CARICATURES:

Bob Dylan. Oil on canvas. Bob Dylan from around 1961 -ish. He listed Woody Guthrie as a big influence in the beginning so I included the note on his guitar that I saw on a guitar Woody had once held. I hope the machine continues to work.

Anne Wilkes Tucker is a museum curator at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. illustration for Wall Street Journal

Rudy Giuliani. Cover for The Week Magazine. Riding his popularity after 911, Giuliani decided to run for president as he tried to keep all his shady past in the "closet".

Rupert Murdoch. Cover for The Week Magazine. Murdoch bought a majority stake in the Wall Street Journal. So many reasons this is not good, the least of which the WSJ didn't hire me for almost 5 years after the deal! I think we're good now though.

Marlon Brando. Gouache on paper. A sample I did playing with the famous "Street car named desire" pose a young Brando struck. I thought it'd be humorous to put a few of his other distinct looks in the same outfit. I couldn't find good reference from his "Island of Dr Monroe" tragedy.(POR)

Marlon Brando. Physically in his prime, that's a guess. This was the first in a series of portraits I was doing showing celebrities from different eras of their careers. This is gouache on paper. (POR)

Bob "electric" Dylan '65. Oil on canvas. (POR) A while back I began experimenting with doing caricatures of celebrities who had long careers and different looks. Mr Dylan was one of the 1st I did. Inspired from an assignment for WSJ in which the AD asked for a caricature of Dylan. I looked at all the reference they had sent and it spanned 40 + years. I asked which Dyan they wanted?

John Douglas Thompson and Terry Teachout. Thompson plays the character, Satchmo, the lead in a play about Louis Armstrong. Illustration for Wall Street Journal. (POR)

Jessica Alba. Done as a sample. I first became aware of Alba when she was on the television series "Dark Angel". My time doing comic books left me with a renewed love of science fiction and this series hit the right nerve for me.(POR)

Martin Scorsese. Pencil and white gouache on paper. He had such a great face to caricature how could I not draw him!

Mitchell Hurwitz. For Wall Street Journal. The banana tie was a spontaneous add as I was painting. (POR)

Dick Cheney. Oil on panel cover for The Week Magazine. The concept here was questioning Cheney's assessment of the situation in the war in Iraq.

Iggy Pop. I met Iggy at a book signing. He was very nice and still had the look of "rock star" all over him. (POR)

Robert Downey Jr playing Kirk Lazareth from "Tropic Thunder".
