the 4th, and last, horseman. Christopher Hitchens is the most tenacious and, in my opinion, the funniest.

sam harris is horseman #3. He's cool and incredibly intelligent. I love his use of logic.

121807

my quick caricature of horseman #2. Daniel Dennett is kind and calm and remind me of Randi, but with a bit less tenacity.

the first of the "4 horsemen" of atheism. Dawkins looks kind of like professor drake from those old disney cartoons.

end title for the project im working on. can't you just feel the love?

121507

the last BG of the project. I tend to whip these out fairly fast. the longest part is the tweaking after it's "done" to get everything to look just right.

121307

another background. I really like this one.

121207

a quick mock up of a BG for a project im working on. I think it works well so I plan on just editing this file.

getting back to pencil on paper is really refreshing.

This is supposed to be a caricature of myself. I don't think its very good. Caricaturing yourself/friends/loved ones is really hard. I think it's because you know that there is so much more to them than just a bunch of lines and shapes on a surface.

On a side note, I want to practice caricature more in my personal work. I think it helps understand the forms of the face. If anyone wants to donate a picture of themselves to be caricatured, I'd be much obliged.
