Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways Greeting Card

It has been a good week. First I have sold a few of the above Merry Hanumas – Go Both Ways designs at my shop.   We have a bunch of Jewish and Christian friends/family so rather than NOT send cards, I design my own.  This was a concept that I never did use for our cards but thought I’d throw it up on my store for the heck of it.  And several people have bought (woohoo $10 for me). And don’t tell me it should be Chrismukkah. That name sucks.

Then I find out that I won a contest over at G’s Cedars Mountain Website.  I don’t recall answering correctly but I am not one to argue especially since he wrote such a nice endorsement of my own blog.  Please go check it out here.

Finally, as I mentioned I have been doing some random Muggings (caricatures).  One I did last week was for fellow cartoonist Jim Huntsman.  He is on Google Plus and has his own site at Comic Kvetches.  This was my payback

Joel Poirier takes on Bearman

This incredible version of the BEARMAN is compliments of Joel Poirier, cartoonist extraordinairre, and creator of Stripped Comics (don’t get any ideas, it is not porn – it’s about Superheroes.)

I have been doing some caricatures on Google Plus that I call “muggings”.  You can check out some I have done here.  Joel thought I should get a taste of my own medicine and drew this up for me.  Love it!!

Make sure to check out Joel and follow him on Google Plus or Facebook

 

UPDATE

Ryan Klassen of City Folk the Webcomic wanted to join the party too so he did a mash up of Steve Buscemi and Bearman.

Find him on Google Plus too.

 

 

 

 

 

I am the 1% T-shirt

 

It has been a while since I created a new shirt design for my shop.   This one screamed to be done.  The great thing is it works whether you are part of the Occupy Wall Street (or Elm Street) crowd AKA the 99% or if you are part of the 1% crowd.  See how democratic I am.  Appropriate for all political spectrums and income levels.

Mad Art of Caricature and Made for Art

So I was excited to get the mail this week and find my ordered copy of Tom Richmond’s The Mad Art of Caricature.   For the uninformed, Tom is one of the regular artists for Mad Magazine along with a host of other projects.  Pretty much most of the movie/tv spoofs of the last 10 years has been his work.  He also hosts a blog and has been an invaluable resource on copyright and caricatures.

Here is my signed copy.

On this blog post you can see Tom actually drawing the Alfred E Neuman to ship to me (ok maybe it wasn’t mine but it looks like it COULD be).

The book looks amazing and I can’t wait to dig in and find out all the things I have been screwing up in my own caricatures.  But Tom, I think your foreign printer messed up a little with this insert.  I can’t find this book or this author online..haha

On a separate note, I want to give a shout out to a Google Plus friend who has been very supportive over there.  Artist Eric Johnson has created a new site called Made for Art .   This is how he describes the site:

If you enjoy browsing interesting, creative sites showcasing the talents of interesting, creative people, you should check out my new site. Whether its art, poetry, webcomics, ebooks, sculpture, photography, crafts or hobbies, etc., let MADE FOR ART be your link to Creative Minds .   And if you are a Creative Mind and would like to share your work and links on this unique, up and comings site, just let me know you’d like to be added to the MADE FOR ART circle!

Head over there as he has featured my work and if you want Eric to include you in the future reach out and support him.
