but busy as a bee…
Any thoughts on who I should be sketching next?
The following are currently on my interest list:
You are welcome to leave your suggestions:) And of course, your stories for the Blog Carnival too…I’m dying to read some interesting original fiction. (The newest story can be read here.)
And Oh…if you are an Indian (or if you love India) you should stop by my friend Gorakh Nath Ji’s Indian Fiction and Humor blog. He’s dead but more spirited than many of the living. If you are an Indian and a woman – find Vicky on his blog and follow him (don’t ask me why…discover it yourself!)
Meet Gorakh Nath Ji:
Find him at: http://karelasplit.wordpress.com
Smile away, even if you don’t DRAW to SMILE!
Shafali's Caricatures, Portraits, and Cartoons 
sorry I’m late in the discussion. For the record, Shafali, Mr Depp is #3 on my Hollywood sexiest actors list, after Brad (that you have already caricatured) and my Muse – no, don’t caricature HIM, thank you! 😉 Unless you ask ME first from which movie I want him, haha! 😀

well, I prefer him with longish hair, so either from The Replacements or from Something’s gotta give… Like I say, when I’ll be Diane Keaton’s age and a gorgeous 35-year-old walks to me saying “I’m your biggest fan”, I won’t turn him down for the Jack Nicholson of the moment! 😉 Unless, of course, in the meantime I marry my Muse… 😀

Nope, not his best look. He even wears sunglasses, when his eyes… *sighs, moans, etc* If you want pics, just ask me, I’ll send them over, maybe the ones I’ve drawn myself, and then I’ll make a post linking to yours like I did with Mr. Pitt/Achilles! 😉

I don’t like pirate Johnny. He is uncouth and boorish it it. The only saving grace was Keira Knightley. Please sketch her sometime 🙂

Ah…women and men are from different planets. I guess women are attracted to witty, humorous, and chivalrous men, despite their untidy, unkempt appearances. I should confess that I’d never have cared for Johnny Depp had he not become the pirate.
About Keira Knightley…I do draw stick figures sometimes…so your suggestion is duly noted.
Thanks for stopping by with your candid opinion on Mr. Depp – I appreciate it a lot:)

Wow Shafali….
Both Oprah and Leo are some of Gram’s favorite people…..so either would be a welcome addition ta yer blog and caricature list.
I am tryin’ ta think up a story fer yer contest…but I’ve been havin’ a bit of brain drain. This old noggin’ isn’t as productive as it once was. What with the elections comin’ up and me havin’ ta help Gram choose just the right candidate fer the job…why it’s just mind-bogglin’. It’s such a shame that these old people need the help of the younger generation ta get by taday…….yep…..without us they would be sittin’ in chairs starin’ inta space all day……with nothin’ ta do…….what a waste…..fer sure……
