JOHNNY CASH

After seeing this brilliant illustration by English artist Russ Cook, it inspired me to do a very quick sketch of the man in black.

Update: 22nd Feb 2010
Only a slight update, but an update nonetheless........

ARNOLD SCHWARZA-WHAT'S-HIS-FACE

Been spending way too long on this one, playing around with a few ideas but keep hitting that proverbial brick wall.......

JASON SEILER

I must be suffering from digital overload or something because I had an irresistible urge do start doing some pencil sketches again.
This is Jason Seiler, the unbelievably talented American artist and one of the main reasons I continue to draw caricatures.


Update: 11th Feb 2010
And just when I thought I'd give digital a rest........I just can't help myself!!!

RICKY GERVAIS

This is my second attempt at Mr Gervais. Looking back now, I'm not too happy with my original effort and have made numerous other attempts to capture him but he's a bit of a tricky one.
I think I've come a bit closer to a likeness with this one though.

ALEX FERGUSON

It's incredible to think that this guy has managed Man Ure for the last 24 years.....come on Fergie, give someone else a go!! Someone really rubbish at being a manager for instance...

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

I'm not usually one for sweeping statements but here it goes: this guy, in my opinion at least, is probably the best singer/songwriter in the world today. End of sweeping statement......

MAXI

Here's a rather hastily done sketch of Liverpool's latest signing (I'm sure he's thinking 'what have I done?' after yesterday's debacle against Stoke. Stoke!!!), Maxi Rodriguez.
Next year lads......next year.....

VAN DER SAAAAAAAAAR

'AAAH......JUICY FRUIT'

Was watching this movie the other night and was reminded just how special it is.
I chose this particular scene for a couple of reasons. Chief Bromden, who we were all led to believe was a deaf mute, finally revealed he was anything but and uttered his first words in this scene.
Secondly, Jack Nicholson's reaction is one of my favorite moments in any movie, ever, bar none.
There are so many amazing performances in the film, especially from a young Danny de Vito and Christopher Lloyd. Absolute classic.

LIVE WORK

This was taken at a recent wedding I worked at over Christmas. Unfortunately, although I did have my camera with me, there was no memory card inside!! ARGH!
Paul Sherwood, the very talented wedding photographer on the day, very kindly took this photo for me to put up on the blog.

ERIC MORECAMBE

I'm pretty sure that one of my first memories of seeing comedy on tv would have been the Morecambe and Wise show. They were easily one of the best 'straight man / funny man double acts of that era but Eric Morecambe was always my favorite of the two whose sense of comedy timing was just impeccable.
