Compliments of Ken Hunt!

Inspired by a photo of Abigail and I holding a pecan pie we'd made for Thanksgiving. :cool:

I recognized Sam immediately upon viewing the drawing. Who could mistake the guy with a double chin, big noes, floppy ears, chicken lips and droopy eyes. ;~)

Thankfully he made me look better than I actually do!

What was Abigail thinking?...........must be the charisma, talent, intellectual conversation, kindness, warmth, and 300 highlights on top of the noggin. Merry Christmas Sam, hope to see you at a show soon.

I don't know, Lee. I married up and she married down, that's for sure!

Will I see you at SCI again next year?

Yup, my Lisa did the same the same thing. She just got a new pair of glasses so I hope it doesn't change anything important. Since it's Christmas time she might have mistaken me for a dapper looking Chia Pet with the old glasses.

I'll see you at SCI. You can scope out all of the good engraving again to show me when I wander in.

I've never made a serious attempt at a caricature, but I was up for the challenge. Ken's a lot better at it than I am!

That's great. You've captured Ken really well.

If you want to study the art of caricature then look no further than Mort Drucker who drew for Mad magazine. His work is exceptional.

Cheers
Andrew

Mad Magazine? :shock: Certainly you're not recommending that a person of my sophistication read Mad Magazine are you?
