America’s National Cartoonists Society has released its nominees for the 2024 Divisional Awards as part of the 78th Annual NCS Reuben Awards. Among them is Tom Richmond, nominated for “Book Illustration”, co-creator of CLAPTRAP, a superb book of movie parodies published in partnership with fellow by MAD magazine stalwart, Desmond Devlin.
“A huge honour!” says Tom, who is a regular guest at the…
Definitely struggled for my first time. I did a bit of research before going in to sketching, but I wanted to dive right in.
As I was drawing, I was already noticing how I was thinking too much about the final outcome. The intention for this session was to PRACTICE not get it PERFECT the first time.
It's a learning process, and what I learned this go around is that I have to take the time to really look, even though I see. Capturing likeness was somewhat successful in these but exaggeration is nowhere to be found.
My style is already somewhat cartoony on the realistic side, but I want to let loose a little and really push my shapes for the next session!
Zendaya and Tom Holland were spotted walking her dog Noon around London's leafy Richmond as he enjoyed some downtime in between Romeo & Juliet performances
Entertainment Weekly did a feature on Roland Emmerich's upcoming series THOSE ABOUT TO DIE and pictured was Moe Hashim as Kwame.
Of course AFC Richmond and AFC Richmond adjacent (namely Cristo Fernandez's sister Paloma and James Lance's wife Kate Quilton) wouldn't let this go unacknowledged.
News to me was that Moe and Joe Street (Paul Reynolds)
were in Jeremy's music video.

Joe, as well as being a writer and director, has been Ryan Reynold's stand-in for several films. And with all the posting of DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE he does, I assume he's doubling for Reynolds in it, as well or he's just keen about the film.
+ some random and unfounded assumptions about them. Listed for no other reason than that I wanted to.
5. Tom O’Brien
Tom, your kink is not my kink, but you’re unembarrassed about being a freak and I respect that. Also, seems you took being replaced by Zoreaux/Van Damme/Zorro as goalkeeper in your stride. Nothing about you make sense to me, and I dig that.
4. Robbie Roberts.
All right, this is shallow as fuck (then again, they’re background characters, not like I have a whole lot of deep stuff to go on), but I just think he looks really hot at the City game in 3x11.
Look at his face! This man wants it. This man is ready. This man can pull off bright pink in a way Jamie would kill for (if he had the brains to understand that he doesn’t wear it as well as Robbie does). Good thing our favourite Tartt is substituted after scoring that goal, because my boy Robbie deserves to play more. (Yes, I could have edited the pic to leave Jamie out. I stand by my choices.)
Also, look at him tapping Jamie’s shoulder as he runs past to take his place! Never noticed before, LOVE it. (Jamie, it seems, does not love it, but he’s a cranky baby who hurt his ankle, so we must forgive him.)
3. Declan Cockburn
Questionable opinions regarding leaked nudes aside, this man is a gentle giant to me. He’s not very bright, perhaps (but this is Richmond AFC, a team of himbos, so who is), and doesn’t always catch the nuances but is happy enough to go along with most of whatever. A quietly caring friend. Good in a brawl. Hums while he cooks. Looks nifty sporting an earring. Probably has a wife and several small children.
(I resent the accusation that my favourite players are mostly players who are nice to Jamie. Even though that accusation is one hundred percent true.)
2. Jeff Goodman
Listen. Listen. Jeff is probably a bit of an asshole (man’s just got that look, you know; also see my next point), BUT just like me he is genuinely fond of Jamie even when Jamie is a prick, so yeah. We’re two peas in a pod, Jeff and I. The lack of Jeff in fic is criminal (and I count myself amongst the guilty ones: we need to step it the hell up, fam). What is this silly Jamie fanboy up to in his spare time? Does his girlfriend get tired of him talking about his fucking colleague all the time? Is he bitter about Jamie hanging out so much with Sam and Dani these days? Does he have a favourite colour? A dish he likes to cook? What’s going on in that head of yours, Jeff? Inquiring minds want to know.
1. Sasha Kukoč
My darling. My baby. My man of the glorious, glorious hair and interesting looks! Yeah, I don’t know. Just. He’s so dainty and seems really cool and level-headed in a way that goes way beyond his years and. I am inexplicably very, very fond of Sasha, all right? Whenever I see him chilling in the background my heart does a little dance. Best background Richmond AFC player because of reasons unknown. I have spoken.
Damn right, he’s prettier than you. He could teach you, but he’d have to charge.
