About once a week, some blossoming cartoonist writes to ask me about art supplies. Seeing as how I last purchased art supplies in the eighties, I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. One right guy would be Tom Richmond, who does such splendid work for MAD Magazine. In this post, he tells of what he uses…and his whole blog is a trove of tips for those who wish to make money drawing silly pictures.
While I'm on the subject of Tom: That Sergio guy ain't the only one of The Usual Gang of Idiots whose work is hanging in a museum someplace. A show of Tom's spot-on caricatures is currently festooning the walls of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, which I believe is located in, uh, Pittsburgh. If you too are located in Pittsburgh or anywhere near it, you might want to drop by. And believe it or not, Sergio will be drawing on the walls of the Men's Room there, too.
