courtney love
I have to have some famous Americans in my portfolio. I hope I can make nine, in another block, like the one I have already, with non famous non Americans. Yes, Canadians too, I can draw famous Canadians too. You can make suggestions in the comment box. I could do Neil Young. No, not Céline Dion. Bob Dylan and Madonna (not Canadian, I know) are very drawable. Come on, name me some more.

Posted by: Lloyd at June 22, 2004 08:56 PMi am not famous...but i am canadian...and i have a great smile!
ha
or well you could do trudeau, joni mitchell, the kids in the hall, ummm...and Margaret Laurence (my all time fav.)
Wat dacht je van Eva Hoffman. Import Canadese weliswaar, maar toch.
Eva Hoffman emigreerde vanuit Polen naar Canada en ontdekte dat zij een nieuwe identiteit moest aanmeten in de nieuwe taal.
Het boek dat zij erover schreef "Lost in translation" is het meest intelligente boek over taal en de betekenis ervan voor onze identiteit, dat ik ooit gelezen heb.

Zo. Maar J.D. Salinger is ook een goeie, vooral de jonge.

Posted by: Robot Johnny at June 23, 2004 11:10 AMHmm, thinking of interesting faces.
Bette Midler
Oprah Winfrey
John Malkovich
Jim Carrey (isn't he Canadian?)
Noah Wyle
Alex Kingston (okay, she's English but she's in an American soap and would make a great subject)
More later!
Posted by: Daisy at June 23, 2004 11:18 AMHow 'bout some authors? Margaret Atwood has a great face, and so does Farley Mowat. And of course, the late great Mordecai Richler.
Posted by: patricia at June 23, 2004 11:24 AMHow about some famous Canadian visual artists? Bill Reid, Emily Carr, Jack Shadbolt, Gathie Falk come to mind though there are lots out there, also not quite so famous ones...
Posted by: Marja-Leena Rathje at June 23, 2004 12:14 PMHow about Faith Hill! I bet you would do her good!
Posted by: Joe at June 23, 2004 04:30 PMThank you everyone! Great help. I think I'm going to try some of Daisy's list first. I really need faces that stand out and that everybody knows. And yes, Jim Carrey is Canadian. Being Canadian is like being Belgian. As soon as somebody has made it, everybody forgets their nationality. Jaques Brel? René Margritte? Adolphe Sax?
Posted by: eliane at June 23, 2004 07:57 PMAlissa Milano, Drew Barrymore, Michelle Pfeifer, Sigourney Weaver, Susan Sarandon, Bono, Conor Oberst, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Kiefer Sutherland, Andy Warhol, Prinses Di, Mahatma Ghandi, Kevin Spacey
Posted by: Aliëtte at June 23, 2004 09:05 PMAvril Lavigne, Sam Roberts, Leonard Cohen, Mike Myers, Jack Layton, and there has to be a hockey player : Wayne Gretzky, or José Théodore the Montréal Canadians goalie ? In the category of people we don't like but who would make a good drawing : I agree about Celine Dion, also Don Cherry is pretty colorful.

Terry Fox
Mr. Dressup
Avril Lavigne
By the way, I find your work so inspiring! I simply love it!
de politici-Paul Martin, Jack Layton, Steven Harper en zelfs Gilles Duceppe zijn zeer dankbare onderwerpen. Ook de vrouwen-Adrienne Clarkson (Her Eggs), Avril Lavigne (zij kijkt altijd zo donker!), Barbara Hall (heb je al gedaan!) en verder zijn alle beroemde diva's reeds genoemd door andere fans van je site!

Am i too late? Although she's neither, i'd love to see what you could do with Cate Blanchett... she's got such a distinctive face.
