Day 8 of Caricature Resolution calls for a caricature of: LEONARD NIMOY As discussed previously, just drawing the easily-recognized famous role of an actor, rather than just relying on the resemblance to the actor themselves may be taking the easy way out, but I really had to draw Nimoy as […]

Day 7 of Caricature Resolution calls for: CARRIE FISHER A lot of these celebrity subjects in the list suggest a certain iconic role they are best known for, visually, anyway. Yesterday’s Heath Ledge and the Joker, for instance. I stayed away from the impetus to do that visually striking character both […]
Day 5 of Caricature Resolution 2018 calls for actor/comedian: ROBIN WILLIAMS In case you were wondering, there is a theme to these caricature choices: they are all dead celebrities. This time, the late, great Robin Williams, who annoyed me as a standup/talk show guest, but who I adored as an […]

Happy New Year! 2018 brings a new month-long art challenge: Caricature Resolution 2018. This year’s theme is celebrities that are no longer with us, having past away either recently or not so much. Day one’s challenge is: FREDDIE MERCURY Being a huge QUEEN fan, I especially enjoyed drawing their iconic […]
I had the pleasure of joining a Black Mountain family’s (with members arriving from all parts) annual tradition of getting together for art, and make-your- own-pizza on the day after Thanksgiving. I drew caricatures while the others created poured art paintings and I even got to make my own pizza […]
This weekend I was pleased to be hired to provide caricatures for a wedding reception held in beautiful Gatlinburg, TN. This time I was able to get a few photos of some of the guests I drew:
Drawlloween 2017 – Day 27 is: FRANKEN FRIDAY Probably not the most original way to go, but I had to put former SNL writer/performer/producer and current US Senator, Al Franken as the Frankenstein monster for this prompt.
