Lupita Nyong'o: A Beauty Simply Out of This World © Neil Feigeles,  Illustrated in photoshop. Every so often a performer arrives that truly shakes up the status quo in regards to what beauty is. And as a person who prides himself in capturing likenesses, Lupita Nyong'o's seemingly perfect face was something I had to try to capture. 
To showcase her in space might seem odd, but the buzz on the internet is that Lupita, might be offered one of the leads in the next Star Wars film. And seeing that Lupita's beauty at least in my humble opinion is simply out of this world. Having her showcased amongst the stars seemed appropriate and different then what others might do. And honestly, I'm pretty happy with how the stars came out...

Lily and Herman Munster © Neil Feigeles, March 4, 2014, Illustrated in photoshop. This weeks sketch is of one of my favorite television couples ever. Growing up, the 1960's brought us many an enjoyable sit-com. But none, except possibly The Adams Family, successfully used the horror genre as The Munsters did. Its possibly why both, enjoyed as much commercial and pop-cultural success. As for me it was possibly the coolest show on television. Every character perfectly created to live in the shows TV world. And yes, I wanted Eddie Munster to be my friend! Fred Gwynne and Yvonne De Carlo both helped bring to life two of of the most amazingly enjoyable monsters to ever grace our television sets.
