Continuing with a theme that I hadn't done with my E-Bay art till recently.
Illustrated with Deleter #4 Black Drawing Ink with Crow Quill Pen on Canson Smooth 9x12 Bristol Board.
Some of the faces created by Charles Spencer Chaplin including The Little Tramp which he is best known for, Adenoid Hynkel from The Great Dictator, Henri Verdoux from Monsieur Verdoux and Calvero from Limelight.
I had the Tramp and Hynkel giving each other a dirty look. This was inspired by a line from the biop Chaplin in which Douglas Fairbanks (played by Kevin Kline) tells Chaplin (played by Robert Downey Jr.) that Hitler stole his look from the Tramp. I thought it was a great idea and I wanted to visualize the Tramps disapproval of this defamation of character ;-)
