Next in the queue for meds at Nurse Ratched's booth is Bruce Frederickson, played by Vincent Schiavelli. He doesn't say or do much in the film but...

Chief Bromden
I don't normally do this but I've done a third marker painting in a day. This is The Chief, played by Will Sampson. He seemed the character most...
Martini
Fourth up is Martini (I can't find his first name) played by Danny DeVito. This film is just packed with names. I've done Martini in purple just...
Billy Bibbit
Number three in the collection is Billy Bibbit, played by Brad Dourif. I've used the green marker here, reflecting Billy's innocence. Likeness...
Max Taber
Next up is Max Taber, played by Christopher Lloyd. Probably the scariest of all the patients in the film, like an unexploded bomb. It was a no...
Randle McMurphy
Another big collection of marker portraits on the way. This time it's eight patients from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, one of the greatest...
13 September 1999
After yesterday's news that I won't be wildcarding it at LAOTY and the arrival of two new Artgraf colours, today was always going to be an Artgraf...
Doctor Zachary Smith
Sometimes I receive messages and I just have to act on them. I had the telly to myself last night and managed to find a 1960 episode of The...
Billy The Kid
I felt like doing a portrait today. I've been doing a lot of landscapes in an attempt to impress LAOTY judges (newsflash: I've not made it to a pod...
Damn You All To Hell!
Now this is a landscape that's been on my to do list for a while. It's the closing scene from the original Planet Of The Apes film back in...
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin
There was a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big, he was strong, in his eyes a flaming glow. Most people looked at him with terror and with...
CasD
After needing to take two attempts at painting the Earp brothers, I felt like I'd wasted a day of my life, so after finishing the corrected...
The Earps
After discovering Friday's disaster I wanted to come up with a proper painting of The Earps as quickly as possible. This was finished ar about...
Three Famous Gunslingers
<Edit: The day after I painted and posted this one I found that I'd screwed up. The guy on the right is Frank James, not Virgil Earp. That...
Ally MacLeod
A grim day today with a power cut in the morning and then no WiFi when the power came back on so I'm grabbing a sneaky coffee in Costa while I...
Joe Walsh
Today's painting is a portrait of Joe Walsh of The Eagles, someone who in his heyday was probably even more fun at parties than Frank Bough....
Frank Bough
Of all the celebrities ever to have been disgraced after being caught in a tabloid sting, Frank Bough is the most likely to raise a smile and the...
Brian Clough’s Finger
I thought I'd have a go at painting Brian Clough today. It was always going to happen at some point. I had a choice between source photos and...
Ardbeg Distillery
I'm back to painting distilleries. Today it's the Ardbeg Distillery on the island of Islay. I've deviated a bit from my normal rule here as I...
A Clockwork Orange
Another watercolour today. This is based on a publicity shot for A Clockwork Orange, a famous 1971 Stanley Kubrick film. With the white face and...
