Kisstones

Kiss/Stones logo


Someone's asked me to do a stones' logo but with gene's tongue..Harder than it sounds..
I've lived with it for a couple of days..unsure whether or not I like it..

will stones fans get it or assume it's a badly drawn bootleg? Will kiss fans get it?

Ben and Laura


Ben and Laura - there ice cream range wasn't as successful-

The difficulty with wedding and caricatures is that you have to be careful not to offend, as not everyone likes caricature. I tend to play safe and introduce 15%-20% caricature into the drawing. Fortunatley the Bride had a very attractive, pretty face so I merely did a 'straight' drawing, slighty enhancing the fullness of lips and cheekbones. The Groom I exagerated the ruggedness and the masculine features..I was pleased with ths finished version. Just hope they liked it (it was a surprise gift!)!

Tommy Lee Jones - This is the crudest drawing I've done on here, I was trying to get a likeness in as few lines as possible, then I started adding..., click to zoom, it looks better bigger
