Henry Waxman Reunited With Twin Brother

There are those misguided souls who think Henry Waxman looks like a bat. They are wrong.

Henry Waxman looks like his long lost twin brother, with whom he was reunited this week.

His brother chose to retain the original family name of Potatohead.

As you can see the similarity is simply stunning.

Waxman is on the right. I think.

Caricature of Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California

Using an image from my previous post, I made a more recognizable caricature using Photoshop. In this case I simply copied and pasted his ears, then enlarged them to exaggerate them. I did the same with his nose. Finally, I used the Dry Brush filter to give it more of a painted look.

Use as you see fit.

If you liked this Photoshop, take a look at one I did on Harry Reid some time ago.

Henry Waxman: Fun With Photoshop

The wireless is still working for now, but I am confined to my upstairs office while they install new flooring below. I watched two South Park cartoons on my laptop and, still bored, decided to practice some Photoshopping.

I found a photo of Henry Waxman that I intended to savage, but figured I need to remove the microphone first, which blocked part of his face. See the before and after on the left.

Below is the same Photoshop with some artistic rendering applied. On the left the rendering is called "Poster Edges" and on the right "Dry Brush."

If you need help with a Photoshop project let me know. I have nothing much else to do these days as there are no jobs in sight; blogging, bass practice, reading and Photoshop are the contents of my day.

And finally, we erase the background and fill it with a nice light blue, then use Photoshop to exaggerate and distort Waxman's features to transform him into a caricature. To make it look more like art, I used the "Poster Edges" filter to finish it off. However, this caricature is probably too over the top: he looks like one of the zombies in "Night of the Living Dead." (Oh no, he'll eat our brains!) See above post for a better caricature.

Use as you see fit.
