Me and Mort, 2006 NCS Reuben Award Weekend, Chicago IL March is a big month for MAD birthdays… today (well, actually tomorrow the 22nd but WordPress sucks and posted this 22 hours earlier than scheduled) is the incomparable Mort Drucker‘s 89th! Happy birthday to one of the greatest cartoonists and caricaturists who ever put pen to paper!! To say Mort “wrote the book” on MAD‘s movie and TV parodies is an enormous understatement. By most accounts, the film and TV show spoofs became a staple of the MAD identity largely because of Mort’s unique talents. When Mort brought his work in to show the folks… READ MORE

I just got booked as a last minute substitute guest for my fellow MAD man Tom Bunk at Indiana Comic Con next weekend in Indianapolis. Tom had to cancel his appearance at the last second, so the nice folks at ICC asked me if I could fill in for him. I suspect they already had a bunch of MAD “Tom” stuff printed up so this way they saved some dough on reprinting promos, but I am flattered nonetheless! Anyway, the convention is March 30-April 1st at the Indianapolis Convention center. I’ll have a table in the “guest artists” area somewhere, and am giving a presentation… READ MORE

I just booked my final 2018 workshop, taking place November 30th – December 2nd in Phoenix, AZ! As always, this is a three day workshop limited to 12 students, personally conducted by me. You know… IN PERSON. I watch you draw. I pull up a chair and go over your work. I examine what you are doing, find areas you specifically need to work on to improve, and show you how to do it. There is only room for 12 students, so don’t wait around to register. Put a deposit down and guarantee yourself a space. Deposits are refundable up until 90 days before the workshop.… READ MORE

Next weekend I’ll be abandoning wintery Minnesota for sunny Anaheim, CA to attend Wondercon 2018! Wondercon takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center March 23rd-25th, and you’ll find The Lovely Anna and me at booth number SP-83. You will also find me at the highly entertaining Quick Draw hosted by Mark Evanier, where I will not be just making a cameo appearance, but will be one of the three participating artists! That means I’ll be going head to head with Quick Draw master Sergio Aragonés and Scott Shaw! Lonnie Milsap, which also means I’ll be getting my artistic ass handed to me. Should be fun,… READ MORE

Above: Class illustration from my recent workshop in Los Angeles Hey Northwest U.S. artists! Announcing one of my three day caricature workshops in Portland OR! The dates are Fri June 29th to Sun July 1st. The workshop will be taking place in the Wacom Experience Center at Wacom headquarters. This is a great space and best of all Wacom will be providing digital equipment for students to use if desired. As a result I’ll be spending a little more time demoing and teaching my digital coloring techniques than I usually do at these workshops. Otherwise the weekend will be the usual intense learning and drawing… READ MORE
