Sketch O’The Week

Click image for a closer look… Here’s a sketch I’ve been meaning to do for some time- Kate Gosselin and her little clan of money makers (Jon has abandoned them… well HER at any rate… in the caricature and in real life). The entire “Jon and Kate Plus 8” tabloid saga is so sickening that it’s become beyond sad. It’s the perfect example of how money and fame often changes people for the worse. I have no sympathy at all for the parents, as they have made their bed and at any time could have just stopped it all and gone back to focusing their… READ MORE

Once again, late but better than not at all. This is a sketch for a possible park sample of the late Michael Jackson. I decided to do one based on his look at a time when he wasn’t a punchline and was still more famous for his music than for his bizarre, and possibly criminal, behavior. READ MORE

Better late than never today… As promised, this sketch is a special one related to the trip to Colombia I have been describing this week. I was honored to get to meet one of the best caricature illustrators working today while I was in Cali. His name is Jorge Restrepo, and his work belongs in the same league as illustrators like Ismeal Roldan, Jan Op de Beeck, Hermann Mejia and even Sebastian Kr?¬?ger. Truly incredible caricature art. He was very gracious and gave me a fantastic signed copy of his book, which I have been studying intently. Restrepo (he goes by that name, rather than… READ MORE

I’m incredibly swamped with all the stuff I didn’t do when I was in Colombia, so I have to cop out of the “sketch o’the week” this week. Instead here are a couple of the pencil sketches from the Bo Confidential book I shamelessly plugged yesterday. I’ll leave you to figure out who the caricatures are of. READ MORE

This week’s sketch is a quick one of the new “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien. Not much too it, just a straightforward basic study. Conan has a face that is ripe for really going after with exaggeration… I want to do a better one at a later date. The straight on pose is boring. I have yet to see Conan on “The Tonight Show”, but that is hardly surprising as I have watched only¬¨‚Ć handful of minutes of that show since Johnny Carson left, and those were because I was brushing my teeth after the news and couldn’t reach the remote to either turn the… READ MORE

This week’s victim is tabloid queen and “why is this person a celebrity?” poster child Tori Spelling. Tori is having a little trouble with her breast impants these days… some rapid weight loss has caused them to migrate into new positions, kind of like the earth’s tectonic plates. The scan is a little rough as I used a borrowed scanner I was not familiar with since I am currently on the road in Massachusetts visiting my theme park operations at Six Flags New England. In fact this sketch was drawn sitting in one of my caricature booths this morning. READ MORE

Another quick one for the “Sketch o’the Week” in deference to my crazy schedule. This week I picked another actor’s face from an old entertainment magazine… a younger Benjamin Bratt. READ MORE

I am extremely busy right now and the “sketch o’the week” posts for the next few weeks may be well short of ambitious. This week’s subject is actor Ben Affleck, a quick and loose study from a very old entertainment magazine I came across in the studio. READ MORE
