Cheshire Kid

so the portrait stand closed down because no-one wants to buy a portrait at downtown disney. no love of fine art in the disneyland crowd? what a shock. so kaman's finally opened a caricature stand at disney and i was thrown on board. kaman's is a terrible corporation to work for. just another monster sucking the depleting blood of today's young, penniless artists. two caricature jobs i had before this paid me 30% and 25% of my sales. kaman's, being the biggest company of the three, pays me a whopping 16%. not to mention they have an uptight rule for every uptight rule. on the lighter side of things, this quirky little boy asked me to draw him as the cheshire cat. being a big alice fan and having never before received such a genius request, i seized the opportunity with gusto and was pleased with the outcome. the end

Roger Waters

bassist and integral writer throughout pink floyd's heyday. many have said he's a dick. i love the atmospheres he created in the songs. brilliant at making massive sounds with simple yet unique song writing skills. i think he added that tension in pink floyd's music because if you listen to their later albums without him, though some beautiful moments, they don't seem to carry the same weight. also a fantastic lyricist. ugly bugger. he's got that kind of ugly that doesn't look normal until he's aged into an old man.

Syd Barrett

the founder of pink floyd. he wrote a lot of koooky songs and inspired a lot of people. went crazy before super stardom. a perfect example of that friend that shines so brightly and suddenly disappears into obscurity. the tragedy of youth lost, the promises of a new day never realized. my favorite of his, jug band blues.

Jim Morrison

this is jim. jim is him. from this photo i could see how they would cast val kilmer as a good look alike. but from other photos ive seen of him, his face looks less sharp edged, rounder. his ears stuck out too and his jaw seemed to jut out. plus he had that weird brow to nose plate that seemed to encase his eyes. actually, he bears a strong resemblance to a guy i grew up with named william hammons. i think their of the same descent. no joke, he has the same eyes, ears, head shape, and that puckered lip thing. not to mention, he had the same love of poetry and dramatics. a lot less serious though.
