I spent most of yesterday directing a cartoon voice session. In the above pic, I'm the tall guy who's looking worried because he knows how much else we had left to record at that moment. The voice actors are, left to right, Gregg Berger, Frank Welker, Audrey Wasilewski and Jason Marsden. Frank, by the way, does the best Donald Trump impression I've ever heard…and that's pretty awesome considering how few people there now are on this planet who don't do a Donald Trump impression. I think it's down to me and the lady at the place I take my dry cleaning.
Speaking of pictures of me: At Comic-Con, Tom Richmond presented me with a caricature he did of me…and at the con, he even knocked out a quick (and uncanny) likeness of my lovely friend Amber. The man is, of course, the best practitioner of this art form working today, as is evident every time you pick up MAD magazine. He also, unlike other experts in this field, teaches the art and writes books about it, and I've heard more than a few professional cartoonists remark that Tom is the best tutor of this specialized skill.
There are a lot of amazing artists who simply cannot explain what they do. It just comes out of them and that's fine. I'm impressed by Tom's work and also by the fact that he really, really understands what he does for a living. If you'd like to do that — for a living or just to show off for your friends — grab up Tom's books and maybe even consider signing up for his in-person seminars. Sometimes, those who "can do" teach.
