Back to my “Classic Rock” series of caricature sketches… this week is legendary guitartist, Eric “Slowhand” Clapton. As always the original is available in the Studio Store.
Lots of stuff going on right now, including a short but fun MAD piece for #504, more animation storyboards, a movie poster, a special project for a colleague and I’m just wrapping up the illustration for the 2010 National Cartoonist Society Reuben Awards T-shirt. Whew. Here are some goofy images I did recently as part of what will be an animated gag for a TV show promo. Babies, baby… I got a lot of practice doing these at the theme parks:

From 1990 to 1994 I did pencils for a comic book title called “Married… with Children” for a company called NOW Comics. I did 26 issues in total (I think). The first several issues were penciled by artists Dave Schwartz and Mark Braun, and I took over with issue number 6. After issue 7 they restarted the numbering (#1’s sold better… shocking, I know).

One of the coolest things about NCSFest this past weekend was the “Windows Trail” where over 50 businesses in Huntington Beach signed up for cartoon/comic window display. Each business got paired with a cartoonist and they they got custom designed windows for the Festival. I got assigned to local gym “F45” (go figure) so I used a combination of existing art and did some new stuff, all with bodybuilding/fitness/beach themes. Mark Wahlberg is part owner of the gym,…
This is a 1/2 page illustration I did for School Library Journal back in 2009 for a story about how magazines were becoming more popular with teenagers at the time.

Basically all the commissions I did this year were caricatures of individuals, so I didn’t bother to take any pictures of anything.
