The Great MAD Art Sale is over. Thanks to everyone who purchased some of my originals from my first ten years of working for MAD. Look for the next Great MAD Art Sale in 2020, where I will have a selection of my second decade of original MAD artwork available for cheap, cheap, cheap!

This is just a reminder that there is still plenty of original artwork straight from the pages of MAD available on The Great MAD Art Sale page. A lot of pieces have been snapped up, but many more remain including full parody pages from movies like “Traffic” (Oscar award winner), “Behind Enemy Lines” (Oscar Meyer winner), “The Royal Tennenbaums” (Oscar the Grouch winner) and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” (Oscar Madison winner), as well as TV shows like “Scrubs”, “Entourage”, “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, “the Bernie Mac Show”, “America’s Most Wanted” and “Boston Public”. I’ve been accused by some very well respected pals… READ MORE

Click to visit Anton’s blog for a look at all his GLEE parody art Anton Emdin is a incredibly talented cartoonist and illustrator from Sydney, Australia who does work for the Aussie version of MAD. I’ve had the pleasure to meet Anton both at the Australian Cartoonists Association’s Stanley Awards last year (where he brought home the Stanley for Best Illustrator, and did so again this year!) and this past year at the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Weekend, where we were both nominated for the award for Magazine Feature/Magazine Illustration (we both lost). A few months ago Anton emailed me to say he’d been assigned… READ MORE

I did some work on tonight’s episode of MAD on the Cartoon Network, specifically for a segment called “Ben 10 Franklin”… kind of an odd one as I really didn’t do any caricatures for it unless you count long dead presidents. I’ll share some of that work tomorrow. READ MORE

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ri1Vz37omA[/youtube] Some time ago I wrote about a documentary in the works about the great Will Elder, who’s work for MAD helped set the tone and style of humor the magazine would become famous for. I recently got an e-mail from the film’s creator Gary VandenBerg telling me about a donation site they have put up in order to try and raise funds to finish the film and get it out to the public. If you are interested in helping out, you can visit this site for more details. They’ve got about $14,000 and change to go and 46 days to get there. Different donation… READ MORE
