Curio: Stanley Chow's Curvilinear Caricatures

Alexa here. UK illustrator Stanley Chow is one of my favorite pop caricaturists.  It's great fun to follow his flickr as he is quite prolific, adding posters and portraits weekly, all in his signature modern, curvilinear style.  His Mad Men character tributes were so successful that the Lions Gate lawyers forced him to stop selling them. Here is a selection of his film portraits, many of which are for sale at his shop. Snap 'em up before more lawyers get involved!

Some of these are absolutely brilliant, thank you Alexa! I am not a HUGE fan of TRT (although I enjoyed and admired it, and thought it some of Gwennie's best work in a very long while - not a huge fan of her's, either) but there is something oddly compelling in the Margot poster, in the subtle characterization of the woman-child. (I wonder if my brother, a Bond fan from back in the day, would enjoy that poster?) At any rate I hope Stanley is able to keep working at it.
