Famously Infamous

Hello all!

Well this is my first in the series (yep there will be more of these coming). I have always admired caricaturists and always have struggled to paint one...well, this time I just took a plunge.

Painted with Ink on 11 x 14 whiteboard (again Charles' technique)...this is cropped version since my scanner is quite small; however, there is just more of the background missing, so no big deal.

Quite a change in styles for you but I like this. It's pretty cool and very well done.

Oh I wish I could do this. I always admire people who can change things to this extent yet still capture someone. Excellent and I love the style!

Re: Famously Infamous

Oh, by the way Martin, have a look through Jason Sealer's website. Jason is Larry's son. Larry is a moderator on the Animal and Wildlife forum here on WetCanvas and Jason is as good a caricaturist as I've ever seen.

Re: Famously Infamous

This is really cool. However, is it a famous person and if it is, who?

Re: Famously Infamous

Hmmm... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, based on the beard, cigar, and bearing, that this is a young Fidel Castro.

Re: Famously Infamous

Harold...thank you very much, sometimes I really need to "attack" different styles and subject to keep the excitement of art going

Patrick...I am sure with your sense of humor and artistic abilities you will be able to create some great caricatures..btw, I am familiar with Jason's work...yes, you are right, he is incredible! Thank you

Cathy...thank you...yes, it was fun and am already working on other

Artst - thank you very much, I appreciate it

Karen - thank you very much...this guy is none other than Ernesto "Che" Guevarra

Lorna - thank you for you comment

Irfan - thank you very much!

Tania - thank you very much...well, close enough, it's his "compadre" Ernesto "Che" Guevarra; however, Fidel will be in my collection as well

Diana - thank you very much...I wanted to draw caricatures for longest time....
