Words and Pictures and Noise
{ Category Archives }
This is a collaborative sketch I did with thisisrabbit ages and ages ago and forgot all about until I found it over on his site. I thought I’d nick it and put it up here.
thisisrabbit is a cartoonist and street artist who’s been lurking around Auckland for years doing some very fun stuff. His work’s well worth checking out on his site or his flickr account, the address to which I’ve forgotten but it’s probably on his website somewhere.
When I started drawing this it wasn’t going to be a picture of disgraced former US president Richard Nixon, but after I had done the eyebrows and jowls that’s who it looked like so I figured who was I to argue and carried on with it. I’m not much of a caricaturist so I’m pretty proud of the fact that it looks even remotely like him, even more so given that I wasn’t working of any references. And my American friend Jess said it was good, and she would know.
