This drawing of,Harry and Bess (Houdini), has been about two months in the making. Although I have been fascinated with Houdini for a long time, my fascination bordered on obsession for the last few months. It all started with the audio book, The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini by Joe Posnanski and comes to a fitting end with this beautiful drawing of Harry and Bess.
This drawing was created on 10" x 16" Canson Illustration board with pen, India Ink and some cross hatching with Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. And I love it!
Michael Hopkins
Caricaturist
Born and raised in Renton, Washington, Michael Hopkins grew up surrounded the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and aviation history. At an early age, Michael art was inspired by the likes of, Al Hirschfeld, Chuck Jones and Seattle Post Intelligencer Cartoonist, Bob McCausland and of course, aviation.
Michael’s credits his sense of humor and absurdity to Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy and Seattle's own J.P. Patches. The humor he developed, combined with his mastery of caricature, has been bringing smiles to the faces of those who understood satirical humor and consternation to those on the receiving end of his biting satire. Michael has proven over and over again, that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword.
