Cincinnati native C.F. Payne is an internationally renowned illustrator and caricaturist who’s work has appeared on covers of prominent publications like @Time Magazine, the “Molly” books of the American Girl series, and a series of postage stamps featuring famous singers. In 2011 Payne created a tribute to participants in Cincinnati’s rich cultural legacy, including a portrait of Leontyne Price, the first African American to become a leading artist for @MetOpera, performing the lead in Aida. Talented local artist and muralist Jenny Roesel Ustick was then tasked by Artworks Cincinnati with translating Payne’s artwork for the side wall of CET, the local PBS affiliate, on Central Parkway across the street from the city’s historic Music Hall—leading a team of three teaching assistants and 15 youth apprentices.  @cfoxpayne  @j_r_ustick  @artworkscincy  

..Because editorial illustration is fun and someone might hire me someday to paint this guy for their magazine! “Mr. President” (11 x 14, Acrylics/Oils/Watercolor/Colored Pencils on Illustration Board) More weekend fun practice using parts of the C.F. Payne technique! This time I tried out a sheet of Hi-Line 218 Medium Weight Illustration board from a stack gifted to me when KNB was cleaning out one of its earlier shops back in the early 90’s. The stuff is pretty good! #editorialillustration #illustration #cfpayne #donaldtrump #littlehands #caricature #politicalcartoon

New addition to the art collection - Bunnicula by CF Payne #cfpayne #bunnicula #illustration

First sketch of 2018! Since his was the first book I grabbed off the pile of SF paperbacks we picked up this weekend, AND I received some lovely 8x10 canvas birds from my S-I-L for Xmas, the cantankerous Harlan Ellison (8x10, Acrylic/Watercolor/Oil on Canvas Board) had to be my afternoon project! #harlanellison #portrait #cfpayne #caricature #exasperated #eyeroll #sketch #sf #author

Another Payne style sketch this time on Watercolor Paper. “Jeff Goldblum” (11 x 15, Oil/Acrylic/Watercolor/Colored Pencil on Watercolor Paper) I didn’t quite stick the landing with the likeness but overall I like it. The Watercolor Paper is a great surface and much easier to scan! #caricature #portrait #cfpayne #jeffgoldblum #actor #ianmalcolm #pianoman #pianofingers
