Caragiale and Stanescu


I've been chipping away at a list of great Romanian writers for the cartoonist rights network in Bucharest.
They have been compiling caricatures of literary icons for a few years now and the massive shows they put on are something I need to see in person one day. Lots of fine contributors from around the globe.
I've made new quick watercolours of Caragiale, a founding father of Romanian satire and Stanescu, a giant of late 20th century poetry. Both men are highly regarded by all walks of life in Romania.
It's fine practice to try and knock off likenesses of these gents.

...breathtaking. Refined likenesses - both! Incredible talent.
