Description
I'm posting the finished product from my study of Tom Hanks which was on my previous blog post. It's kind of a part 2 of "A Parody" with Obama on the bench. The original file is huge. I did it large in case it needs to be printed. The open PSD is 1.41 GB in size but this iMac handled it like a champ. My Cintiq 21" wacom came in towards the end of this manipulation so I didn't use it much on this one. The next caricature will be done on the Cintiq for sure. It's an awesome piece of equipment. I didn't realize it was going to be so big and heavy. I ordered a table mounted adjustable arm for it today. That way I'll be able to lean back and relax in my chair while I work.

Yeah, man. you should be able to lounge as you vigorously and painstakinly sweat it out. Glad to hear the mac is is doin you justice bro. so can i look forward to more worx? funny this pic... i was just watching Princess Bride, which really introduced Elizibeth Wright to the world of film. She then played Jenni in Gump and went on to do some strange rolls, afterwards. i only remember her since in films, except for a few spots every now and then, like gone in 60 seconds for a short roll, and a really short spot in crash with Ewan MacGregor. Anyways, love this piece.
