This job came in on Friday, was due the following sunday. Lots of fun- I wish it had been in color! This is for tshirt design funded by Nike, in honor of Black History Month.
On the bottom is Bo Jackson, then a famous soccer player called Ronaldo, a famous Kenyan marathon runner (whose name excapes me right now) and a famous female basketball player named Lisa Leslie.

The new year is rolling right along with lots to do! Right now I'm working on character designs for not one, but two iPad/iPhone apps, AND a series of book illustrations. All three should hopefully see the light of day later this year, and I can't give away details until then.
To warm up today, I did this caricature of the great Conan O'Brien. Not much to say about it- He's got one of the best faces in show biz if you ask me, and one could do a drawing every day for a year of this guy and come up with something different each time. Lots of fun.

In the last two weeks I've really gotten slammed with work. That's a good thing! But, leaves me less time to do drawings for the blog. That's a bad thing!
But, in procrastinating today, I came across this little nugget over at Mark Evenier's blog, News From Me.
It's a pilot from the early 70s put out by Rankin Bass (the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer people) for a cartoon show that apparently never made it, call Mad Mad Mad Comdians, and features some of the biggest comedians of the day as animated caricatures! AND, it's really funny!
Any fan of 1)cartoons, 2)caricature, and 3)all of the above will really get a kick out of this. Enjoy!

This is officially Jack Davis weekend in NYC! Tonight, 12/2, he'll be at the Scott Eder Gallery in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Any fan of Mad, comics, or illustration in general should run, not gallop, to these events this weekend only!
Tomorrow, he'll be in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Comics Fest. From their Facebook page:
