I did an interview on the Chuck Load of Comics podcast yesterday at C2E2 where we discuss the status of MAD Magazine, I draw an awkward caricature of host Ryan and I make an official unofficial announcement about a little project MAD writer Desmond Devlin and I have cooking! READ MORE
My 2020 comic-con schedule kicks off two weeks from today in Chicago at C2E2. You’ll find me in booth H-4 in Artist’s Alley. I’ll have my usual bunch of crap for sale, be doing caricatures and commission sketches, etc. etc. My exclusive (i.e. you can only get one of these at my booth at this show) is an oversized print of the splash page from MAD #7, written by Desmond Devlin. I’ll only have 20 of these, all hand numbered and signed. Anytime you want to check my convention schedule, just click on my “Appearances” page in the menu. READ MORE
Later this month I’ll be at C2E2 in Chicago… you’ll find me at table H-4 in Artist’s Alley. This is the one show I do where I can drive in, so I sometimes bring some original MAD pages long (these are so big that I don’t carry or ship them around to shows I have to fly to.) This year I thought I’d post a few pages I’ll be bringing with in the Studio Store, so C2E2 attendees can pre-buy them and pick them up at the show. I’ll post some more next week, but here’s one Chicagoians will probably like… the splash page to… READ MORE
This appears to be the week for people cancelling workshop spots. My Minnesota Caricature Illustration Workshop is back to being sold out, but I now have a spot open in my Chicago area workshop. taking place April 18-19th. Grab it while you can! READ MORE
Attention European artists!! My planned workshop in Vienna, Austria is just 6 months away and I am still several students short of my minimum to not cancel the class. I have a few months to reach the minimum of 12 before I would have to pay a fee to cancel the event, but it is teetering on the brink right now. This workshop and the one the following weekend in Dublin are my only two workshops in Europe in 2020. It will be at least a year or longer before I get back across the Atlantic to teach again, so if your New Year’s resolution… READ MORE
I just updated my “Appearances” page with all the dates and cons I will be appearing at in 2020. I’ve greatly scaled back on my convention appearances this year. You will find me at: C2E2- Feb 28-Mar 1, Chicago Emerald City Comic Con- March 12-15, Seattle Wondercon- April 10-12, Anahiem San Diego Comic Con- July 22-26th, San Diego New York Comic Con- Oct 8-11, New York Never say never… I may end up at a couple of other ones this year but right now this is it for 2020. Come visit The Lovely Anna and I! READ MORE
I’m announcing another 2020 workshop location, this one in Indianapolis, IN, on Sept 11-13th! This might be my last US workshop this year… I’m working on a two workshop trip to Australia that will book up October and November. December is a tough month to have a workshop anywhere due to all the holiday gigs many caricaturists are busy with. Weekends in December are hard to find time in to do something like this. So, if one of my workshops is on your resolution list you might want to jump on this one. It might be your last chance in 2020. READ MORE
After a lot of thought I’m giving a new type of workshop a try in early 2020. This is very different from my caricature workshops, as this one focuses on caricature-based illustration and the techniques I use. This workshop will take place near my home here in Minnesota on March 27-29th. I know, I know… MARCH in Minnesota? Actually March is traditionally snowy but much warmer that the deep winter, and this is the end of March, so temps are typically above freezing in the 40’s or so. Besides, all this is happening INDOORS you know. I will share my process and techniques on two different… READ MORE
