Heeeeeeere's Jack!



Jack's back, baby, and he don't use no doors. Dressed to the 9 in Oscar wear with the iconic bluesman shades. Makes me want to do a series of Hollywood bad-asses.

I am on board now.....I am working your link onto the Blog post haste.
My only comment would be that as much as I like the colored line treatment. I would like to see it slightly varied in colors of those lines just to spice it up for the eyes a tad.

But, some holiwood bad asses can't go wrong. I am pulling for LEE VAN CLEEF.

Dagan-

Thanks for dropping by! Yeah, the blog gathered a little dust for two months, but I'm clearing out the old "work" file and posting a bit.

I'm doing well and at least for the next four weeks, I am hanging around the old stomping-grounds. Maybe I should re-christen the fun deck.

Pedro-

Welcome aboard and thanks for the linkage!

Yeah, I enjoy employing the colored "self" line on objects and characters occasionally. In this piece, it appears maybe a bit too soft on the flesh and teeth, compared to the dark hair and glasses.

Lee Van Cleef is definitely a Hollywood badass. He is now on the list. Thanks.

Andy-

Thanks for the support! Yeah, I'm pretty happy with Jack here and the Clint piece as well. I do want to do more caricatures (as do you, as I read recently on your blog) and vary them up a bit. Maybe I'll take your suggestion and try and bang out a good 10 of them and shop them around.
