The important thing is to keep on drawing when you start to paint. Never graduate from drawing.
- John Sloan
A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Charlie Powell

Posted by Charley Parker at 8:14 am

Charlie Powell
Charlie Powell is an illustrator whose incisive, entertaining and deftly rendered likenesses of public figures have been featured in print and online publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Washington Post, Wired, Fortune, Playboy, Slate.com and Salon.com.

He has a knack for capturing both a likeness and a characteristic pose and expression for his subjects, rendering them in the big-head little-body style common to caricature with both style and wit.

His web site includes 3 portfolio sections of his work, and you can view additional pieces on his iSpot portfolio.
