		<title>Celebrities: Nicolas Cage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s my next celebrity example&#8230;pretty self explanatory.
On a side note, Ames IA was flooded last week.  I could not leave the city for 2 days.  Luckily I made it out in time to draw at Fayette Watermelon Days yesterday.

		<title>Celebrities: Tom Cruise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve decided I need more celebrity examples.  The last movie I saw at the theater was Knight and Day at the dollar theater.  Am I a real caricature artist now that I&#8217;ve drawn Tom Cruise?  &#8230;I didn&#8217;t make his front tooth prominent enough, maybe next time I&#8217;ll try from another angle.
