June 28th, 2009

That’s why I’m drawing just now.
Just because.

Bill O’Reilly

April 9th, 2009

Not a job. But just for practice, I decided to draw Bill O’Reilly Hula-Dancing.
Because I saw him on tv, and I was real impressed with his graceful hands.
And I could imagine him hula’ing ’still waters’ for ‘take it easy, now….’

I worked in Colored Pencil on Toned Paper.
Also changed the background to White in PhotoShop.
It’s most interesting, how I did not change any of the Colors on the 2 copies - It’s most interesting that the shirt looks so much duller on the white background:

Dom DeLouise

I recently made some more drawings for the East Coast Brown Derby
Restaurant. Some of their requests are more famous than others.
In this batch, I recognized Dom DeLouise.

They like the Caricatures to be rather tame - more like the old-style
Caricatures. So this is what I drew - along with the Reference Photos
that they provided for me:

Analyze That

March 19th, 2009

I am absolutely smitten. Can’t stop.

Finally relaxing after a long day or just doing my Artwork,
I started watching the movie ‘Analyze That’.
Had to stop to draw a character from the movie.
(Played by the actor Joe Viterelli)
Then, I drew it again. Had to exaggerate it some more:

I’m really in the mood to have a lot of
Studio Caricature commissions.
