The only man who has ever looked better with a mustache than without.

Over at E-Caricatures, our theme for this month's contest, in honour of the popular tradition known as "Movember", is Famous Mustaches. I decided to draw the first person who always comes to my mind on those numerous (in fact, near constant) occasions when I think about famous guys with mustaches... Tom Selleck.

Done in Sketchbook Pro.

If you like all books ever published, just because they're books, you'll LOVE this one!

Hey, everyone! I wrote a book!

Yeah, I wrote a little humour book called Dear All of Hollywood. It's published on the self-publishing website lulu.com, and you can buy copies of it there.

It's a small collection of letters addressed to "all of Hollywood", informing filmmakers and tv people of little facts they clearly don't know.

Here's just one example:

"Dear All of Hollywood:
I wanted to point out that, although I've never actually attempted it myself, I really think I can state with confidence that the act of smothering a person to death with a pillow requires more than ten seconds.
Just thought you might find this information useful going forward.
Sincerely,
Don."






Many of these letters are illustrated by me, featuring caricatures of various Hollywood celebrity types. If you would like to see a preview, and/ or purchase a copy, you can find it on lulu.com, at the following link. I appreciate the support.

Yeah, that's right, more Beatles caricatures! You got a problem with that?

I started these last summer, and just FINALLY got them finished yesterday! I know, the edge of Paul's face is kinda hard to make out, it blends into the white background. It doesn't look like that on the original. Unfortunately, I just don't have a very good scanner.

Anyway, I'm selling prints of these! Buy any one individually for $15, or all four for just $50! Woo-hoo! What a deal! Woooooooo! Drop me an e-mail at don@caricaturesbydon.com if you're interested.

This isn't really only the second time I've posted in 2013, is it?

My quick, poorly-coloured sketch of Emma Stone, American actress best known for starring in about 50% of all movies released in the last three years. Done for this month's caricature contest at the E-Caricatures forum, the theme for which is, coincidentally, Emma Stone.

This isn't really the first time I've posted in 2013, is it?

I'm CERTAIN I must have posted SOMETHING this year, but nothing's showing up since December 2012! Weird!

Okay, then here are a couple of Sketchbook Pro sketches I've done recently:

Penn and/or Teller:
