Some requests I get are so crazy good I need to check they’re not a scam.

I got asked to draw dogs in the park all day on Friday.

That’s it. That’s the whole gig: Come and draw dogs and we’ll pay you money. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I gladly accepted the offer, grabbed my markers and parked myself under a tree by the Madison Square Park dog run, with a view of the Flatiron building.

What follows are some snaps from all of the good boys and good girls I scribbled with their owners.

🐶 Attention: If you have a dog or know someone who does, I’d love you to order my new book! “You’re Not A Real Dog Owner Until…”

Get a sketch of your dog in the book!

I go to draw a pup called Dottie, with her two best friends who happened to also be baby dragons with wings.

Yes, she has an instagram. Crazy, I know!

Seriously though, how great is Dottie?

I could see Christmas card art forming in real time.

It’s ok, she liked it.

To scale:

The goodest of boys.

Wookiees welcome!

Luckily for me, I’ve had plenty of practice in the studio with this one…

DMA#12: My favourite political cartoonist joins me to bring cogence to the endless insanity, and why now is not the time to check out of the news.

I hid these cards around New York and got the weirdest emails back.
How a real-world experiment to 'find my rat people' resulted in some of the craziest responses from Real New Yorkers.

Silencing the Court Jesters.
10 years ago, cartoonists were murdered for drawing offensive things. Things have not been getting better since.
