Sketch o’the Week- Penn & Teller!

This week’s SotW is of the magical comedy duo Penn & Teller! The original sketch of this is available in my Studio Store!

I’ve actually met Teller. He is a friend of fellow caricaturist and the editor of my “The Mad Art of Caricature” book Celestia Ward. I was at her wedding years ago in Las Vegas and Teller was also in attendance. I chatted with him briefly and yes, he does talk.

A subscriber of my “Ink Stained Wretch” newsletter wrote me after I shared this in a recent edition to tell me he saw Penn & Teller in one of their first appearances together at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival back in the 1970s. The Minnesota Ren Fest is one of the best in the country, and I’ve been many, many times. Not back in the 70’d though. It was cool to hear these two got their start there.
