His invisibility is CLEARLY SEEN....nuff said!











Greetings earthlings! God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!

I hope all is well in your life.

I've been amazed lately as scientists look out into the vast universe looking for intelligent life. The question they ask is, “Are we all alone?” It causes me to wonder if they received a reply, ~ “No, you are not alone. Yes, I am here and I am Holy and I have a Son whom I crushed for your sins." ~ would they ask for another sign? Oh well, just wondering.

Today I'm posting my latest for the Weekly Standard. Oh, how I love Newt Gingrich. I'd be hard pressed to decide which face is more fun -Newt or Hillary.

Enclosed is a conte drawing of Newt and a few other sketches.
Gotta run. Glad the Maker of the heavens is there and does something so magnificent in the heart of anyone who comes to Him through his only Son Jesus.

Stunned that He will never leave me! ~ T

Oh Hillary! You make drawing fun!





GREEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOD!

Hope all is well.
Quick post on the many faces of my favorite person to draw. These drawings span the last 15 years of caricature for me.

These were drawn for The Village Voice and the Weekly Standard.

Could there be a wider chasm in world view? Either way, both have been fun to work for.
Gotta run. Stunned there is no more chasm between He and I.

This Poor man cried out.. The LORD heard me and saved me from all my troubles!






GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS, HAPPPPPY NEW YEAR. HOpe all is well in your life. God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. So grateful to know He rules this crazy place and gives peace in shakey times.

Today I'm posting a painting I did for the New York Times. Thank you Mihn Uong for working with me at the Village Voice and now dancing with me at the TIMES. YOu Rock!!!!!!!!!
This job was really cool. Mihn the art director always has really cool ideas. I painted the Mafioso dude cutting thru a bus on a plate of spaghetti a few years back for the Village voice.The idea was classic Minh.
The baby painting is in Oils and some digital like the papers and the type 2012 and the falling confetti.

Gotta run, HOpe the Mayans were wrong about this being the final year but I am looking forward to seeing HIm face to face and enjoying Him forever.
Stunned He's there to know and enjoy~T

Will draw Newt for food!






GREEEEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! He has shown up in this tiny speck we know as earth for the sake of binging sinners to Himself and show them who He is and who we are and whats to come. Praise Him thru His SON Jesus!
Today a quick post from last week's The Weekly Standard. I only really had a day to do this plus being sick is never cool. All that said I enjoyed it and sometimes wish I had more time but more time does not mean better.

I'm enclosing the Art directors sketch so you can see how I begin the idea.
I'm also enclosing the image I used to draw Newt. Remember you don't have to push too far to get a caricature. Figure out what you want to say with each face you do.

Gotta run, A special shout out to my favorite young artist David Blank. Keep drawing my friend. You are already drawing for the King.

Stunned that baby in the manger is the LORD of the universe!.~T

Float like a butterfly Sting like a bee!


GREEEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS. God is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible love to save sinners and show them something way more satisfying than a bottle or a drug or success (nothing wrong with success tho). ONLY Jesus satisfies.

Today I"m posting a job from prolly 12-15 years ago. I did this image for Sports Illustrated for Kids. I love Mohammad Ali and jumped at the chance to draw HIm. This image is in acrylics on strathmore 5oo series paper.

I used to do alot of exaggeration and still love it. Some magazines want lots of exaggeration and some have pulled me back and want a little more representation and not so big head.

My advice to young caricaturists is to put away your caricature books of your heros and find yourself. Study them as long as you have too then shut the books. Show the world who YOU ARE and not a rehashed version of your heros. Its worth repeating amatuers imitate but professionals steal. Steal like crazy the things you love about your heros and then work to make them blend into who you are. One more thing, Stop imitating Sebastian Kruger, he's the best in the world and he owns that title. Be yourself.
Gotta run.

Stunned that I'm not laying on the floor anymore. ~T

Subway sketches-NYC in a day!





Greetings Earthlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! Hope all is well in your universe.
LONG TIME NO POST. Very busy on lots of different things. Sometimes as an artist I look forward to quiet times, times to slow down and pursue things I really want to do. Never use your slow times/in between jobs time to worry. Rather use it to position yourself for what you really want to do.
Today I'm posting some sketches from my various travels. I was just in NYC and sketch'd on the plane and the subway. Way too much fun!
Gotta run. Thankful my life is held in the will of HIm who works ALL Things according to the counsel of His will.
Stunned I want his will and no longer mine.~T

COME FORTH and LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!






GREEEEETINGS EARTHLINGS, GOD is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! HOpe all is well in your universe.
GOd is good and compassionate towards the unbeliever. To believe and see HIm and LOve HIm is a GRACE so SPectacular that the sinner becomes amazed by Grace and comes to love HIm who was once a joke and a curse word.
GOd is good to prove to the sinner who HE IS, AND DO SOMETHING SO MAGNIFICENT IN his Heart that he KNOWS, THAT he KNOWS, THAT he KNOWS.... THANK you LORD!

Today, I thought I'd post something I get to do regularly, Storyboards. If you want to see more of my work GO to PitchHouse.net and see my studio with 4 of my buddies.

These frames were for a Gillette commercial and just might be on TV soon.
Its all digital and total frame count for the job was 14 frames all done in a day. CRAZY drawing and pressure for sure!

GOtta Run..... Jesus lives and my life is all because He lived, died, and rose again.
Stunned He lives and prays for me!~T
