Hi Tom, I grew up reading "MAD", and absolutely love the artwork. Do you have a book published on your techniques?

Was it all done with computer ? or just the coloring part.

I worked for Tom back in '99 at Six Flags St. Louis airbrushing T-shirts. He, "Chard", and Kent Lind were very good to me and it was a pleasure working for them.
