Here’s my take on Salvador Dali. Between his “10 minutes after 10” mustache, the buggy eyes and his mugging for the camera, he’s a lot of fun to draw. READ MORE
Here’s my caricature of punk rock icon Patti Smith for both my SotW and Tom’s Daily Coronacature. As usual, the original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
Here’s my take on Marlon Brando for both my SotW and Tom’s Daily Coronacature. This is another good example of doing a caricature of a character as much as of the actor. Brando would often transform himself in roles to the point of being almost unrecognizable as himself. In “The Godfather” this was particularly true. The make-up played a part but it was the way he spoke, held his head with the heavy jowls jutting forward, had the sleepy-lidded eyes, that created the “presence” of Don Corleone.

Back to my “Classic Rock Caricature” series, this week featuring “The Velvet Underground” frontman and solo artist legend Lou Reed! As usual, the original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE

I did a small “remark” head of this caricature of Christopher Reeve the other day for someone who ordered a copy of my Superman print from my website, and I kind of liked how it turned out so I did a bigger one for the SotW. As usual, the original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
I’m under the gun with several projects right now so I’m copping out of a new Sketch o’the Week today and posting this instead. It’s is an older sketch I colorized and used in the background of the MAD parody of the show “Mike and Molly” back in MAD number something-or-other. A young William Shatner was notoriously hard to caricature but the more… uh… mature Shatner is a little easier subject. READ MORE
