NIGAOE EXPO

I’m super honored to have my drawing of the cast of Wednesday as part of the Nigaoe Expo exhibit currently on display at the base of Tokyo Skytree Tower in Japan. Nigaoe (似顔絵) refers to Japanese caricatures or portraits. The exhibit features work from 10 award-winning international artists, highlighting some of the world’s top leaders and entertainers through caricature. I’m one of three artists representing the United States.

Thank you so much to Kage Nakanishi and the Japan Portrait Artists Association for curating this event and having my artwork as a part of it!


KOSCA Caricature Convention 2026

Last week marked the 10th annual KOSCA Caricature Convention, hosted by the Korean Society of Caricature Artists in Seoul. The week was a vibrant celebration of international talent and artistic exchange. The event featured two speakers: 2025 Golden Nosey winner Seulki Ahn and multiple award-winning ISCA Board Member Kelly O’Brien. One hundred artists from around the world competed, representing Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Mongolia, Germany, Russia, and the United States. After a Likeness Competition, a Live Caricature Tournament and three full days of drawing, artists cast their votes and awards were presented. A huge congratulations to all of the winners and especially to this year’s Artist of the Year, Masashi Higashitani of Japan!

Below was my wall of drawings from this year’s KOSCA.

Interview – behind the big head

I had a blast doing an interview all about caricature with Alex Spalding for “Behind the Big Head”!

Listen to me talk about the history of International Society of Caricature Artists*, share some of my studio work, talk caricature theory and give some tips for those just beginning in their caricature journey.

*Note a small correction/clarification to my ISCA history lesson: The National Caricaturist Network began in 1989 and the first conference was in 1991. In 2009, ISCA officially changed its name from the National Caricaturist Network to the International Society of Caricature Artists.
