this is Miss. Jessi's kitty...same technique as previous soft'n'fluffy's

another in the "soft"n"fluffy" series...."Thursday"

i did the drawing the way i normally do...2-b on strathmoor...then gave it a little spray of fixative...and broke out my trusty prismacolor pencils....i'm livin' on the wild side now!!!!

cats and a dog...done with my trusty staedtler 925 .07 2-B lead mechanical pencil on good old strathmoor...from top to bottom we have "Stewie"..."Oscar"...and " KittyKitty"...approx size about 11"x 13"

a little Tommy Lee Jones...looked at "No Country for Old Men" and this was my take....now i have had a friend look at this and see Ronald Reagan...Ronny had a much more involved turkey watel neck and smiled more....alzheimer's does that....keeps you silly happy...

i needed to do a drawing of little 9yr old Christina Green....which i sent to her parents.

she was at congresswoman's Gabby Gifford's rally...this little girl was there to be a part of the excitment...to learn more about government...to see Mrs. Gifford...she was in 4th grade...she had big beautiful brown eye's...there are no words that i can come up with to make any sence out of this...only an image of someones daughter...the Green family's daughter...r.i.p.

Marc Anthony................................James Cromwell

these are two unrelated caricatures....Marc Anthony was done for " Handmade Caricatures" a FB site for artist to post only traditionally done work...meaning "NO" computers....nothing digital

Mr. James Cromwell was done for a FB site called Caricaturama 3000...anything goes here...

both sites put up challenges each week or so...there are no prizes...it's just a fun way to keep fresh and to get some feed back...

...any of you who won't admit to watching wrestling when you were younger...and i mean "REAL" wrestling!!! not this steriod induced, pretty boy, make up wearing, no blood letting, sissy style of bitch slap fighting...well, you won't admit to have watched one of the all time great psycho's of hard core wrestling...Mr. Wild Bull Curry!!!

I would set 3" from our b/w tv(19"!) on saturday mornings and engulf myself in this show of entertaining distruction...while i ate my bowl of cheerio's covered in REAL sugar!!!...
i had so many favorites and so many villain creep'os...creeps like the Sheik(before it was fasionable to be from"over there") Killer Brookes, the Mighty Igor, Mad Dog Vachon...yep mean nasty creeps, who would suck your eyeball out of your head for a chance to be World Champion!!!

but Wild Bull was extra crazy!!!...biting, chewing, throw chairs...he started that. his constant growl/gutteral chant was another great little trade mark...he always seemed like he was out of breath, just to back his opponent into the corner and take a mike tyson bite out of his forehead...boy...life was good...

i actually got to meet Mr. W.B.Curry...i worked p/t at a sear's automotive when i was in college and in walks this sasquatch in a suit...OMG...It's him...he wasn't that tall 6'...but, my god his shoulders were so freakin wide! and that eyebrow...a woolyworm of massive steriods!
i shook his hand, which i thought was alot like petting a pitbull before he gets a sniff of you...but, he didn't crush it...

so...here is my way of honoring someone who gave me some great childhood memories!!!
