Mort Drucker is an artist who has had to face the terror of blank paper countless times in his career, and conquered every time. His caricatures for Mad magazine and other venues have been an inspiration to millions. Here, a diverse group of famous mugs gather—posing for a cover of Familiar Faces: The Art of Mort Drucker.
It's amazing what some people can do with a simple pen and bottle of ink - brilliant. I recognize everyone there except the guy with the eye patch. Thanks Thomas - really fun.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

There can't be anyone who does what Mort Drucker can do better than him. What an artist.
I believe Mr. Eyepatch is James Joyce. I've loved Mr. Drucker's work since childhood.
