Nick Cave, Paddy Boehm.

German artist Paddy Boehm loves drawing people. Famous people. For the background and outlines of the face, Boehm uses acrylic paint. Boehm then uses pencil to create his exaggerated caricatures.

Lemmy Kilmister, Paddy Boehm.

Boehm has been drawing for most of his 35 years. At 15, he and his brother created a comic called “Zeitlupe” (or slow-motion). Among others, Boehm credits French comic artist Jean Tabary and German charicture master, Sebastian Kruger as two of his primary influences. If you’re in or near the West Coast, Kruger just announced that he will be leading two artist workshops, complete with live demonstrations, in California in April, 2009. The focus of the workshops will be portraiture and working with acrylics.
