This week’s SotW subject is one of my all-time favorite directors, Quentin Tarantino. I remember being blown away by “Pulp Fiction” when I first saw it in a theater in St. Louis with a bunch of my Six Flags caricature crew in 1994. I had never seen a movie like that before. I’ve never missed seeing any of his films, and they never disappoint. BTW as usual the original is for sale in the Studio Store. READ MORE

This was actually done as an example for the wall at one of my theme caricature booths, so it is an example of my “live” caricature style. 4B pencil and freehand airbrush. READ MORE

I’m still really swamped trying to play catch up after my European workshop tour, so not time for a real SotW this week. As everybody seemed to enjoy last week’s post of one of the woram up drawings we sis in my workshop in Switzerland, I thought I’d post one of the ones we did from the London Workshop. Again, these are warm ups we do before we start class on the second day, and I look up subjects that might have some relevancy to the location of the workshop. One of the ones we did in London was this one of Keira Knightely. I… READ MORE
