Caricature of the week - Christopher Walken by Sebastian Kruger

He's undoubtedly the main inspiration for most caricaturists today; Sebastian Kruger's paintings are true works of art, each one painstakingly rendered to the point of photo-realism, sometimes making it hard to believe that they are not just digitally manipulated photographs.

This is one of my favourites, although it was hard to choose between them all. Christopher Walken has a great face, and one that is very difficult to caricature (I've tried, with little success). Kruger has got this one spot on, not only capturing the likeness to a T, but also the presense and atmosphere surrounding him, so really leaps off the canvas at you.

Kruger remains my greatest source of inspiration when I feel like nothing is working. He really is the king of caricature. Click on the image to see it on Sebastian Kruger's website, Krugerstars.
