A pen & ink drawing in the cross hatch technique of the late James Cagney...I love the old black & white Hollywood movies & Cagney is one of my favorite actors from that era.He was especially famous for his gangster roles but its said he liked to refer to himself as "just a song & dance man".

Another great portrait and one of my most favorite actors. You really captured his 'bad ass' persona. Would love to see one of his more friendlier characters as well. Great work!!Eddy collins 20 Aug 2006
