George
Model, Currently Employed Elsewhere

Being caricaturists, we needed a feature rich face to practice our skills. After going through hundreds of "candid-ates" we found our man who had perfect features combined with unusual expressions. Check out his mug on the right. On top of everything he had "back bone" and the coolest accent. Around the turn of the century/millenium his brother and his dad's buddies lined him up a full time gig south of the border so we see him on rare occasions now. He even made a name himself overseas doing his thing. We have been told however to distance ourselves from him asap.
