Tony Stark by Celeste Cordova

A caricature of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Iron Man

Tony Stark

That face!  Those eyelashes!

There’s this ongoing tension at the caricature stand.  Should we display samples that perfectly represent what we can do in a few minutes, which is how much time we have to draw guests?  Or should we display samples that show what we can really do when we take our time?  This caricature is a great example of something that takes a lot of time… but it’s so pretty we just want to display it anyway.

Robert Downey Jr… we know he can play many different roles, but after being Tony Stark in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, The Avengers, and The Avengers 2, it might be hard for me to accept him as something new.

For a good time, watch Tropic Thunder with someone who does not know that Robert Downey Jr. is in the movie.  See how long it takes for them to spot him.
