Clint Eastwood - A Caricature Study

Clint Eastwood - A Caricature Study

This is a recent caricature study of Clint Eastwood, one of my all time favorite actors and arguably the baddest cowboy in the history of the film industry. Gotta love those crusty features! I'm in the process of negotiating a contract for several jobs with another big name you may have heard of, Hulk Hogan. The project sounds like a lot of fun and if all works out, you'll be seeing some fun new work featuring "The Hulk". Stay tuned!!

Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead - A Tribute

This is a manipulated caricature of Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead for a new client. Below are a detail of Lemmy’s face only as well as the original source image. 

Ian Fraser Kilmister (24 December 1945 – 28 December 2015), better known as Lemmy, was an English musician, singer, and songwriter who founded and fronted the rock band Motörhead. His music was one of the foundations of the heavy metal genre. He was known for his appearance (including his friendly mutton chops), his distinctive gravelly voice and distinctive bass playing style. Alongside his music career, he also had many minor roles in film and television.

A small sample from the man!

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Marijuana

Attorney General Jeff Sessions "on" Marijuana

This is a caricature spoof on Attorney General Jeff (Sesh) Sessions and his take on... or against the legalization of marijuana. Below are some of his extreme views on the subject:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently declared that marijuana—a drug on which no person has ever overdosed—was nearly as dangerous as heroin, a drug that killed 12,989 Americans in a single year. 

"I reject the idea that America will be a better place if marijuana is sold in every corner store. And I am astonished to hear people suggest that we can solve our heroin crisis by legalizing marijuana—so people can trade one life-wrecking dependency for another that’s only slightly less awful," Sessions said while speaking with law enforcement officers Wednesday. "Our nation needs to say clearly once again that using drugs will destroy your life."

But that quote shouldn't come as a surprise, since the former Alabama senator has long been a hard-line anti-pot crusader.

Here are five other things he's said about marijuana over the years.

1. On what he thought of the KKK in the '80s in comments he later insisted were delivered jokingly...

"OK until I found out they smoked pot.”

2. On the drug being a danger…

"We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized, it ought not to be minimized, that it's in fact a very real danger."

3. On Obama's more lax approach to pot enforcement and his admiration for "Just Say No”…

"I think one of [Obama's] great failures, it's obvious to me, is his lax treatment in comments on marijuana... It reverses 20 years almost of hostility to drugs that began really when Nancy Reagan started 'Just Say No.'"

4. More on Obama and pot…

"You can't have the President of the United States of America talking about marijuana like it is no different than taking a drink… It is different… It is already causing a disturbance in the states that have made it legal."

5. On the kinds of folks who smoke weed…

"Good people don't smoke marijuana."

The Vatican City visits my Blog

Today, I received a blog visit from the Vatican City in Rome. Maybe it was the Pope, who knows? There are only 195 officially recognized nations in the world today but this was the 215th flag to register on my blog widget. I'm working on a couple of new caricatures. I'll be posting them in the coming days.
