This is a tough day for cartooning. In addition to the passing of Jack Davis, we also lost the very talented Richard Thompson. Richard was best know for the brilliant daily syndicated strip “Cul de Sac” and the weekly Washington Post comic “Poor Richard’s Almanac”, but he was also a terrific illustrator and an incredible caricaturist. His work has appeared in major publications like US News and World Report, National Geographic, The New Yorker and others. He was honored with the 2010 National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award for “Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year” among many other awards and honors. I did not know Richard very… READ MORE

One of the greatest cartoonists who ever lived just left this world… the afterlife is going to be a much funnier place starting today. The great Jack Davis passed away today at age 91. No conversation about the the best of the best in the world of comics, cartooning and/or humorous illustration would ever be complete without his name near the top of the list. Jack was a cartoonists’s cartoonist, an man of immense talent and an eye for visual humor that left the entire world laughing at his simplest of drawings. He was one of the original EC Comics artists on their much beloved… READ MORE

A couple of years ago I was a guest on a terrific podcast series called “I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere”, having been asked on the show because of my just-then-released Sherlock limited edition print, some other Sherlock stuff I’ve done like audiobook cover and a sculpted pen, and the fact that I am a bit of a Sherlockian myself. That podcast just released a special 100th episode, with loads of guests and a look back at their remarkable run. If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, go take a listen and add “I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere” to your podcast list. Congrats to hosts… READ MORE
