King Vulture Study

VULTURE240.jpg

I wanted to do a king vulture study, sensing the beauty lurking beneath the grotesque details. Sounds like a Francis Bacon painting, doesn't it? Maybe it's the vivid coloration in contrast to the reptilian skin folds.

Assad Caricature Used in Rally!

assad-toon.jpg


It has happened again. My caricature of Assad that I did on October 17, 2005 (see that post on the old Cox and Forkum site found in the archives) has popped up in a recently gathering of angry anti-government citizens.

First it was Khameini and Ahmadinejad (June 20, 2009). Then it was Gadaffi (February 24, 2011). Now Assad. I'm waiting on my Kim caricature to make it sometime.

A large hat-tip to Robert Tracinski, editor of The Intellectual Activist, for bringing this to my attention.

AND THE ORIGINAL IS AVAILABLE!

Signage for Vintage Record Shop

badDOG245.jpg

You'd walk into this place, layers of mysterious dust covering the ceiling fan,Costello warbling about Allison. A fifty-ish, heavy-set nebbish, surrounded by Star Wars kitsch, is lecturing a soccer mom on the psychosexual themes of the Boomtown Rats oeuvre.

Caricatures Pop Again

caricaturesRALLY.jpg

It's been brought to my attention, via Allen Forkum and others, my Ahmadinejad (second from the left) and Khameini (fourth from the left) caricatures have inspired Iranian protesters once again.

I'm digging the size of the masks. Very enterprising.
