Tom Richmond (illustrator)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Richmond (born 1966) is a freelance humorous illustrator, cartoonist and caricaturist whose work has appeared in many national and international publications since 1990.
Some of his earliest publication work was for the comic book Married... with Children for NOW Comics, and the mini-series The Coneheads for Marvel Comics in the early 1990s. Specializing in caricature, he began doing editorial illustrations for magazines, art for advertising and CD-ROM graphics in 1992. In the late 1990s he had a brief stint at Cracked magazine before beginning to work for MAD Magazine in 2000. Now a major contributor to MAD, Richmond's caricatures and cartoons illustrate many of MAD's trademark movie and TV parodies. He was one of the first illustrators to do his MAD parodies in full color, coinciding with MAD's switch to a color format in 2001. In addition to MAD, Richmond continues to do freelance illustration for a variety of publications and advertising clients.
Richmond has been honored with several awards, including "Caricaturist of the Year" twice, in 1998 and 1999 by the National Caricaturist Network and with a divisional Reuben award for Advertising Art in 2003 from the National Cartoonists Society.
On August 27, 2006, he appeared in the comic strip Pearls Before Swine.
