Excuse Me!

SVA is currently using an image of mine in their ad campaign for the fall Continuing Education program that they're running in The Comics Journal. Here are screen shots with the various versions.

And here's the original cartoon.

Speaking of, classes are enrolling now:

Figure Drawing for Cartoonists on Wednesdays, Cartooning Basics on Thursdays, and Inking Comics on Fridays.

Time to sign up. Tell your posse.
