Description Here are some more drawings for those of you who requested 'Composers Amy Style' (or 'Amy-ified'...

Tchaikovsky for
Lemmy Kilmister for
Vivaldi for
Gershwin for
Johann Strauss for
Haydn for and
Shostakovich for

Hehe. My favorite is Strauss. Man, what a crazy looking dude. Really fun to draw.

Shotakovich wound up looking like a pissed off little kid. Haha. To me, anyhow...

Gershwin came out better than I expected. He was the hardest one, probably because he's so 'normal looking'. I mean, no crazy facial hair or any really exaggerated facial features.

Tchaikovsky looks like Joe with a major haircut.

But hey, I was happy with 'em! Hope you guys like them. As far as I know, I'm caught up with these now, but if anyone has any more for me, let me know. This is too much fun!!

Aw, cool, glad you liked it. I looked at about 6 pics to get him right. There were some with him clean shaven but I liked the sideburns/stache look with the cowboy hat and cig. He does look odd with those other guys. Reminds me of the little Sesame Street thing...

One of these things is not like the other
Can ya guess which thing is not like the otherrrr...
Tell me before my song is done...

Oh geez...well, the song *kinda* went like that. Hah.

Anyhow. He was fun to draw!

Well cool. He was actually really easy to draw. Lots of character.

Awesome! I actually thought the neat thing about Gershwin was how he looks so blandly normal, and yet he doesn't look boring. You still manage to infect him with a personality.

What a crazy group. Hey, this must make for good practice drawing different character types, right?

Thanks!
'Infect...' I like that way of describing it....hehe
Gersh was the hardest just for that very reason. He just (unlike most of those musician types) looked so...normal.

And yes, it really is good practice.

Gosh, I'm so glad I found you! These cartoon'd composers are so adorable, they would cheer me up any day. I'm interested to see what you would do with Vincent Persichetti, not just because he's my favourite composer, but your style is just too cute.

Also, I imagined there being a Jazz version of this. I mean, there's orchestral, and the next thing I thought of was jazz. In your style, Ellington, Basie... Guillespie [with exaggerated cheeks!] etc. I think it would be fun practice if you were to consider it. :>

hankinstein In reply to Petsuchos-Isis [2008-10-08 15:48:10 +0000 UTC]

Hey I'll consider it!

Thanks so much! Glad you like them. I sure have a blast drawing them. And I will try and get your guy drawn (Persichetti). I have already gotten so many more requests for these!

Thanks again!!

These are adorable ^-^
I feel like giving Gershwin and Shostakovich a big hug xD

If you want to do more of these, I'd love to see Percy Grainger and Benny Goodman... and Gustav Holst :]
Only if you feel like it of course
