what's na'vi for "man, that indian chick is hot"?

these are my entries for two contests going this month:

wittygraphy's contest: bollywood actress aishwarya rai.


and e-caricatures' contest: pompous, self-aggrandizing film director james cameron.

sing along if you know the words: baaaarrrrrump dumpdaadump, badump, daadump, barrump dumpdaadump, badump, daadump...

alfred hitchcock, for the e-caricatures monthly contest. i was trying really hard to find different things to exaggerate than every other caricature i've seen of him... it didn't work. so i threw in the blood spatter just to try to make it different. looking at it again, though, i'm not sure i like it. it's kinda distracting. oh, well. it's just a sketch. i think i might like to take this one further one day, and if i do, i'll decide then what to do with it to separate it from the others.

a couple of new ones today...

man, you have no idea how many tries went into getting a leonardo dicaprio i liked!

tarantino, on the other hand, was like shooting fish in a barrel... with a cannon.... from 6 inches away... and the fish are wearing blindfolds.... and have targets painted on them....

what's the deal with movie directors and big, thick-rimmed glasses?

i'm a big fan of this wackjob, and for some reason have never caricatured him before. i really enjoyed doing it, but again, spent far more time on it than i should have.

i'm gonna get fired.

here's tim burton.

martin scorsese

uhhh... yeah.

martin scorsese.

okay, forget flash!

well, no, don't forget it entirely. it does get kind of a cool look, and i may come back to it from time to time when i'm wanting to get said look, but it's... idunno... unweildy.

so this guy at work (jacobmenard.blogspot.com ) comes in one day raving about this program called sketchbook pro, and insisting i have to try it. so i did. now i'm hooked! it's awrsome! it's almost like drawring on paper, except it eliminates the necessity for the scanning step. i've started on a leonardo dicaprio and an ellen pompeo in sketchbook, which i will post when they're done, but in the meantime, my friend caroline (carolinejarvis.blogspot,com ) and i started up a thing where every day we're gonna work on a caricature sketch over lunch, always doing the same celebrities. some other people at work may or may not be joining us in this, we'll see.
anyway, today was day one, and i spent way more time on this than i should have, and than i can afford to from now on. but i like the final product. i mean, i could make it tighter, but then i'd have to spend a whole lot more time on it, so i won't. for now.

so here it is. it's woody allen.
