Bill Cosby and Signourey Weaver

My recent entries into Caricaturama. Signourey is a sort of work in progress, will see how much time I have inbetween renovating the house this weekend! Check my rugby caricatures for some speed drawing video clips.

Courtney Love, Alan Rickman and Jason Segel

Here's my latest offerings to the Caricaturama Facebook group. I'm pleased with the style I'm pursuing but my likenesses are starting to slide a little. I'll have to go back to basics for my next one.

Caleb Followill!!! Get back in your treehouse!!!!

I really love drawing beards. Here are a couple of my favourite bearded singers. Caleb Followill and his KoL brothers seem to attract a lot of mixed press, but whatever goes on back stage can't detract from the fact that he's got a cracking Joe Cocker-esque/ Kenny Roger-renian kind of voice. And he certainly can't do anything wrong in the eyes of my wife!!!

Another furry faced warbler I admire is Guy Garvey of Elbow. Not only does he have a luscious set of lilting larnyx but he's also quite a jovial jockey of the discs - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072q60. Apart from playing an ecletic mix of tunes from past, present and future his irreverent quips between songs often have me giggling like a naughty ninety year old nanna who has just heard a swear. Indeed I've not chuckled as much at/with a radio personality since Dave Lee Travis donned his synthetic all-in-one tiger suit and snarled his way through the title role of Macbeth. The hairy cornflake.

Apologies to Guy for making him look a little too like the love child of Henry VIII and Captain Pugwash! I'll try put in a dash of Chuck Norris and Orson Welles when I crack open my crayons and colour this in.

Stephen King, Gary Sinise, a cat, a sheep and a bear!

Some recent entries from Caricaturama in all there full size glory!

And also some quick animal sketches I've been working on for some whimsical educational resource project that floats around the recesses of my brain!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

I recently watched Fight Club again (great movie) which got me thinking about another Brad Pitt caricature. Then I realised that over the years I've already done several. It's very revealing to look back over work from previous years, particularly of one person, and see the change and development in style. So in chronological order . . .

And wherever Brad goes Angelina is sure to be checking up on his movements!

Daniel Day Lewis

My latest Caricaturama entry Daniel Day Lewis. Enjoyed working from a reference pic (a still from the film I'd wager) which gave a different perspective than a standard passport style photograph. Also added a background, which I usually don't make the time for. Think I'll make more of an effort in the future though as the background can add so much more to the image.

Rhys Darby, Jermaine Clement and Brett mcKenzie

Rhys Darby's birthday the other day apparently. Went to see a gig of his about a year or so ago and hurled this on stage at him.

Whilst I'm on about Kiwi comedians here's some old sketches I did of Jermaine Clement and Brett McKenzie, the colour one is a work in progress.
