Too Soon? Celebrity Portraits

Too Soon? Celebrity Portraits
- Used Book in Good Condition
The first collection of celebrity portraits and caricatures from the pen of Drew Friedman.
With Too Soon? Friedman finally (none â€œtoo soon,â€ in fact) gets his due with this fat, beautiful collection that showcases his wide-ranging skills as a portraitist and caricaturist.

Too Soon? is evenly split between political celebrities and show-business ones, ranging from Friedmanâ€™s instantly iconic â€œBarack Obama as George Washingtonâ€ New Yorker cover to brutal depictions of Britney Spears and her tabloid-filling ilk.

Subjects (or targets, depending on how you look at it) for Friedmanâ€™s pen on the political side include Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain, and George W. Bush (with an iconic â€œW. as Strangeloveâ€ image) and his gang. Entertainers include Tiny Tim, Barney Fife, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Jerry Lewis, the Three Stooges, Ellen DeGeneres, and Conan Oâ€™Brien. And falling somewhere in the gray area between entertainers and political players (you make the call!) Rush Limbaugh (who blasted Friedmanâ€™s George W. Bush image as being of â€œlow artistic qualityâ€), Sarah Palin, and Michael Moore.

The book will also include a running commentary by Friedman on the stories behind the drawings, including reactions from magazine editors, celebrities, and their fans. The cover is a stunning depiction of Michael Jackson. Too soon? Nah! 200 color illustrations
