Along the lines of the last post about taking a cringeworthy older crossover drawing of mine and updating it, today’s update is a similar revamp. The comic book worlds of Harvey and Marvel have two red-robed witches in them, (The Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff and Wendy, the Good Little Witch, […]
Be sure to pick up this week’s annual “Humor Issue” of Mountain Xpress in Asheville and surrounding areas. I was allowed, once again, to illustrate the cover. Here’s the cover with and without the text in pre and published form: Also I was as well asked to again draw a […]
Having more time at home with gigs canceled, the makers of the usually January-only “Caricature Resolution” added an extra month for April 2020. I participated in both that, and the Tom’s Daily Coronacature challenge as well. Some of the subjects for each day overlapped, but these are just the caricatures […]

Drawlloween 2017 – Day 30 is: CAULDRON CRONES The penultimate day of Drawlloween brings us a prompt of wizened old witches tending to their malevolent brew. Keeping with the contrary way I’ve been going with these prompts, I went for the opposite of crones, and found three comely cauldron keepers […]
