I just booked a new workshop for 2026… Cleveland, OH! This will be my first workshop in Cleveland. My first in Ohio in fact! So, if you’ve been waiting for me to come closer to your neck of the woods and this fits the bill, register now. There are only twelve spots available. READ MORE
My March 14-15 workshop in Nashville sold out very quickly and I had so many people on the waitlist that I went ahead and added a second workshop. This one will take place the week before the original dates, same location and details. You can register for your spot here. I also have a brand new Workshop information page on my website that is far more comprehensive as far as information about what these classes are all about. It was written by Kristi Durham who took my workshop in Toronto and who is a web-marketing guru. After the class she told me that as a… READ MORE
I’ve got my first few workshops for 2026 arranged! I’ll be teaching in cities I’ve never been before… Nashville and Salt Lake City. I limit these classes to 12 students, so there is plenty of one-to-one instruction and feedback and you really get to know your fellow artists. The dynamics of an in-person workshop like this are so much more effective than your typical online class. Video lessons are fine but there is nothing like total immersion, and drawing alongside others. If you are a beginner or hobby artist and are afraid you will feel like an imposter in a room full of Picassos, don’t… READ MORE
I’ll be spending two weeks in the Orlando area in November, so I scheduled a rather unique version of my workshop up in the Villages area of central Florida… a one-day workshop! This is a bit of an experiment to see how a shorter, more streamlined version of my usual two-day workshop will work. I’m skipping a lot of the extraneous stuff I usually do like the long “live caricature” exercise (we’ll just get a taste of that instead), and streamlining the individual features lessons, but the majority of the information I share in the full weekend class will remain. The benefits of this format… READ MORE
My pals (and fellow former presidents of the National Cartoonists Society) Steve McGarry and Rick Stromoski have collected their short lived but insanely funny syndicated comic strip “Mullets” into a single volume book. Here’s the elevator pitch: Mullets by Steve McGarry and Rick Stromoski with special guest Luke McGarry They say write about what you know … so Steve McGarry and Rick Stromoski created a comic strip about two idiots. Meet Kevin and Scab, two mulleted morons employed at Mildew’s Hardware Store by Kevin’s long-suffering dad, Kenneth. There’s Britney, the Goddess of Register Three and the object of Scab’s unrequited love, and Old George, who… READ MORE
Just added to the 2025 workshop lineup: Las Vegas, NV! With a limit of 12 students, these workshops almost always sell out, so don’t wait around to book your spot! READ MORE
