I don't think that looks ANYTHING like Jessie! I couldn't believe when I saw the article. Damn shame.
As for recent ones, I noticed Judy McLane's looks pretty similar but other that, everything else is pretty poor.

Posted: 3/29/15 at 8:45pmWhat 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.

Posted: 3/29/15 at 9:06pmOh my god the one of NPH is positively dreadful. They used to actually resemble the people, what happened??

Posted: 3/29/15 at 9:17pm^Really?! His is actually one of the better ones. You can tell who it's supposed to be.

Posted: 3/29/15 at 10:03pmYou can tell that it's kind of supposed to be him, but it's not good.

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.

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."

"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?

^I don't think so, but all the stars sign the portraits so if you can read or recognize the signature, that's your answer.

I see a little James Marsden in there.
