I’m on an actual vacation right now, and all these posts were done in advance so the blog wouldn’t miss a beat while I am drinking wine and eating cheese in France. Here’s a flashback SotW of pop queen Katy Perry, originally done in 2010 in pencil but digital grays added for the book. -Tom is on vacation outside the country, so comment moderation and responses may not happen for a while. Je suis désolé!- READ MORE

Still working on deadlines… here’s a flashback “sketch” of Edward Norton from his (brief) role as Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. This was actually done as an example for the wall at one of my theme caricature booths, so it is an example of my “live” caricature style. 4B pencil and freehand airbrush. READ MORE

I’m still really swamped trying to play catch up after my European workshop tour, so not time for a real SotW this week. As everybody seemed to enjoy last week’s post of one of the woram up drawings we sis in my workshop in Switzerland, I thought I’d post one of the ones we did from the London Workshop. Again, these are warm ups we do before we start class on the second day, and I look up subjects that might have some relevancy to the location of the workshop. One of the ones we did in London was this one of Keira Knightely. I… READ MORE

On the second day of my workhops the class warms up with four quick caricature sketches, and I usually have them suggest the subjects on the spot. In Seengen I asked for suggestions of some well know Swiss personalities, and one of the was tennis star Roger Federer. The above is my sketch, which I fleshed out a bit with some crosshatching while sitting around the airport on Monday. READ MORE

Out of my mind trying to get thimgs done before heading out to teach a couple of workshops in Europe in the next week, so I have to post a flashback sketch this week. This is an old one from 2012 that I did in pen… the devilishly handsome Steve Buscemi. “Shut the F#@& up, Donny!” READ MORE

I’m crazy busy right now and about to start an insane amount of traveling over the next three months. The “Sketch o’the Week” might see some old sketches and work thrown in for the foreseeable future. BUT that gives me a chance to do something I’ve been meaning to do anyway… post some of the rough sketches I did for various MAD jobs both here and in the Studio Store. These are what I would call “roughs” for the parodies I do for MAD. I do them on the computer most of the time these days, but I spent 15 plus years doing them in… READ MORE
