Thx vm!!!

I think I've seen 2, 3 films with this guy, he's really hillarious... Good idea, Rick!

Yeah, he's famous for "Caddy Shack". My newest challenge is to thing of GOOD celebs that not many have drawn, ha!

Yeah, I also have some unexpected famous or not-so-famous people in my mind and my gallery. Now I'm willing to do a series of great drummers - I've already drawn Maiden's Nicko McBrain, wax crayon. Another one's on the way, with pencil.

great drummer drawing by the way!! Ever hear of Neil Pert from Rush?

Oh, no, I can't believe it! It's exactly on him I'm working!... It was a surprise, you, you...

U R kidding? It's prob the only drummer I know, besides John Bottom?

...Joking, it's OK! Really easy for you to guess, he's a genius, one of the best drummers of the world, if not the best... Oh, thank you for your comment on McBrain above!

Well, if Neil Peart is the only drummer you know, I must say you hit the mark, 'cause he's really a genius, plays various styles, Rock, Latin and Jazz at the same solo so naturally like no one!!! We're talkin'bout THE drummer...

I'll be sure to check it out when u finish!!

wow !! Excellent, it's really really beautiful drawing !!

TYVM!!!

Rick salvation ... this is the portrait as I expected .. it's really wonderful that close .. very original and unique (I love the original) .. very nice .. facial expression and this look is beautiful .. Very well designed at all points of view and in every detail ... Very very good work .. Congratulations and huge kisses Rick

Thanks Anne-Marie!! I had fun doing him. He was a favorite back in the early 1980's! I'm trying to think of good stars no one has drawn. I've thought of several, but finding a good pic of them is another thing!

Hi Rick .. how are you ?... not terrible for me right now .. I have no moral, I am not motivated to draw ... but I think a very big plan the beautiful Angelina Jolie that I'll post Sunday 12 April ORIGINALITY ... TE suit MERVEILLE RICK ... (you know j'aodre anything that is original) ... So I look forward to your next portrait .. It is a real pleasure to discover every time ... And for your drawing you deserve ample as it should be all these compliments (I love your drawing) Again congratulations and huge kisses Rick

no morals? Did you mean motivation, or is this another reference to naughty? I would LOVE to draw Angelina...As soon as I can think up a good reason to tell wifey why I'm drawing a woman she knows I have the hots for, I'll draw her, and probably spend more time than I should? I'm torn on which to draw next, I have SO many in mind I keep a list of 50+ next to draw. Was busy last night, and can't draw tonight cuz my son is playing in concert! spiritlessons.com/passionofchristpictures.htm Talk to you soon!

Not the moral of my privacy Rick ... this has nothing to do with the beautiful Angelina and nice (like me aileurs is not it Rick ... Your son is playing in concert is super cool .... I look forward to see new drawings from you Huge kisses

OH! Something got lost in translation!? I should post something new by Friday? Looking forward to your next one too!

I see your drawing Rick Friday April 17 ... I love what you draw (you're my cream) .. I post the Sunday April 19 ... I hope you will be there .. Huge kisses and Rick your whole family

"I'm your cream"?? now that MUST be a French saying? Looking forward to seeing yours Sunday!!

Hi Rick ... yes you are my cream, in french this expression means my favorite, my favorite (you are American and the English translation for you not you think I should not because the speech of American and English is different, you do not agree Rick. huge kisses Rick

awww thx A.M!!! I gotta tell you...u have a gift of encouragement! I see your posts all over the place. For you to spend THAT much time encouraging other artists is a great and giving heart!!! Take care sweety!!

Rick salvation you what a pleasure to read .. each time ... Actually I love to encourage and motivate artists and believe me that I spend a lot of time ... you like virtual kisses you because there is a french johncleef on this site which made me thinking "I do not like virtual kisses" it is not clear this man yuk .. Huge kisses Rick

Here is how I interpret what you just said. "Rick, it's a pleasure to read and re-read what you said about me, and I DO spend a lot of time encouraging artists. Do you like virtual kisses? Because there is an artist named Johncleef on here that does not, and I'm not sure if he's an asshole. Anyway...huge kisses to you!"

I spend a lot of time to encourage and motivate artists (I am very generous) and french johncleef is an asshole and it annoys me .. (his site is on the portrait of Marilyn) I prefer the U.S. .. they are most guys like you .. I really appreciate that ... and the viva AMERICA Huge kisses Rick

I read it, using an online french to english translator. As they say in America..."Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff" Kick his dust from your boots and move on. He was probably toilet trained too early as a kid

stupid man .. and not at all comic ... I do not like these people here ... (I am very comic)

Ooops...meant to give you this link: www.myspace.com/andrewbelle the other was still in my clipboard I gave to someone looking for high-res pics from the passion

OK ... thank you very much Rick .. You are very nice .. Huge kisses

so you're an art student huh? I'm jealous! I wish I had taken a differnt life path in art. I've been in real estate for 23 yrs and just started drawing 6 months ago I loved art as a kid, but just got into for the 1st time in my life and love it!! Good luck! I like your stuff!!

thank you very much! art is a passion! this passion can be discovered in 10 years or 40 years! the key is to give yourselves entirely in what you love! (I hope you understand my English, it is not very good).

Are you kidding? You could teach English to some most of the people here lol. I hear u on devotion to passion! Good luck and see you around

Great work, this guy always has the best expression and is instantly recognisable

hey thanks a lot!!!

You're very welcome
