A Short Film documenting a chapter in the life of Gary Fasen, a legendary but publicly obscure caricature artist that inspired the lives and careers of countless artists.

Have you ever met an obscure legend?

I made this video six years ago, a labor of love and gratitude, for my great mentor and friend, Gary Fasen. In it, you'll see several of my colleagues and brethren speak about the man who changed all of our lives.

If you have 30 mins, please take a moment to meet the man that thousands of caricature artists owe a tremendous gratitude. I know I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him. Still not sure if that's a good or bad thing ;P
