Shawn Johnson - Beijing 2008 Olympics

More images of the Beijing Olympic Games, 2008. U.S. gymnast Shawn Johnson has won multiple medals during games of the XXIX Olympiad. And her large, toothy grin and tiny but muscular body (she stands at 4'9" and weighs 90 lbs.) make for a terrific caricature!

Michael Phelps - Beijing 2008

Taking a brief break from caricature art to catch the Olympic Games in Beijing and catch up on a few other projects. Seeing the phenomenon that is Michael Phelps in his quest for an Olympic record 8 gold medals inspired this caricature, taken from the 4 x 100 relay. Jason Lezak was the hero of that event with a world record time to beat the French team by the tiniest of margins. Which meant another gold for Phelps.
