I'm told this is a place a lot of artist's have gravitated to after abandoning the mess that is X, and I should be posting here more. Ok! Here's the cover art I did for the newest issue of MAD, Which is out tomorrow!
Thanks for the kind words, and for being a subscriber!
Thanks! Closing in on only 100 copies left. When it's gone it's gone... or on eBay for lots of $$. www.claptrapbook.com
I'm doing a one-day workshop in Nov in FL! If you’ve always thought it would be fun to take one of my workshops but the time, money, and stress of a full weekend drawing put you off, this is your chance! bit.ly/4pfF4Vp

I’m doing some of the SNL characters notably missing from that piece I did for New York magazine as SotW subjects. This week it’s John Belushi as Samurai Futaba!
I did this illustration for vulture.com and New York Magazine for a story about SNL's 50th. Before you complain that so-and-so should have been included, I was told who to include and only who to include, so direct your complaints to the folks lsited above. #caricature #snl

Many thanks!
On second thought, how about a series of caricatures of guys who played Tarzan? Here's Johnny Weissmuller! Incidentally, these original sketches are usually sold by the time I post then to social media, but this one is still available: store.tomrichmond.com/products/ske...
Thought I'd start a new series of caricatures of guys named Buster! Here's old school action star Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon!
I've been neglecting to post here on BlueSky, but will be correcting that going forward. Here's a few "Sketches o'the Week" that I missed posting here. Here's silent film comedy legend Buster Keaton!
We've reached the point in my ongoing look back at the work I did for MAD where my "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" prop art became the actual cover of MAD #9, and inside was a retro "parody" of the fictional 60's TV show from the movie. Read the full story here: www.tomrichmond.com/madness-134-...

We are back to normal after the holidays with yet another step on the long and tedious road that has been a look back at my work for MAD Magazine. This six pager appeared in MAD #8, Aug 2019, written by Alec Owen. Visit here for the whole feature, backstory, etc: www.tomrichmond.com/madness-133-...
I was not driving a train high on cocaine when I did this sketch, but it might have turned out better if I had. We're back to our “classic rock” series this week with a sketch of the late “Grateful Dead” frontman Jerry Garcia. I’m not sure how grateful he is about it, but he’s most definitely dead.
I’ve scheduled two new workshops in 2025… Toronto and Seattle! Spots in Las Vegas and Los Angeles still open also. These workshops are unique experiences and make a great gift to the hard-to-buy-for artist in your life. More info here: www.tomrichmond.com/workshops/
Sketch o'the Week- Cristin Milioti!
I was on vacation last week in Orlando with no access to a scanner, so I did my SotW entirely digitally. Here’s Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter from “The Silence of the Lambs”.

Another "Famous Movie Moment" Sketch o'the Week: Brad Pitt! www.tomrichmond.com/sketch-othe-...
Monday MADness! Each week I post a look back at my work for MAD Magazine on my blog, including the complete feature, process stuff like pencils roughs, and backstory. This week we look at a MAD mashup of "Mary Poppins Returns" and politics from MAD #6! www.tomrichmond.com/madness-132-...
