I just made some art that will be featured in my good friend Alan Partridge‘s new stage show touring the UK and Ireland. This strange man and disembodied arm will serve as a tantalizing sneak preview, but the finished pieces will be projected behind Steve Coogan as part of an elaborate bit about Mills & Boon romance novel covers.
The long T-mas tradition continues, this time with a card by John Larriva inspired by Leyendecker’s T-mas covers for the Saturday Evening Post.
Shown above is the big reward from my last Kickstarter, “a custom portrait of you and Jerry Orbach.” And if you want your own custom portrait with Jerry Orbach (or, for some weird reason, someone else), you’re in luck because I’ve just opened up commissions for next year.

What’s that on the rooftop? Sleigh bells and… gold chains? Is it…? Could it be…? Yes, the new T-mas card is here! This year’s design is a collaboration with Evan Palmer, an artist I met in Norway last year (he’s also the character designer of the Netflix show about centaurs). One of the great things about artist residencies is they can put you in touch with people who can make awesome drawings of Mr. T piloting an enormous mechanical Santa.
