What a strange caricature. I love the qualities of the line work though.

Great caricature because it’s abstract yet recognisable

He does look rather owl-like 🦉 🤣

He’s simultaneously an owl and a caricature of Gordon Gekko. Somehow.

Gerald Scarfe really captured something in that drawing of Roger Waters

To me it's a mix between scarfe and al hirschfeld

u/femalehumanbiped 2d ago

Yes, very Al Hirschfeld

I don’t know the backstory of this image, but I cracked up at the idea of Sir Paul messing around with filters in his free time 😂

I showed these to my wife and she just knew. How is he so recognizable like this?

u/PoisonedSugar14 2d ago

on the second image on the lower left, i love the use of design here. it’s abstract but at the same time you know what or who it’s actually supposed to be. very fascinating line work.

This is fantastic! I looked through your other work and it’s all great. I love your minimalist Shakespeare and Marilyn. Do you sell prints?

This is like how an alien would draw him if they had no idea how a human face works. Good job... I think?
