#10 in my series. Anyone who’s talked to me in the past two weeks knows that I have become completely unhealthily obsessed with K-pop group BIGBANG. I went from totally indifferent to president of their VIP club overnight. I want to be them (well, T.O.P) - and already know which member I want to replace in the group, should they ask. Eventually I will create an illustration of all five of them, but their clothes are so damn detailed that I am starting out with T.O.P and G-Dragon - who in my opinion are the essence of BIGBANG. This is their look from the “Bad Boy” video.
I’ve added them to my Society6 page, and I might have to buy this T.O.P phone case once I get an iPhone (it’s not that lame to buy something of your own right??).

#9 in the series. TLC from “Waterfalls.” I think CrazySexyCool is the first CD I ever owned, back in 1994. I remember I liked them so much I drew portraits of them…starting with T-boz, then Left Eye, then ran out of patience for Chilli. Making up for that now…
Up on Society6 soon.

#8 in my series. Vogue - Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, and Andre Leon Talley in his signature…robe cape thing. I know I said I would release one of these every Friday, but I’ve been away for a couple weeks! Also, I added some extra shading and details on this one to make up for it.
I will add these to Society6 this weekend as well.

Wonka - Ricky Kwong
#7 of my series. One of my favorite movies growing up, and one that I still love. “Pure Imagination” is on my ipod. The boat scene seems to scare a lot of people, but I’ve always liked it, even as a kid (not surprising).
Available on Society6.

Selena & Selena Killer - Ricky Kwong
#6 in my series. A Valentine’s special…I do not understand why I have a strange affinity for Selena and Selena Killer…this minor obsession has sustained itself for well over five years, I don’t think it’s just a phase.
Anyway, Selena Killer has never looked so cute. Bitch.

Summer Heights High - Ricky Kwong.
It’s Friday, so time for a new release in my series. Here is #5, Summer Heights High. Maybe a bit more obscure than my previous sets, but those who know of it seem to be die hard cult followers. It was fun to do this group; because just like the show, all three characters actually have the exact same face.

Golden Girls - Ricky Kwong
#4 in my series. I was excited to see what the combination of cutesy baby dolls + old ladies would look like, and I’m happy to say…just as I expected. And I apologize, Bea Arthur, I just couldn’t resist making you comically giant.

The Argentinean, multi-talented Juan Gatti is generally known as a commercial photographer and graphic designer, often collaborating with film director Pedro Almodovar. His lesser known work includes anatomy drawings of human body in combination with the taxonomy of plants and of exotic animals.
