It was interesting reading what you wanted to capture and then looking at the faces to see what you expressed. I think - IMHO - you nailed them. I only know of the infamous Adams and the mercurial Cuomo (sort of like Tom cruise, One more blockbuster left to go).

Ha! Indeed. One more blockbuster with a giant stunt.

Thanks Beverley.

Loved every word of this but especially, “Hard because how do you capture the essence of a man who seems to exist in multiple realities simultaneously?” Also loved the portraits but so different from your usual style. Why?

Haha thank you! I was hoping you’d enjoy this one.

Not totally different style. I’ve been doing portraits in this style for a while for Sam Harris for the Waking Up app— https://www.newyorkcartoons.com/p/illustrating-the-invisible-my-collaboration?r=12wah&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Excellent drawings and equally excellent writing! how do you find the time to do everything that you do in your career and stay up on the crazy politics of New York City?!

Richard Thompson not withstanding (what does that even mean?? Did I say it right?) Yours are brilliant! (Coming from someone living outside of Detroit, Michigan, and we have our own gallery LOL )

Love this. Your art and “Drawing Cuomo is like drawing a thumb that went to law school.”
