What are they even doing? The face is so long... more like Sarah Jessica Parker or Celine Dion. It's not like drawing caricatures on the boardwalk. If you mess up, just start over.
These are not caricatures. They don't even make for good portraits because the likeliness is so poor. I was Justin 'Squigs' Robertson was doing the Sardi's caricatures. I love his work.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur

"Elizabeth Moss holding a caricature of Nicole Kidman. "
Haha! Spot on! Someone posted a picture on Instagram mostly to laud her inscription, "This is for Wendy, my heroine for the 21st," which is lovely, but all I could think of was nice drawing, I guess I never realized Elisabeth Moss looked like that.

Amen! They aren't caricatures OR portraits. If the artist isn't going to do the exaggerated caricature style, at least draw something that actually looks like the person.
Exactly. Neither. There's a guy who works from a bench outside the Central Park Zoo who would be worth looking up. But I doubt he has the proper "connections".
I thought Lauper was holding up a picture of Dolly Parton. A not-so-great caricature of Dolly Parton, but one nonetheless. First thing I thought was Nine to Five.
I've never been to Sardi's, do the portraits have a little description saying who it's supposed to be? Or is it some sad game of "Guess Who?" that no one ever wins?
