"Weird Al" Band Picture for 2013

On April 22, 2013 "Weird Al" Yankovic performed at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri. In anticipation of that event I posted several study sketches for this final image.The theme I chose was Walking Dead Al. It is on watercolor paper with Winsor & Newton Watercolor Pans and touched up with black Pitt pens.(In the end I chose to keep the image.)
The concert was awesome, the seats were close, and  the company was cool! I highly recommend catching one of his concerts. I have been to 8, now!!

Christmas Commission

Back in December I received a call from a friend for an image for a t-shirt of his family in the style of those stick figure stickers you see on the backs windows of cars. Rather than mimic, this is how I would do draw them. My caricature training really helped out here. I really enjoy simplifying a face down to as few things as possible and still retaining likeness and/or personality of the subject.My friend is the character holding the ipad. Can you find whose shoe the dog has?
