At the start of the year I had a lot of requests to do famous celebrities. This is one of them, and was the most requested, due to his illegal invasion of Ukraine. Here is Putin showing a deaf ear to his critics.

The second caricature celebrity requested at the start of the year was Elon Musk. Most of these were for NFTs. Something I try not to do a lot of, unless I have full control of the artwork.

An interesting commission for a buyer who wanted to do an adaptation of the Lion King scene of the father taking in the clouds, but to replace it with a turtle, and include several other elements.

The second Putin caricature, requested just after the start of the war. This was commissioned by a US firm who wanted it to support Ukraine and fundraise. I wont disclose what the image was used for.

Another celebrity caricature, this time of Donald T***P! I really liked this outcome of the black and white, which was done from a great reference image.

Really liked this little celebrity caricature of Charles Barkley, doing his famous dribbling.
