He's a really hard likeness to caricature too.. I did a drawing of him some time back...and man it stunk..

Yours on the other hand is beautiful..

Brilliant. I'm having trouble drawing him...

really great painting.

this got me wanting to do a caricature of him, but pedro's right, nigh impossible to capture.
so, kudos on the great likeness.

Thanks, guys.

Pedro, I remember your caricature of him. In my opinion, it was instantly recognizable as Shatner.

I might have a go at a caricature of him myself, seeing as other people think he's difficult - I like a challenge.

Ancient history, but I think I missed this. Nice one!
