Deadlines conquered. Back to real life, including getting caught up on my “Sketch o’the Week” action heroes series. I’ve decided to do a series within a series- all seven of “The Magnificent Seven!” I’m starting off with Yul Brynner. As always, the original sketch is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
I’m still buried with deadlines so this week’s “Sketch o’the Week” is another Workshop Warmup. The subject, suggested on the spot by the class to warm up with, is Spice Girl Mel B. aka “Scary Spice”. This one is the actual 10-12 minute quick warmup sketch with no further tinkering. READ MORE
I’m still frantically trying to get on top of several deadlines before my trip to Detroit this weekend, so this week’s Sketch o’the Week is another cop-out “workshop warmup” from my last workshop in DC… Walt Disney! READ MORE

This is essentially a recreation of a sketch cover I did at a comic con some years ago of gonzo-journalist Hunter S. Thompson, done as a rare commission for someone after the sketch they originally had purchased ended up missing. READ MORE
I was sorry to hear of the passing of actor Rutger Hauer yesterday. “Blade Runner” is probably my favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time, or at least in the top three. He was one of the big reasons. He could have played the role of Roy Batty as a cartoonish villain, but he imbued him with more humanity than most of the human characters in the film had. I know his career was a LOT more than that film, but that was an iconic performance. Anyway he fits perfectly into my “classic action heroes” series except for the hero part… but I don’t care! RIP… READ MORE
I’m starting a new series for the “Sketch o’the Week”… classic action heroes! First up is Bruce Willis from 1988’s “Die Hard”. As always, the original of this sketch is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
