>My Portrait by Caricature Artist Russ Cook

>

Tonight I’m posting a portrait of myself done by a brilliant caricature artist and friend from the UK, Russ Cook. It’s an honor to have my portrait done by such a talented and accomplished artist as Russ. I’m also posting below a previous feature on Russ for those of you who aren’t familiar with his work. It’s just a small sampling of the work of this amazing artist. Be sure and visit the link at the bottom of the post to see his full portfolio. I’m also including the source image Russ worked from for this portrait. He did an awesome job especially considering what he had to work with. Thanks Russ!

The Amazing Work of Russ Cook

I’m re-posting a feature of one of my all time favorite artists and one of the most talented caricature artists in the world and one of my biggest inspirations. Russ Cook is a illustrator and caricature artist from Oxford, UK. He has a unique caricature style like nothing you have ever seen and can be viewed on his blog by clicking on the image above or the link at the bottom of this post. Cook pushes his caricatures to the absolute limit with exaggeration. His ”morph” in his words is so extreme in some cases that you would think the subject would be rendered unrecognizable but no matter the amount of almost outrageous exaggeration, he manages to capture the essence of his subjects. A truly unique style of art is hard to come by but this artist’s work is like none other. His work will amaze and inspire you.
I would like to tell you more about this brilliant artist but he’s a modest man and it’s impossible to find a bio on him. I can however offer you an awesome interview with Russ Cook by VectorTutsPlus.com. You can also find links on his blog to more of his portfolio sites. Below you will find a very few of Cook’s works which will give you a taste of his incredible talent, but you will definitely want to visit his blog to get a better look at this diverse collection of works.
I hope you enjoyed this inspiring sampling of the art of Russ Cook. Please take a moment and visit his blog at the link below.

>Artist Feature ~ Amylee – Paris

>

Tonight I’m featuring an incredible artist who goes by Amylee from Paris France who recently discovered and has now become one of my new favorites. I’ve posted a short bio below as well as contact information, galleries, and even a short video at the end. I’m honored to know such a talented and successful artist as Amylee and to call her my friend. We are connected on several social networking platforms. Enjoy!
Amylee is a French artist who lives and works in Paris. Born in the south of France in 1978, she has studied Applied Arts and Fine Arts. In Paris, she has used her creativity in the area of industrial design, fashion and lifestyle work with various agencies. In 2008 she had her first exhibition and has worked as a professional full-time artist since that time.
Amylee works in many techniques (acrylic paint and patterned collages on canvas). She likes to paint with acrylic because it dries quickly and this allows her to follow her impulses but she also uses patterned paper to dress up her portraits. Interlacing flowers with the bright seventies vibrant colors are impactful and are the trade mark of the artist. She creates her work with great passion and each painting reflects vitality.
Taking inspiration from fashion shows and contemporary patterns, Amylee credits her influences as the Art Deco painters, Klimt, Mucha, French Fauvists and the color range of the Pop artists.
Amylee has already participated in several group and solo exhibitions in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, New York. You can follow her activities on her blog and be sure and take a look at her Artbook.

Tonight I’m posting a portrait commission of Vahid Najafi from Iran who I met on facebook. For some reason this portrait was a difficult one for me. Sometimes they come real easy and fast but this one didn’t so much. The original source image is below. I have a couple more Google+ portraits lined up and then I hope to get some more celebrities done for you guys.
I have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment which will result in some cool stuff in the future but for the time being my posts have been limited. I will take this opportunity to share some of my artist friends which I love doing. I will be featuring a remarkable artist and good friend from Paris, Amylee. You don’t want to miss this one it’s a real feast for the eyes. 
I have been spending a lot of time lately trying to get more organized and and reduce some of my work load as it relates to the stuff I hate to do like handling emails and notifications. I’m investing in some software which will help me manage my email, notifications and social media, which will free up more time for me to do what I love and get back to doing some celebrity caricatures. I am also looking into some software to record a tutorial which has been requested of me many times. I’m working on it all guys, so please bare with me. I can’t wait until I am able to hire my assistant. That will make my job 100% fun again.

 Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!
