Chris Farley as a Hamsterby ~Gorrem

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / People / Portraits

"Wait a second... Devon drew this?" is the first question you ask. Understand this was an assignment for my illustration class, and all styles and experimentations are up for grabs when I execute them.

The assignment was to portray a famous person as an animal, any way we want. I chose Chris Farley as a hamster (it made sense at the time) and decided to present him in the various skits and characters he's done on SNL and his movies. However, it was important for me to end it very sadly, because his life ended in a tragic drug overdose/heart attack at the young age of 33. For me, he was one of the most beloved and entertaining comedians around, but his need to please others left nothing for himself and drove him over the edge.

For Chris, 1964-1997
