Michael Pence

My take on the Vice President and Donald Trump's Altar Boy. Obviously He's praying for Trump's impeachment.  You may think I'm being mean here, but I have little trust in folks who want use the government to enforce their specific religious values onto the entire country. As our founding fathers noted, Church and State should be separate.

John Cleese

That tall guy from MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS and FAWLTY TOWERS.

American Nero

Let's hope it doesn't come to this.

Groucho

The secret word is "birthday". His, that is.

Neapolitan Bonaparte

A historical ice cream man.

Mr. Tee

I've held this idea back for a LOOONNNNGGGGGGGG time. Most of you might not think long enough.

Pat Robertson: Holy ****!!

Was going thru news sites, found this guy, 700 Club's Pat Robertson, said something extremely stupid again. This idea came into my head. I'm sure i'll get flamed ONE way or the other. I can't believe the bull that comes out of these so-called religious people, much less there are STILL people eager to listen to them. I thought the public would have learned their lessons about televangelists back in the Jim and Tammy scandal days in the eighties.  Just sad.

Brad Garrett

A watercolor marker caricature of BRAD GARRETT from EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. 

Oprah and Tracey

Two caricatures done in watercolor marker I did some time back, The first one is Oprah Winfrey, obviously from her younger (thinner) days and the second is Tracey Ullman, the british comedienne whose TV show introduced THE SIMPSONS to the civilized (ouch) world.

Keith Lockhart

Caricature of BOSTON POPS conductor Keith Lockhart.

Art School Days: Montserrat Newsletter

This is from my time as a student at MONTSERRAT SCHOOL (nee; COLLEGE) of ART in BEVERLY;MA. I did this drawing of the faculty for a newsletter they published during my senior year there (1987). I must say, the old faculty were such good sports for letting me depict them as a bunch of deliquent Smurfs!

Creative Characters Card 2010

I recently did my SEVENTH annual holiday card illo for the Philly print company called CREATIVE CHARACTERS. These cards are usually a challenge for me, because how easy can it be to come up with concepts based on copy machines and printing presses?
This year, however, they had something slightly different in mind.They told me they were going to be introducing a number of new services, and in one of my rough sketches, I suggested a riff on THE TWELVE DAYS OF XMAS, using each new service like one of the verses..(12 response codes, 11 maketing designs, etc.) And I even drew in a Partridge in a pear tree complaining about what a travesty this whole thing is..Well, they decided to go with a different format, but they loved my partridge so much they asked me to draw it into the card!
This was also the first card I did for them that would have both an inner AND outer drawing, as opposed to just a cover drawing for the ones I did previously, so working from their outline, their latest face shots, back and forth e-mail scans, and right down to old-fashioned coloring BY HAND (Professional prismacolor markers) I came up with the two drawings up above. (They added the typography/lettering afterwards) I think it came out pretty good myself, the slick cardstock they used just accentuates the shiny glowing effcts I was trying to get with the markers!

My Earliest Existing/Published Work i.e; If You Think My Stuff Is Bad NOW...

This is probably the oldest example of my earlier work I stil have: The 1977 Horace Mann Public School Yearbook. The upper and lower color pieces are the front and back covers, respectively, and the middle piece is my interior artwork. The drawings are of the graduating class homeroom teachers. (Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. Emmith, Dr. Mayers, and Mrs. Yaffa) My art and woodshop teachers were Mrs. Gauthier and Mr. Capuccio.
Pretty amazing when the teachers actually WANT to have cartoons made of them!

Entertainment Caricatures

Three caricatures I did in Ink and Prismacolor Markers: Jay Leno, Ben Stein, and Penn and Teller.
