As veteran readers of this site may have noticed, I recently redesigned this website. The biggest change: Fetch and What Now have been moved to their own subdomains. Now readers can read Fetch strips and story lines without breaking continuity when a What Now strip is posted; and vice-versa. The home page is now static, … Read More “New Site Design” »
FB reminded me of a doodle I tossed off at work 6 years ago under a different presidency. I love how crude yet effective this is.
Here is a progression of sketches of Gogol as I study his face and head toward the caricature I am aiming for. I am closer, but still not quite there yet. Still, I like these. The main challenge was his hair. Gogol was quite the dandy, and had really gorgeous hair that he seems to … Read More “Sketchbook: Gogol” »

The series is faithful to the look and style of the comics, the character design, the stories and, more unsettling, Hergé’s unapologetic racism and imperialist condescension. If anything, … Read More “Sketchbook: TinTin Discovers Edward Said” »
Rendered with a humble Pilot Precise 5 pen. Those are great for sketches. I like the bite of the line work here. I wonder if I can duplicate it in a more finished product. The challenge is to not tighten up, but respond to the line you are putting down. I’ll be using different tools … Read More “Sketchbook Caricature: Jim Bunning” »
