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 […]
I have to admit, I wasn’t sure who Toby Jones was, when I saw today’s assigned celebrity caricature. Once I looked up his IMDB credits, I realized I had seen him in many films, but didn’t know his name. I was just going to go with a simple, black and […]
As was the case in 2018 and 2019, the local alt-weekly paper in Asheville, The Mountain Xpress, expressed a desire for me to once again create a local-themed cover illustration for what has become an annual “humor” issue for the paper. The centerpiece was decided to be the nearly 100 […]
Day 13 is Emma Watson, and I had to go with another comic book character. Drawing her as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, or at least as Hermione Granger, the teenage witch student at Hogwarts.

A recent Twitter tweet about a Facebook post about making fun of the evergreen topic about current residents complaining about how Asheville isn’t like it used to be, caused me to remember a cartoon I did on the very same subject, and that caused me to realize that said cartoon […]
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 […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 28 is: GHOULS RUSH IN Other great pun prompt, but I was just not in the mood to draw some generic “ghoul” and so I went to the original term origin in Arabic, which was “ghul”. That reminded me that the DC Comics villain, Ra’s Al […]
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 24 is: AW, HEX Going as literal as possible, once again, I immediately thought of DC Comics’ own weird western star, Jonah Hex. However, to keep the Halloween witchcraft theme that was surely intended, I added an appropriate DC occult character to be hexing him. In […]
