You certainly capured Layne's "foot stomping with simultaneous head shaking" and Jerry's "shiny hair head toss."
And if it helps, I totally recognized Courtney Love instantly in that one you hate. If it helps. ::shrug::
I gave up trying to draw celebrities after that ill-fated New Kids On the Block obsession of my pre-pubescence. I created a giant and elaborate picture of Donnnie Wahlberg and was mocked so mercilessly that I had to chase one 7th grad boy down and punch him in the stomach.
If only I had come along a few years later and been introduced to those fresh new hormones during the grunge era. Thankfully, my latter obsessions are much less embarassing. In fact, I'm proud of the bands I loved in high school. Mostly. Er...
In high school, I won some awards for art projects and stuff. We had an all-school art show one night and my English teacher came up to me the next day and told me that my sculptures gave her little girl nightmares after the show.
I consider that a success. :-)
I remember some of my favorites included a sculpture I called "Gingerbread People" that featured a bunch of small screaming caricature-like people laid out on a tray like cookies. They were burnt on the bottom too. Heh.
I also did a vampire head sculpture. He's leaning back and baring his fangs with this long black hair falling behind him. He looks evil, but also kinda like he's in pain. Unfortunately, the art room was for K-12 and the little kids came in and broke off his fangs right after he came out of the kiln. So those are super-glued on.
And I still have the painting we had to do based on an image of a super-model from a fashion magazine. We got to pick the photo, so I snagged a Kate Moss pic of her in a stovepipe hat and gothy black lace collar. I painted her all in black and white with heavier shadowing to make her look even more skeletal. Then I made her lips bright red. I realize now that the proportions were all fucked up. I wish I could re-do it but oh well. I think I achieved my goal of making "super model = corpse" that I (resentful fat girl) was going for.
