>Tim Burton ~ Retrospective
>
Tonight I have a manipulated caricature of film director, producer, writer and artist Tim Burton. The image I used was from an actual exhibit of Burton’s art … (slow loading but worth it), at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The exhibit spanned his entire life and included artwork he did as a teen. I’ve posted the source image below as well as video interview of Burton behind the scenes at the MOMA exhibit in 2009. I would like to do this one again after my wacom comes in so I can play with the hair a bit more. I’m tired of trying to paint hair with a mouse.

>Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones
>
Tonight I have a photo-manipulated caricature of Mick Jagger from The Rolling Stones. The Stones are one of the most important bands in the history of music and some of the most well known faces. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards especially have great character in their faces, perfect for caricatures. I want to do Keith Richards in the near future. These guys have been around for a long time and are still making music. I’ve posted the source picture below as well as a great video of one of their classics, “Angie”. So, here’s to one of the greatest bands in the history of music.

>Ozzy Osbourne II ~ "Life Won’t Wait"
>
I seldom revisit a manipulation but I was looking to change my Facebook profile image and I like Ozzy, so I decided to tweak him a bit and add glasses. My version of Ozzy seems to be pretty popular on Facebook so a slight makeover was in order. There’s also a little something below for your entertainment.
