Riddle Me This, Batman!— Frank Gorshin

I spent last night watching “The Dark Knight”, while sketching Frank Gorshin— The Riddler, from the 1967 Batman Tv shim and movie. 

I used pencil on white canvas-paper. The green hue is a happy coincidence from the photography. Because green is his signature color, I kept it. 

Thanks for looking!

No Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Diet!

Here's a bit of late night sketching, while watching "Quantum of Solace." I sketched it on Canvas Paper with pencil and Prismacolor. 

Now I'm going to sleep. . . 

Thanks for looking!

A Brush & Frank Zappa– No Commercial Potential

Here's another go a at brush & ink. I think I'm getting better at it. For this one I sketched one of my favorite musicians– Frank Zappa! It started as a pencil sketch on Canson Canvas Paper. Then I taped the paper down and laid down light ink washes to build up value. Then I finished it with pen and ink for dark detail, and white Prismacolor or Chinese White watercolor for added white.

Thanks for looking!

"Ready Freddie!" Freddie Mercury Sketch

It was very slow at work Thursday. So I sketched Freddie Mercury on the back of a misprinted MacBook pricing sheet. As I was sketching, I absolutely hated it. But looking at it the last couple of days, it has started to grow on me. "Now I'm here!"

Thanks for looking!

"Put up your Dukes, Pilgrim!" John Wayne Caricature

I found something that I thought would be fun to share. I was digging through some old sketches, found this guy. I did this caricature of Rooster a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, he seems to be a bit snockered. I can picture him drunkenly driving his horse, with the reins in his teeth, while firing off his Winchester and Colt Navy. Wow, that was a great movie!

By the way. Check out my new website kylewigginsart.com!

Nicholas Cage “Boy, you got a panty on yo' head!”

When people tell me that Nicholas Cage is a bad actor, I tell them to watch ‘Raising Arizona’. It is one of my favorite movies. It's one of my goto movies when I paint. Because of the great one liners, I don't even have to watch it.

Here is Mr. Cage as H.I. McDunnough. 

Walken on the wild side!

Here's a quick sketch of Christopher Walken from 'A View to a Kill'. For a James Bond movie, it was ok. But of course, Chris Walken as the villain, was brilliant! I think I wanna do a painting of this. 

Thanks for looking

¡kcor s'teL - Twin Peaks, The Man from Another Place!

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post. I recently moved. So, between unpacking and organizing, I've produced very little. As a bonus my internet hasn't been installed yet. 

I've been having a Twin Peaks Marathon-Palooza this weekend. This is my sketch of The Man from Another Place. I'll probably do MIKE and Killer BOB sketches as well. 

"I've got blisters on me fingers!"

Here is my attempt at drawing a Beatle. I took the photo on my phone. So, sorry about the quality. Once I finish the sketch, I'll post Ringo in all of his Liverpudlian glory. (Not waxing egocentric. I just wanted to say Liverpudlian glory;)

Study for Rip. . .

This is the philosopher Herbert Spencer. He has the most amazing chops, skullett, and neck-beard. After seeing his daguerreotype, I realized that he is the perfect model for my upcoming Rip Van Winkle illustration.

. . . So it goes: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

I have been reading a lot of Kurt Vonnegut recently. I thought it would be fun to do a quick sketch of him.

"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion.

 I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do." 
~Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Here's another study for the Jack Nicholson caricature I'm finishing up.
