In honor of our visit this week to London, here is England’s future king, Charles, Prince of Wales. We will be visiting Windsor castle today with friend and fellow caricaturist Steve Hearn. I’ll say hi to Chuck if I see him. READ MORE
The International Society of Caricaturist Artists does a daily sketch challenge on thier private forum where they pick a celebrity who’s birthday is that day, and a bunch of artists do a caricature of him or her. Lots of fun and some great sketches. I wish I had time to participate more, but alas that’s impossible. Yesterday as I was searching for a subject for the “Sketch o’the Week” I checked into the ISCA forum and found April 7th’s birthday target was the great film director Francis Ford Coppola, so I thought for once I’d participate via my weekly sketch. So here is my stab… READ MORE
Continuing the theme of 80’s rock stars I liked as a kid as they look today, here’s a sketch of everyone’s favorite heavy metal elf, Ronnie James Dio. Dio had (still has, I think) this amazingly powerful voice that looked downright bizarre coming out of a 5’4″ slip of a guy who must have weighed barely 100 lbs. He gained stardom as the lead singer of Rainbow, did two studio and one live albums with Black Sabbath after Ozzy left, then headlined his own band Dio. I still love the Sabbath albums. In case you haven’t noticed, I was a serious metal head in high… READ MORE
This week’s sketch is of another old musical favorite of mine from my high school days… former “Black Sabbath” frontman Ozzy Osbourne. READ MORE
I came across a recent picture of one of my favorite musicians from back in high school in an entertainment magazine the other day. The guy doesn’t look much different than he did in the 80’s, but I would have said he looked 25 years older than he was twenty five years ago… so maybe he just caught up to his features. I couldn’t resist drawing Geddy Lee, bassist and lead singer of Rush. I forgot to mention that Rush is still one of my favorite bands. Moving Pictures is one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and I have seen them in… READ MORE
This week’s sketch is of former Tonight Show host Jay Leno. I figured since I did Letterman last week I’d do Leno this week, then maybe I’ll keep to the theme with other late night talk show hosts. Or not… READ MORE
A quick one of late night talk show veteran David Letterman. I confess while I used to watch Letterman a lot I haven’t seen him in years. I don’t watch any late night TV, actually. However I did enjoy this video list of the top ten bizarre Letterman guest appearances from TIME.com, spawned by the recent Joaquin Phoenix debacle. I remember watching the the Crispin Glover one the night it aired. READ MORE
A very quick (I’m talking 10 minute) study of somebody I’d better get used to doing caricatures of…¬¨‚Ć U.S. President Barack Obama. READ MORE
