by: Carter, Graydon and Kevin Sessums

Softcover. New York , Monacelli Press, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 224 pages, color illustrations throughout by Robert Risko. These celebrity caricatures are instantly recognizable -- recognizable both as unmistakable portraits of famous subjects and as examples of Risko's bold and fluid style. Risko's career was launched in 1978 when Andy Warhol gave him an assignment for Interview magazine. Since then he has drawn likenesses of hundreds of notables from the worlds of film, television, politics, and culture. In addition to countless images for Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and other major magazines, Risko has illustrated book jackets, video covers, movie posters, and CD packages. Very good plus.
