This week’s SotW is a return to my “Classic Rock” series with a caricature of the original lead singer of AC/DC, Bon Scott! (yes, I know AC/DC had at least one lead singer before Bon, but Bon was on their first album “High Voltage”… so there!) I was a big metalhead in high school. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath… those were the type of bands I listen to. AC/DC was another big one, and while Brian Johnson was the lead singer about the time I got into the band, earlier albums featuring Bon Scott are still some of my favorite AC/DC disks. Scott died… READ MORE

Well, actually it’s David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust persona, complete with screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo, like some cat from Japan. He played guitar. READ MORE

Here’s my sketch of music legend Bo Diddley. Original available in the Studio Store as usual. Incidentally next Wednesday is March 17th, and will mark the one year anniversary of “The Daily Coronacature”!It’s hard to beleive, but I started it on March 17th, 2020. I will pick the subject that day, but that will be the last day I do that. It’s been a fun run but it’s time for me to step back completely. I’ll still be doing my “Sketch o’the Week” every Wednesday, but I will no longer be concerned about making sure the subject isn’t one that’s already been picked as a… READ MORE

Here’s my sketch of the immortal Tina Turner, which I guess is not just for “The Daily Coronacature” or a “Sketch o’the Week”, but part of my “Classic Rock” series also… a three-fer! Original sketch is available in the Studio Store as usual. This drawing is a good example of how a subject’s “physicality” can be an important part of their caricature. Tina of course has the massive hair, squinty eyes, big cheeks, etc, but she’s as much known for her dancing/poses and long legs when she performs. In fact, she has wide hips and kind of a thick waist that makes her torso seem… READ MORE

This week’s sketch is of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, one of caricaturdom’s favorite subjects (original available in the Studio Store). I did a quick version of Tyler from the same photo reference for my inking demo at my workshop in Las Vegas this past weekend, and I liked the expression enough to give it another shot in my Sketch o’the Week. Most artists draw Tyler with his mouth open screaming into the mic. READ MORE
