Oh what luck, theres a french fry stuck in my beard. *nom nom nom*

I seem to recall once seeing some out-takes from an ad shot by Orson Welles for some cheap wine. He was drunk and kept flubbing his lines.

What was the inspiration for this utterly unexpected portrait of the artist as a not-so-young man?

It's a commissioned work, actually. I was asked to do a Welles caricature, and I had to ask "which one?", as drawing Orson Welles is much like drawing Elvis Presley, either looking very different at various points in their lives. (or just ask "do you want the young thin one or the old fat one?")

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH... The French!

You're right! Funny how i've never thought of Orson Wells that way before. heh ^!^

But Elvis wasn't the voice for Unicrom (Transformers the Movie) ^!^

Hahah! That scene always makes me laugh. I miss that show.

Hahahah nice

And rememer, there is no fishstick better than Mrs. Pell's fishsticks
Mmmm yes! Oh yes! They're even better raw!

Oh, yeah! Yes! They're even better when you're dead!

Oh god. I wanna like, unfave this just to refave it again and again

Do it.

I will. B]

"Remember,there's no fishsticks like Ms Pell's.*NOM NOM* Oh yes!They're even better when you're dead!"

Oh That's terrible! I QUIT!

just a handful for the road.

NYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH the French!

The REAL frozen Peas commercial http://youtu.be/V14PfDDwxlE

Eric.

Your Orson-Welles-rendering posture is highly dubious.

But very well.

A gorillion points for this.

I wouldn't direct any living actor like this in Shakespeare, the way you do this! It's impossible!

IN July?

-Hmm HMM hmmm YES! they're even better when you're DEAD!

Nice pic!

Awesome :D

But I have moved on to a better place. A place full of Ms. Pauls Fish sticks. *takes a bit * MMMM Yes YES!! They're even better when you're dead.

That's bizarre, I was just listening to the infamous Frozen Peas clip yesterday...

LOL! I'm so happy I'm not the only one who loves those lines X3>

Next do the Mrs Pells Fish Stick!

They're even better after 15 years X3>

LOL Slick tribute to good ol' "Citizen Cane", man.

Maybe I should do a tribute pic once in a while to keep in touch with what other people like? Any suggestions?

(*Golf Clap*) WELL done! Did you have plans on doing any more celebs?

Oh God.

They're even better when you're DEAD!

Oddly, he also looks like Evil Ricky Jay.

Yes! They're even better when you're DEAD!

Invading Martians don't phase him.

I find it hilarious that no matter what show they always get Maurice LaMarche to do his voice

Maurice LaMarche is to Orson Welles what Lorenzo Music is to Bill Murray.

Yesss! Always!

Read that in his voice. Excellent work!

Nobody knows business like Wells knows business. :V

Yes, they're alive but I have gone to a better place. A place filled with Mrs. Pells fishsticks.

Everyone born in the 80's and before applauds you sir. Everyone born in the 90s and after goes... what? This on Family Guy or something?

Fan-fucking-tastic. In concept, rendering and reference this is great.

"Rosebud... I mean SCHWING!"

"For a time, I considered sparing you're wretched little glass on wine. But now... you shall witness... it's ingestion!

"The right reading for this is the one I'm giving it..."

Oh no, it Unikron! how was he in that movie? Physically, how?

i imagine a scenario something along these lines:
"ok, it's the mid-80s and we need someone to convincingly play a planet. let's see, refrigerator perry is busy super bowl shuffling, nell carter's agent just keeps saying "gimme a break!" and andre the giant's answering machine message is just someone screaming "inconceivable!" repeatedly. hmm, looks like that "rosebud" guy is practically bedridden these days. perfect!, all we'll need is a "free buffet" sign and a forklift."

I <3 Orson Welles! (Says the Film Geek)

I don't have to take this, I have a fishstick commercial to film!


...Oh what the hell, I need the money.

I used to love Rosebud Frozen Peas, but they took them off the market for some reason. Maybe it was too much green peaness.

The actual drunken Paul Masson wine commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFevH5vP32s XD

lol, filled with green penis

I'll just take a handful before I go. Mm, there's a fishstick in my beard.

Gawd I loved The Critic

Ah The Critic, I remember that episode. Epic, just epic.

"I quit...well just one for the road, oh what luck...there's a french fry stuck my beard."

Yes, always.

Good old Orson Welles. I just hope I can manage to look that good when I start getting up there in years...

Higly well done. gratz!

Welles: Here under protest is "beef burgers." "We know a little place in the American Far West, where Charlie Briggs chops up the finest prairie-fed beef and tastes..." This is a lot of shit, you know that?…

Meanwhile, I can only post this hilarious parody that we all might also love.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlXEC8kcbqc
Everyone else posted everything else for that scene.

ROFL
Oh man, that's a hilarious line!

THis is an awesome character. I love his face, outfit even his build. Nice touch on the signature pocket hancky.

Is this an original character or did you base him off someone?

I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.

IT STINKS.

"YESSS!"

Incredible!

"We know a remote farm in Lincolnshire..."

If he was alive he might laugh at this.You do know he did the voice of unicron in the very first transformers movie right."PERHAPS I HAVE MISJUDGE YOU VERY WELL PROCEDE ON YOUR WAY TO OBIVION!!!!!!!"To me one of the best part was seeing.Megatron into galvatron.

I remember seeing a clip of an interview with Nelson Shin, who directed the movie. He commented that Orson's vocal recordings had to be sampled through a synthesizer and heavily modified, as Orson was in bad health at the time.

that guy looks like me in 30 years

Actually he kinda reminds me to Orson Welles.

Nicely done. :)

In case anybody is interested to know, Maurice LaMarche - the voice actor who did a dynamite Orson Welles impersonation (on both "The Critic" and "Pinky and the Brain") - recently won an Emmy Award for 'Best Voice Actor in an Animated Series'... Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-YYES!!!

Rooooosebud.

"Oh, what luck! There's a french fry stuck in my beard!" :D

Too awesome!

...I need to go dig up my Animaniacs DVDs now.

and yes, I know that the quote is from the Critic, not Animaniacs, but any combination of Maurice LaMarche and Orson Welles makes me think of "Yes, Always!"

ROFL, the Critic was so awesome <3

FRENCH FRY STUCK IN MY PEA-NESS

it begins

ah-AH-AAACKEM!

Bud light frozen beer. Wait that's terrable I quit! Maybe just a handful for the road (eats a bottle cap)

they're even BETTER RAW!

Mwaahaaa, the French!

What's interesting, is how a year later, this looks frighteningly like gramps Munster from the new show pilot of "Mockingbird Lane".

Unicron: I will devour earth but First you must try mrs pelle's planet sized fish sticks *om nom nom* Oh yes they're even better when raw

after the end credits *Unicron's spark absorbs a fish stick* Oh God yes they're even better when your dead

ROFL Figures I'd stumble across this within 24 hours of thinking about The Critic: "Rosebud! Yes! Rosebud Frozen peas! . . . Just a few for the road. These peas are even good frozen! Oh what luck! There's a french fry stuck in my beard!" ^!^ ROFL, again!

Rest in peas, I mean peace, Orson Wells.

The same thing we do every night Pinky... oh look, a french fry in my beard.

A rich, full-bodied wine sensibly priced at a dollar a jug!

YE-ESSS!!! They're even better when you're dead! 8{D

In July, peas grow there...

Muhaaa, the French!

The Critic was such an under-rated classic!
