Sketch of Ron Howard...probably the begining of a paint over.

Also wanted to share a few things I've come across one being a brief interview with Roger Law of Spitting Image...



The video was originaly found on the TATE channel entitled Rude Britannia : British Comic Art. It also showcases the work of Gerald Scarfe!

...and Illustration Magazine has been kind enough to provide reprints of previous issues on ISSUU with some really stunning material. I've included the issue that showcases the work of Dean Cornwell in this post!

Sean Penn Final

Starting to lose interest in this so time to close the book. A bit of a coincidence him being interviewed on Charlie Rose this week discussing his organization in Haiti. Always nice to see someone using their celebrity attempting to do something good!

Little more work this evening...inspired by Master Patrick Mate's version!!!

Jack Elam

One of the great Western character actors...so I guess this is a companion piece to the Sergio Leone sketch since I used the opening sequence of "Once Upon A Time In The West" as reference!

John Cleese

Some killer pieces on "FaceBook"!!!

Sergio Leone

Il Maestro...it took an Italian to recreate the American west!

Farewell Robert Culp

Robert Culp passed a few weeks ago and I was reminded of the first time I saw him act. It was on a show called "The Outer Limits" and his performance on "The Demon with the Glass Hand" written by the great Harlan Ellison was one of the best the show ever ran. You catch the entire thing on YouTube...shot in a film noir style with very simple effects (love the low tech make-up on the aliens). The storyline has been compared to "Terminator" and in fact James Cameron gave Harlan Ellison a partial writing credit for his film.
Took awhile to do this sketch...Deb and I got a new puppy and did I forget how much work they are...very tired, but she sure is cute!
