What's a Bill Utterback? I couldn't have told you, but I remember the Playboy jazz poll caricatures, not that you mention 'em. <br /><br />Jeez, these are beautiful. Even the ones I don't know here have a specificity about them that tells you it looks <i>just like</i> that person - whoever he or she is. (I first saw Peter Lorre, Edward G. Robinson and Charles Laughton in Bugs Bunny cartoons when I was five. Those caricatures were SO vivid and specific that I knew them instantly later, when I started watching classic films.)<br /><br />Utterback's style reminds me a little of Al Kilgore. Also, I have a theory: You're not officially a caricaturist until you've done <i>at least one</i> Sammy Davis Jr.mike fontanellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685917448327606335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474063659930978111.post-55424837917807076602012-01-24T23:58:11.655-05:002012-01-24T23:58:11.655-05:00Jackie Curtiss was the primary booker, ontop of be...Jackie Curtiss was the primary booker, ontop of being a comedian hismelf, for the Playboy Club(s) for several years.Bob Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173098298949183691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474063659930978111.post-36337172211388217562012-01-24T20:59:09.664-05:002012-01-24T20:59:09.664-05:00These are wonderful!
