I met Guy Francis when I saw this amazing watercolor online of a Tusken Raider with a popsicle. I commented on his post and we talked back and forth and worked a deal where I could own it. I gave him my address to ship it and then I realized I would soon be driving right by his hometown. He was nice enough to let me swing by his home and pick it up and meet him in person. I soon discovered that Guy is one of the nicest human beings on planet Earth. His wife and kids all fall into that same category. I was able...

Lorenzo Etherington is a living legend! I put him right up there with Bill Watterson, Will Eisner, Walt Kelly, Winsor McCay etc. This guy can draw everything well; characters, mech, vehicles, architecture, backgrounds, vegetation and on and on. Not only can he draw them but he draws them at a whole different level. If you're like me, you wish you could draw like that too. Get ready for the best news ever... Lorenzo has a book on Kickstarter RIGHT NOW that will show you how to draw. Before you read this interview, go pledge for this book! http://kck.st/2G9tQNq   I’m sure...

It's never too late! Jeff Sornig went from retired Marine to a career in animation. I first heard Jeff's story on The Animation Network podcast and I was blown away.

Adam Koford is a man of many talents. Not only is he an amazing illustrator and cartoonist, his writing is great as well. I also believe he has some under-used marketing promotion skills in there too. I'm a huge fan of his Laugh Out Loud Cats which has all the charm of the comics from the 20's and 30's. When I first read it I thought, "how is it that I've never read such an amazing historic gem - I know all the great comics from the 20's and 30's". I was happy to find out it not only is from our time...

Want to see the world and do what you love? Of course you do! Sam tells us how she does it in this Artist Spotlight. Take it away Sam...   I feel like I was destined to be a caricaturist. Or at least, I’ve always sort of been one. When people ask me how long I’ve been drawing caricatures I never really know how to answer it but  typically say “Well, I’ve been drawing caricatures professionally for about 15 years but first started drawing them about 30 years ago, however I’ve been making fun of people my whole life.” *cue laughter*  The obsession with...
