I was stuck for what to draw tonight, then I noticed it was Kirk Douglas' birthday.
It got me thinking about John Kricfalusi, you see John's hero is Kirk Douglas, which I find a bit weird, I mean here's a guy that worked for Hanna Barbera and created one of the most memorable cartoons of my generation (Ren and Stimpy) so you'd think his hero would be an artist, a cartoonist etc but no, it's Kirk.
So, I tried to draw Kirk, I know I'm not good at drawing portraits of people so I thought I'd just give it a go, if it went bad I'd do it again, so, it went bad, but then I used what I learned in that drawing and drew a second one, I was very happy with the second one so I tried to take it up another level by doing it a third time but unfortunately made him look more George Bush than Kirk.
So I could have easily have titled this entry "quit whilst you are ahead"
I was too tired to post it on Thursday night so I saved it till Friday.
Not sure what to draw for 200?
Any ideas?
P.S. weird side note, Billy West voiced Stimpson J Cat (Stimpy) in Ren & Stimpy, he is the same guy that voices Fry, the Professor and Dr Zoidberg in Futurama
