This was a caricature study of Woody Allen done fro practice, but I like Woody’s features so I decided to use him for my bio and for my Facebook ID.
This is the before and after image od Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson. They were a lot of fun.
This was a quick study of Howard Stern and a gift for a friend from FreakingNews.com, DeviantArt.com and Facebook.

This was an entry in my 31st Freak Show contest at FreakingNews.com. I did something a little different this time blending caricature and surrealism with a political edge to it. It won gold.
I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

>A Caricature Study of Robert De Niro
>
This is a caricature study I did last night of Robert De Niro. I’m trying to do one study every night on top of my regular manipulations and everything else I have to get done during the day. This is the image of De Niro I started with. This was a very fast manipulation. It was not meant to be a finished piece. My intention was to keep it loose. Sometimes I tend to over do a manipulation and the caricature ends up looking stiff. It was strictly a learning experience. It could stand improvement, but I’m happy with what I took away from it.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

>A caricature study of Jay Leno
>
This is a caricature fairly quick study of Jay Leno I did last night for practice. I’m experimenting with some different techniques of manipulating the photo, especially when I’m doing extreme exageration as in Jay’s chin. You tend to get stretch marks and blurring when morphing images and I’m learning how to keep that pixel blurring to a minimum when using _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Can’t give away my secrets just yet. Of course, high resolution images help especially at the size I do most of my manipulations. I like to show lots of detail when posssible and generally the final image is 1280 pixels wide. This one ia a bit shy of that. Here is the original image of Leno.

This was an entry for a contest at FreakingNews.com called “English Idioms”. I studied a load of idioms off the internet for hours and finally I ran across ”dressed to kill”. I knew at that moment exactly what I was going to do for this contest. I chose Bill Murray and this particular image because I love that blank expression Bill had on his face in the source pic. This one was a lot of fun to do. There were 60 entries in this contest. Bill took gold.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!
