Artist of the Day, February 5, 2022: Kevin Nealon, an American comedian, actor, and artist (#1489)

 Kevin Nealon (1953) is an American comedian, actor, and artist. He was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1986 to 1995, acted in several of the Happy Madison films, played Doug Wilson on the Showtime series Weeds, and provided the voice of the title character, Glenn Martin, on Glenn Martin, DDS.

Some people have all the talents. Comedian, actor, writer and artist Kevin Nealon is one of those people. Most of us know him from his days on Saturday Night Live, or from the Happy Gilmore movies and the Showtime Series, Weeds.

In recent years, Kevin has been gaining fans for his YouTube series, “Hiking with Kevin,” where he interviews celebs as they hike in the woods. But did you know he’s an accomplished caricature artist?

Actor, comedian Kevin Nealon has been posting what he calls his “sketches and doodles” at his Instagram for a couple of years. The early postings were mostly rough sketches and drawings, often of other actors, athletes, or other well known figures. However, more recently he has been posting much higher quality caricature paintings.

In a discussion with illustrator/caricaturist Jason Seiler, Nealon says that he began drawing as a child and has never really taken lessons or studied art. He says he learned by watching other people.

Nealon recently posted a painting in honor of the recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also posted a short video of what he calls his “home office art gallery exhibit.”
