Christopher Walken was a Lion Tamer

I participated in a Nicolas Cage themed art show over the summer, so when I heard there was a Christopher Walken themed show coming up in San Francisco, I had to participate!  I had learned that Christopher Walken was a lion tamer in a traveling circus when he was younger, so boom...that was my inspiration!

The Walken Situation: An all Christopher Walken Art Exhibit

Christopher Carny
on 3/4" pine, I sketched his likeness using charcoal and pastels
then I applied fabric to create his wardrobe
built out the hat and covered in faux leather
cut a whip in half and adhered it to the piece
coated in resin

The sketch begins


 adding fabric

 adding the whip
adding some shading
adding the resin

hung on the wall at the show





 I did a portrait of Christopher Walken that I decided to submit to the art show as well called "Regular Guy."
