Just added these snapshots of people with their caricatures that I did this weekend in Charlotte for the Maersk Company Party there. Just follow the link above or click on the photos below:

This week’s Toon Weekly challenge was about game shows. I wasn’t that inspired by it, so I put it off ’til the last minute and had to rush something out quickly. If it sounds like I’m making excuses, that’s because I am, but here it is, if the trend of washed up celebs hosting game shows that become even worse relationship killers than “The Moment of Truth”… then, you may have Debbie, sorry, DebRA Gibson hosting…… (it could happen!!) 

I already shot a Spiderman/Doc Ock warehouse battle, so now it’s equal time for DC and a Batman/Penguin battle at his abandoned warehouse lair, which looks somewhat similar.    It is at the usual location or go directly to it by clicking here. 

In today’s news:

• I added this WordPress blog to my site because my host (Dreamhost), had an “easy install” of it and that’s why it looks so plain, the “advanced install” was the only option that allowed you to customize the look.

• I actually remembered to bring my camera AND I remembered to USE it while doing caricatures in Asheville last night. So I updated the caricature photos page of my website (and by updated, I mean actually created one) and you can see it here. If I can remember as well, and have time, in the future, I will try to have one up for other caricature gigs at which I draw.3) After following a link mentioned in (fellow caricaturist) Brian Vasilik’s webblog to Toon Weekly, I found the whole idea of being forced to be creative on a weekly basis more of a productive idea than a tedious one (which I would certainly have thought my initial reaction would be, since I am quite lazy) and I jumped right in on their last week’s challenge to create a new Dick Tracy villain (see my entry below:)

• ..as well as doing a few roughs for their current week’s challenge to redesign a character from the Wizard of Oz. I was going to go with darker versions of the Wicked Witch of the West and then the Munchkins, but decided to settle on a Howard Hughes version of the Wizard himself

• 4) It’s Wednesday, so that means that if it’s the other Wednesday and not the one where my cartoon is not in the Mountain Xpress print version, then it must be the week that it is in there. Since they don’t put it on their web site as well, I will continue to update the current cartoon here (and on my Mountain Xpress cartoons page) for posterity and for those that can’t get out to pick up an issue:
