It looks unlikely that I can do a full three day workshop in Amsterdam. The costs of staging one are just too high… I have to charge more than I think people would be able or willing to pay to do it.

Cartoonists! Comic book artists! Animators! Graphic Novelists! Etc! It’s time to get an Artists Alley table at the NCSFest International Comic Arts Festival taking place May 17-19th in beautiful Huntington Beach, California! What’s this all about, you say?

These festivals are not tradeshows held in cavernous convention centers. They are celebrations of the… READ MORE

For those of you who hated the MAD iPad app for getting the digital version of the magazine, good news! MAD is discontinuing the app and moving its digital subscriptions over to Magzter. Here are all the details: Q: What happened to my MAD in my MAD app? A: We have listened to our fans through tweets, emails, Facebook, and millions of two complaints via Google+ – the experience of reading issues on the MAD app left much to be desired. We want our fans who like to read the magazine digitally to have as enjoyable and effortless reading experience as those who read the… READ MORE
