Portraits by Sebastion Kruger

A nice article introducing me to Sebastian Kruger who draws really detailed and realistic portraits that are actually caricatures.  I especially like the one of Steve McQueen below.

“I like the dark side of people’s character,” Krüger says in English that, while halting, is easier on the ears than Schwarzenegger’s. “Or I like to find out if there is a dark half. I like painting people like Vincent Van Gogh, William S. Burroughs, Keith Richards or even Marilyn Monroe. These people are very special to me. I feel very close to them. I’m very bored with all these entertainers with white teeth — where everybody is in good health and is so nice — I kind of don’t like it!” he laughs.”
