'This is not a pipe'...or a swan
Two entries to CS3000, one done before and one after my previously posted Lou Ferrigno piece. Both of these are anthropomorphic concepts (i.e. taking something, in this case a swan and a smoking pipe, and humanising it). The first is my latest, Natalie Portman from the movie 'Black Swan'. Had a lot of fun with this concept and it turned out alright. Also below once again are a few stages from it's creation. Did my best to wrangle Portman's form into the swan silhouette, the head could have been more swan-like, but you get the idea.
Next is my submission for the Norman Rockwell caricature jam. Many people were drawing Norman smoking his trademark pipe, so I turned the tables. This time the pipe is smoking him!

always stunning....never dissapointed. you rock on so many levels
My favorite piece so far! Love it when you mix art with a concept!
Bravo! Your work consistently has strong likeness/essence, an interesting concept, and amazing rendering. There are so many caricatures which fall short on one or more of those qualities... (usually the first two).
Great piece Chris and love the Rockwell too!
Dude! Dude! !!!!!!! ... dude!
i enjoy your rending of smoke. i am currently creating lettering with using smoke as an influence. the illo of rockwell, creative, eye catching and humorous.
Definitely love the twist on rockwell.
