I want to like Ken Fallin's caricatures, but I dont

His new one looks more like Jack Nicholson as The Joker instead of a character from CFA

Re: Jen Collela caricature

The hair is... unfortunate. But I do see her features there when you tell me it's her unlike with some of Squigs' generic attractive people (cough Christy Altomare cough Emily Padgett). If you look at some of the Hirschfeld caricatures, they weren't always the most accurate to the performers, especially with details like the eyes, etc. But usually they captured some sense of the production, particularly in those big scenes that felt like a snapshot of a moment in the show. I don't understand this pose at all. It makes the big grin, especially with the exaggerated brows, look sinister... like she's the Child Catcher or something.

I'm a big fan of Squigs. I am still trying to figure out from Hogan's post who is responsible for Fallin's employment at BWW: Ebersole or LuPone. LOL.

Fallin drew Javier Muñoz, and... just... yikes.

^I think that's wonderful.

But it's all very subjective.

Oh my god.

That CFA one looks less like a Hirschfeld and more like a Gerald Scarfe.

I personally really really like Mr. Fallin's caricatures and its unfair to compare him with Squiggs, whom I think is equally talented. But Mr. Fallin is surely more developed and experienced in his style. But I think we can all agree that either of them would be WAYYYYY better than ANY of the drawings? portraits? at Sardis for the past 3-4 years! Absolutely disastrous! 

You guys should check out @DramaticInking who does caricatures and drawings for West End/London-based shows! Or shamelessly... if anyone has the time, please check out my artwork too @Felixsdrawing
