I’m there for, so I don’t mind that at all but I do sometimes wish I could walk around a bit and see more than just my immediate area. I can only imagine what it must be like for the really big name comic book artists and writers… READ MORE

One of the gems in the¬¨‚ĆInside MAD book is the mind-blowing, pull-out poster illustration by Sergio Aragon?¬©s depicting virtually everyone ever associated with the magazine in its sixty-plus year history. Not only is it chock full of “The Usual Gang of Idiots”, it contains dozens and dozens of references to famous MAD moments, items and other goodies. In true MAD fashion, this is an image you can spend an hour staring at and still miss some of the gags and little touches. Fear not! The good folks over at Doug Gilford’s MAD Cover Site (ok, Doug… but with a little help from his friends) has… READ MORE

I just finished a big MAD parody job (can’t tell you what it is, so don’t ask) that had me tied in knots for the better part of two weeks, which means that today is catch-up day on all the stuff I had to ignore during my marathon. You know… stuff like bills, paperwork, emails… sleeping. One of the big things I have had to put on the back burner is signing, packing and shipping all those sketches and original art I put up for sale in the Studio Store in the last couple of weeks. My sincerest apologies for all those folks who bought… READ MORE
