I just sold the last artist proof of my “Bats in the Belfry” print. That’s it. All gone. Never to be reprinted. Just FYI, the next one to go will probably be my Sherlock Holmes limited edition print “The Game’s Afoot”, which has only 53 of 450 remaining. READ MORE

Workshop availability update: Both the London and Dallas workshops are sold out! If you missed out you can be added to the waitlist of any sold out workshop by emailing me and letting me know which one you are interested in. I keep a waitlist request queue and in the event someone backs out I offer that spot to the first person on the list. If they decide not to do it, I go to the next person on the list, etc. I often have at least one person back out, so the sooner you get on the waitlist the better chance you have at… READ MORE

… but it’s running out. All orders placed by Sunday ship Monday, and I’ll try to keep up with shipping as the week progresses, but shipping times get dicey the week before the holidays. On the workshop front, I’ll have some news next week about more upcoming locations and dates, but right now I have only ONE SPOT remaining in the Toronto and Dallas workshops, and only TWO SPOTS left for the London workshop. So don’t wait any longer if you are thinking about going, or want to get a spot for someone for a Christmas gift. READ MORE

I guess I should have held off with the Deadline Demon this morning. Sitcomics just released a look at proofs of a couple of pages from their upcoming “Z-People” comic written by Darin Henry, pencils and inks by me, colors by Glenn Whitmore and letters by Marshall Dillon. Here they are! The book will be released next month. Check out the Sitcomics page for more details. READ MORE

As a rule I do not promote crowd sourcing projects just because 1) there are way too many of them 2) if I promote one I get inundated with requests to promote others, and that’s not what this blog is about. I stopped promoting Kickstarters about 5 years ago. That said, I’m breaking my own rule and promoting a Kickstarter project from my pal and fellow Minnesota cartoonist/illustrator Cedric Hohnstadt. It’s for a book called “Mostly Nonsense”, and is a collection of gag cartoons he has done via his web comic site Sketchbook Silliness. The book contains over 100 cartoons ranging from clever to silly… READ MORE

Just a FYI to all those who are thinking about ordering one of my limited edition prints, signed books, sketches or original art as a gift for someone this holiday season: I’ll be out of town from Dec 9-16th and unable to ship anything out during that time. Anything ordered before Dec 9th will be shipped out prior to my leaving, and anything on or after Dec 9th won’t go out until Mon Dec 18th. That’s cutting it close with the USPS’s usual holiday shipping chaos. So, if you want something from the Studio Store, I’d get the order in by Friday. READ MORE
