If Politicians Were 'Breaking Bad' Characters...

Dick Cheney as "Hector Salamanca"

I did these quickie illustrations for a FunnyOrDie.com article but they opted to use actual photos instead 

Bill Clinton as "Heisenberg"

Here are some of the illustrations that would otherwise live for eternity in my hard drive.

So, enjoy!

Maybe I'll upload the rest later.

Commission: Alexander Duthart

I was commissioned to paint this earlier this year...

It's a portrait of Alexander Duthart (1925–1986); he was a Scottish drummer who revolutionized Scottish pipe band snare playing. Thanks Wikipedia!

Unfortunately, Mr. Duthart didn't take a lot of photographs in his lifetime. The ones he did take were extremely 1970s-style blurry. On top of that, he also wore about 18 yards of plaid as part of his Scottish drummer outfit.

Painting plaid from a blurry reference photo is pure hell on the eyeballs. It instantly makes you feel like you've been in a Wal-Mart for 5 hours (or 15 minutes, same difference) and/or like you've been awake for 4 days watching Requiem for a Dream on a loop. 

I won't ever paint plaid again, ever.  EVER.

Anyway, this painting was framed at Artworks and now resides with a former student of Mr. Duthart.
