The very…. uh… original Angelina Jolie: Angelina is far too thin, with sinewy, bony arms and weirdly bulging joints. She seems to have these huge, flappy, Gollum hands that are all knots and veins that hang at the ends of her arms. Her hands appear so big and heavy that they weigh down her ultra-thin arms as if she can’t lift them. Eat a sandwich, woman. By the way, I’ve decided Sundays are a day off for Sketch O’The Day.

A quick figure study out of an old copy of Sports Illustrated For a while there I was getting a lot of the sports related artwork in MAD, and I did a lot of sports art for various other clients like the Minnesota Twins, the San Fransisco Giants and a few others.
