Perfect imperfection. This is my favorite picture that I have ever created, Kurt Cobain
I've always enjoyed the, MTV Unplugged, series. This drawing of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was inspired by their 1993 performance on that series. It's one of my favorite performances by Nirvana and my third favorite live performance of all time, right behind, Elvis's '68 Comeback Special and Queen's Live Aid performance.
I created this drawing in July of 2016. As you can see, there is a drop of India Ink on the original drawing. Instead of trying to cover this ink, I instead chose to embrace it as part of the drawing, as if to represent Kurt himself, perfect imperfection, It was created on 11x16 inch artist board, with Pen & Ink and a slight wash. It is currently farmed in a imperfect frame, which fits the perfect drawing.

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.
