The first collection of celebrity portraits and caricatures from the pen of Drew Friedman.
With Too Soon? Friedman finally (none too soon, in fact) gets his due with this fat, beautiful collection that showcases his wide-ranging skills as a portraitist and caricaturist.
Too Soon? is evenly split between political celebrities and show-business ones, ranging from Friedmans instantly iconic Barack Obama as George Washington New Yorker cover to brutal depictions of Britney Spears and her tabloid-filling ilk.
Subjects (or targets, depending on how you look at it) for Friedmans pen on the political side include Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain, and George W. Bush (with an iconic W. as Strangelove image) and his gang. Entertainers include Tiny Tim, Barney Fife, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Jerry Lewis, the Three Stooges, Ellen DeGeneres, and Conan OBrien. And falling somewhere in the gray area between entertainers and political players (you make the call!) Rush Limbaugh (who blasted Friedmans George W. Bush image as being of low artistic quality), Sarah Palin, and Michael Moore.
The book will also include a running commentary by Friedman on the stories behind the drawings, including reactions from magazine editors, celebrities, and their fans. The cover is a stunning depiction of Michael Jackson. Too soon? Nah!
