Filed under: Rock Stars, Rock Stars
The papparazzi lurk hidden in bushes outside of Los Angeles hot spots, waiting for the moment their celebrity prey begins to exhibit any behavior outside the norm of Hollywood power and glamour. These photos end up in tabloids under headlines such as, “Celebrity Flaws Exposed!!” and the magazines fly off the shelves. If paparazzi photos sell tabloids, imagine how they could be used to sell movies, concerts, CDs and books! I hear the entertainment industry has been lagging in sales, so perhaps they might consider a new approach to marketing. I saw this National Enquirer photo of Rod Stewart picking his nose in public while wearing a billowing white linen “puffy shirt” and my mind spun with possibilities. This is first in my series “Operation Paparazzi”. More to come soon…

Pretty. I love celebrity nosepickers! Watching Dave Matthews mine for nuggets at the Wallingford QFC one evening is my favorite celebrity spotting ever.
Rod Stewart has always creeped me out because he looks exactly like my High School gym teacher! Who is (or was) female. This is a great picture, 14. Love the use of pink.

Brilliant as always, 14. You captured his icky hair wonderfully. One of his skanky daughter would be a good follow-up.

Hmmm, I wonder if the white pinkie bandage is a sort of Nelly-esque tribute to a loved one?

Is that a pinkie ring? Or a Band-Aid ™ applied to the offending finger after the vacuum inside his head sucked it (thwooooopp!!!) waaaaay up into the pencil sharpener hidden inside his nasal passage?
Smashing artwork, as always. I can almost taste the greeeziness of the hair.

Jesus in assless aquamarine chaps, you’ve hit it again! And of course you wed this genius concept with a near-(but deliciously not-quite) photo-realistic genius caricature.
What a piece of work the guy is. The last time Stewart’s relevance and talent intersected was when I was two (circa “Maggie May”, and that was a LOONG time ago, kids). He looks like a real-estate agent with a bad dye job and a bantam rooster attacking her head. And godDAMN does his wheezy muppet-gargling-Ajax cough of a voice need a trek to the audio glueworks! Earth to idiots buying his CD’s of standards: FUCKING STOP TAKING PROZAC AND BUY A FUCKING FRANK SINATRA DISC IF YOU’VE REALLY FUCKING ‘OUTGROWN’ ROCK AND ROLL AND WANT TO HEAR FUCKING STANDARDS SUNG BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN A FUCKING ARTISTICALLY-AND- PHYSICALLY-SPENT FUCKING HACK. There; rambling rant finished…
Computers just need a key that registers the word, “Genius” with a single keystroke. Between me and the rest of your growing cult, said key’d get a lotta mileage in comments to you…

ewww, wonder if he ate it… that would have been REALLY sexy.
no biggie though - even rod NOT picking his nose is a total turnoff to me.

LOL Awesome PIC-ture.These aging rockers are such fools.Its so funny to me these guys and women who try and dress,wear their hair and act like they did 20yrs ago.The funniest thing to me though is they think they look good.

LOVE the turkey neck! Smashingly accurate features, 14! Especially the nose/chin area. Sorry Rod the Bod…I loved ya way back when. Do blondes have more fun? Fun at picking goobers I guess.

That’s classic. I totally agree with Beau, most older rock stars seem to be in denial about their age. I wonder if they have mirrors in Senior Citizen centers…?

I’ve always been creeped out by Rod Stewart and I just have to say
His voice reminds me of cats’ piss.
If Rod Stewart’s voice had a smell, it would be the smell of cats’ piss. If cats’ piss could sing, it would sound like Rod Stewart.
A fascinating epiphany eh? That is the sensation his voice conjures up.
Now I am going to try and forget what I said, so I don’t get sick.

Aging rock stars…now there’s a subject. There ought to be a “What Not to Wear” for these folks. Or maybe just “How Not to Style Your [thinning] Hair”.
Mr. Plant, are you receiving me?

Interesting to see that “Rock Stars” use their pinky. I’m guessing it has that extra long “coke scooping” fingernail.

Hi i’ve been a lurking fan for ages… but in the light of Cocaine Kate’s whoopsie i have to urge you to do something on her. She’d make a great caricature… the bulldog-chewing-a-wasp sneer… rolling,vacant eyes… limp, greasy hair… please do it!
Seriously though, your work is great, you should apply to get your work shown in paper or mag if you haven’t already.

I was wondering why you haven’t done Kim Stewart, or did I miss it? I’d love to see your portrayal of her. How about one related to the removal of her implants?

The Wallingford QFC! Oh How I miss Seattle!
Anyhow, I second the request for you to do Kim Stewart. We all know she is really a drag queen….
