Salvaged from the Realist Archive Project, here are my 1965 drawings of Dick Gregory, Woody Allen and Steve Allen. I'll forego my usual background notes on my work because I actually only have a vague memory of doing these. I do know that of all my contributions to The Realist, this was the only time Paul Krassner gave me an assignment to do portraits. Perhaps Bruce Stark was an influence here. As I recall, Stark did regular single column ink portraits during the 1960s for the Daily News in addition to his caricatures and sports cartoons. He was a staff artist at the Daily News for more than two decades.
