Some nice art from around the web … On the blog of illustrator Pep Montserrat, art from his book Un Dia a Gracia. If I understand correctly, it’s a commissioned sketchbook depicting his Barcelona neighborhood. Some beautiful line and paint work. Via Sam Hiti on Twitter, a video of bande dessinee artist Hermann (Jeremiah) at [...]

NCS Reuben Weekend 2011
Thursday, June 2, 2011
Here is my super-condensed cartoon report on the 2011 Reuben Awards weekend. Some of the many things I couldn’t fit into the comic: The webcomics panel on Friday was entertaining, with a lot of contrast between the folks on stage. Kate Beaton’s slideshow moved at machine-gun pace—you’d barely recover from one punchline before another drilled [...]

I Think He’s Imaginary
Monday, April 25, 2011
Some quick studies of young “Bond villain in embryo” Ernesto, from Richard Thompson’s exquisite Cul de Sac. I like Ernesto a lot. It’s really difficult to draw him as a visually older-skewing child, without making him look like a childlike adult a la Dr. Sivana. Also I think I made up the vest and tie.

Not Drawn to Scale
Friday, October 15, 2010
Here’s my take on the “influence map” meme going around, which is probably not going around any more at this point. Let me start off by saying I have no idea why I have so many leering characters here. From top left to bottom right: 1. Winslow Homer – My favorite watercolor painter, ever. Amazing [...]

NCS Reuben Weekend 2010
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Over the Memorial Day weekend I visited New Jersey for the National Cartoonists Society 2010 Reuben Awards. I had a great time at the NCS events, and wandering around whatever big city that was across the water. I was given a “first time attendee” ribbon to stick on my name tag, which I think prompted [...]

The Color of Indecision
Monday, May 17, 2010
I’ve been trying to figure out how to do the city backgrounds in the book – how much detail to go into, how stylized to make them, etc., putting off drawing those pages until I had a better handle on it. Today I finally got some results I liked. Like most of the advances I [...]

Thompson and Thompson: SPX 2008
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
I made my first pilgrimage to SPX this year, and had a great time. My wife and son came with me so it sort of doubled as a weekend getaway (now I just have to convince her that New York in June will be equally fun.) Everyone was friendly, good books and art were plentiful, [...]
