Tom Richmond
MAD Magazine illustrator
Since 2000, Tom is pleased to be considered one of the Usual Gang of Idiots at MAD magazine. You can see his movie/TV parodies and feature article illustrations in almost every issue of MAD. He was the first illustrator in the modern (non-comic book) era to do these parodies in full color, coinciding with MAD's switch to a color format in 2001.
He's a member of the National Cartoonists Society (NCS) and the International Society of Caricaturists (ISCA). In addition to MAD, some of his clients include Scholastic, AOL Digital, the Minnesota Twins, National Geographic World and many others.
Tom contributed caricature illustrations for the 2008 film Super Capers (opening credit and flashback animations).
Tom has been honored with Caricaturist of the Year Awards in 1998 and 1999 by the National Caricaturist Network and divisional Reuben Awards for Advertising Art in 2003, 2006 and 2007 from the National Cartoonists Society.
He continues to do freelance art in a studio in his home in Burnsville, Minnesota, where he lives with his family. Tom loves all things “Batman” and is a self-proclaimed comic book geek. He is also an amateur bodybuilder, partly for the exercise but mostly because “cartoonists, Batman fans and comic book geeks get beat up a lot” and large biceps are a good deterrent for that.
