ST. BONO OF HEWSON

Although I don't idolise this man quite as much as I used to (i.e. when I was in my teens), I still have a lot of respect for him and I'm really looking forward to the new U2 album.
I know this ain't quite what you'd call a caricature but I just thought it would be interesting to see if I could capture some sort of likeness more than anything. He's a tricky one......

Paul Giamatti


Yea, you know who he is.  Paul Giamatti is not quite a household name, but he's been in a ton of movies you may have seen.  Most known for his roles in Lady in the Water, Sideways, American Splendor, and the most recent John Adams HBO series.  You may also remember him as the orangutan in Planet of the Apes, or as "Pig Vomit" in Howard Stern's Private Parts.  One of my favorite B List celeberties.

TOM WAITS SKETCH

Been playing quote a lot of this guy lately and forgot just how brilliant he is. 'Closing Time' is one of my all time favorite albums.
It inspired me to do this sketch in Photoshop.

LARRY KING

I started this a while before Christmas and guess I just plain forgot to post it!
Not sure why I picked Larry King as a subject and I definitely didn't plan for it to be so detailed but I liked the direction it was going and I just closed my eyes and went with it.
The bit about closing my eyes is a lie.

BLACKADDER PART II

Decided to give this one another crack. I think I've captured more of a likeness with this attempt.....

BLACKADDER RIDES AGAIN!!

To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the sit-com Blackadder, the BBC screened a documemtary, looking back at the history of the show featuring interviews with members of the cast.
It reminded me just how special and side-splittingly funny this programme was and also how it will never, ever be bettered.
Here is a quick sketch of my all time favorite sit-com character (George Constanza is a close second!), Captain Edmund Blackadder from the fourth series 'Blackadder Goes Forth'.
All four series are absolute legendary works of genius, as are Rowan Atkinson's performances. Sadly, he went down in my estimation slightly when he went on to create the incredibly irritating Mr. Bean.

Pleasantville

I'll do some crazy stuff tomorrow, how's that sound?
