Bob Dylan

A short while back I began doing all my "inking" in Adobe Illustrator, and I have to say I've been really pleased with the results. Here's my rendition of Dylan.

You can't please 'em all

I was recently commissioned to do a digital caricature for a guy who came across my work online. He sent me a bunch of photos of himself that were all shadowy and atmospheric and generally designed to make him look as emo as humanly possible. So I went ahead and did the caricature and, surprise, surprise, he came back and told me he thought my drawing was too dark and scary. Although I wasn't getting paid much for the job, I went ahead and gave it one more crack--which is not shown here--softening him up and making him look about as innocent as choirboy. Guess the client didn't like that one either, because repeated attempts to contact him for payment have come back with no response. Despite that, I have to admit, I rather like my first try, and that's why I'm sharing it here with you kind folks.

Radiohead On Rainbows

Here is a caricature I did of the band. I started it back in November before I could find any Album artwork on iTunes. Then I sat on it for a long time, finally I decided to finish it.

Jamie Tucker

Denzel

Although the reviews haven't been too good, plan on seeing "American Gangster" (always loved Ridley Scott films) so I attemped a caricature of Mr. Washington.

...I also want to congratulate fellow SFG'er Alberto Cerritino for his terrific profile piece in the 2007 Communication Arts Design Annual!!

PYBOT: Christina Ricci

Here's a very quick marker drawing I did of Christina Ricci. I tried to do this as fast as I could with no pre-sketching. About fifteen minutes with a Copic marker and some gritted teeth. This harkens back to my days working street art fairs cranking out caricatures for the masses.

SFG: Draw Me

Heeeeerrre's . . . Jeff! This took about 20 minutes, in Prismacolor pencil (my current favorite sketching tool of choice).

WIP: Why I don't paint

I started messing around in Photoshop this evening painting a sketch of the pop star Pink I posted here earlier. I'm normally a vector guy, so I'd be really curious to hear any thoughts from some painters out there on my progress (or lack thereof).

Thanks in advance.

SFG: Pink

Here's a pencil sketch I did last night of the pop star Pink. I think this shows the influence the great caricature artists Jan Obdebeeck and Mort Drucker have on me.

SFG: Adrian Brody sketch

One more Prismacolor sketch. This one's a personal favorite.

SFG: Clint Eastwood sketch

Another Prismacolor caricature. This one took about twenty minutes. I like this one fairly well, but I think I should have made Clint even more gaunt than this.

SFG: Jennifer Garner sketch

Hi there. I think I posted these before, but they fit the weekly challenge so well I couldn't resist posting them again. Here's a vector caricature of Jennifer Garner I did and the Prismacolor sketch that spawned it.

Lost in Translation

My "Post Something Monday" submission just so happens to be my "Lost vs. Heroes" submission as well. I'm a big fan of both shows, but if I had to choose between the two I'd pick Lost any day. Which leads me to the inspiration for this particular illustration. Is it just me, or has anyone else ever noticed how much Hurley's head looks just like the island?

Here's Hilary

Here's Hilary Clinton, part of my personal President's Day challenge. She's also on my website.
