After checking http://www.sfreporter.com/, I see that they changed the lettering on the Pro-Life Lady’s sign. The new line is better, and I would have gladly made that change, so as always, I’m left wondering: WHY DON’T THESE PEOPLE EVER CALL ME???

It's some immutable law of Art Direction: when they want a change that sucks, they're not the least bit shy about asking me to do it, but when they want a change that actually makes sense, they handle it in-house, guaranteeing that it'll look crappy

MAD Magazine gig from 2004

Earlier today on Tumblr, “Anonymous” asked if I’d ever done an assignment for MAD Magazine. The answer is: yes, I’ve done one job for MAD, (in spring of 2004) and here it is. These were drawings for a two page feature mocking TV “reality” dating shows, (then at the height of their popularity). 

I’d grown up on MAD, and I was thrilled to get the chance to work for the mag. While this was fun stuff to draw, it was also a lot of work on a fairly tight deadline, and by this point, MAD’s historically-generous page rates had been trimmed way back. For reasons unknown to me, they never gave me another assignment, and I haven't been too aggressive about chasing after them for more work, because the pay is just OK.

One thing I should point out: if these illos strike you as a bit racy for the pages of MAD, (largely a kids’ mag these days) don’t blame me. They asked me to amp up the jiggly-pokie stuff.

Cover Art for MIDNIGHT BLUE and PORN KING DVDs

Cartoonist and cinephile Sophie Cosette was kind enough to include me on her list of Ten Essential DVD Cover Artists. While I don't feel worthy to be listed alongside Ernesto Cabral, Al Hirschfeld, 

Jack Davis and Ronald Searle, I'm not going to argue with the lady.

Sophie opted to post the cover from MIDNIGHT BLUE VOL.3: CELEBRITIES, but in the interest of full disclosure, here's ALL the art I drew for Blue Underground's MIDNIGHT BLUE collection, 

(all drawn between 2006 and 2009). 

Those interested in checking out these discs can find most of them on Amazon, or buy them directly from Blue Underground here: http://www.blue-underground.com/category.php?category=10
