Close up of Adolphe-William Bouguereau by David Patel. Click for full image.

David Patel [blog] [myspace] [facebook] [deviantart] is a 21-year young Californian caricature artist at the San Diego wild animal park. His motto is “digital art isnt art“, so he uses traditional tools to create his artwork. The Bouguereau caricature shown above is one of the results. The image is loosely based on one of Bouguereau’s self-portraits, probably the one shown below.
