Caricature of musician, Rodrigo Amarante. Love it when I tumble down a musical rabbit hole that leads to a brilliant new discovery: The Strokes➡Little Joy➡Rodrigo Amarante➡Los Hermanos!

Ludwig Wittgenstein Caricature

Caricature of deep thinking dude, Ludwig Wittgenstein. Unlike most philosophers—and most people—he really got out there and lived. Somehow, while fighting as an officer at the front line in the First World War and getting heavily decorated for exceptional heroism, he managed to find time to scribble what was to become one of his seminal works, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Talk about time management!

Amedeo Modigliani

Not really a caricature this, more a straight representation of the great artist Amedeo Modigliani. It wasn't drawn from a single image but is a composite using a few different source images as pointers—which, incidentally, is how I usually go about creating my caricatures.

Stephen Is Innocent!

Er, well, he's not, but the law is an ass. Today's absurd news made me want to caricature the great man Stephen Fry again.

He's 'just your average horny little devil', apparently...

John Hurt: Stage 1

I called this post 'Stage 1' as I'd like to develop it at some point to a more involved piece but at present I'm not sure which way to go. Maybe a black and white hatched drawing or a highly rendered colour version—not sure. Going to sit on it for now...
