Canadian & US cartoonists on The Zoomer

Last May I headed off to Toronto to attend the Association of Canadian Cartoonists convention and spend time with some of my favorite colleagues and friends.  While there a small group of us appeared on The Zoomer to talk shop and show our work.  Conrad Black (yes, that Conrad Black) is a regular participate on the network and also a frequent target of my Canadian colleagues over the years, as you’ll hear about in the interview.  Terry Mosher (aka Aislin), a longtime friend,  from the Montreal Gazette gives some great insights and of course wonderful quips.  Screen Shot 2016-07-02 at 8.00.32 AM

Recorded interview at CTNexpo

Last year I gave a presentation at the CTNexpo in Burbank, CA.  This very popular annual animation conference hosted by Tina Price is packed with the biggest names in the field who hold workshops and presentations for fans and others interested in the animation field.  Since the theme was “One of a Kind”, I was invited to talk about my transition from animation to editorial cartooning.  Here’s a link to a recorded studio interview CTN did while I was in town.  I’ll post the link to the actual presentation soon. File Feb 10, 3 04 54 PM

Russian cartoonist Victor Bogorad

I’ve been meaning to post these wonderful sketches by the Russian cartoonist Victor Bogorad ever since my return from the Memorial de Caen Dessin de Presse conference.  During a panel where we discussed religion and if there are limits in cartooning Victor was sitting in the audience, busily sketching.  He made a little booklet out of them which he presented to me afterwards.  I find his work quietly powerful, which not many people can accomplish.BogoradSketches2015
