The likeness between them is rather too strong to be coincidental! Brother and sister, maybe?

I just got into the show recently and found a bunch of great stuff online about it. Here's an interesting interview with Stanley: http://thebiz.fancast.com/2008/05/watching_tv_leslie_david_baker.html Thanks for the post.

It was fun to do. I agree with Cathy that making the show such a limited series was great judgement. I just ordered the shows on DVD. I have a few more drawings in this style coming up.

I want to see you draw Dwight Schrute from the NBC Office show. He is a nut. Nice work on those two. I want to see you draw Dwight Schrute from the NBC Office show. He is a nut.

I especially like the one of Gareth. I thought the Office was one of the best series I have seen in a very long time. The acting ability and superb timing of the cast was phenomenal. Like you I cringed more than once with embarrassment but that didn't stop me getting both series on DVD. I think it was a masterly stroke by Ricky Gervais to end it after such a short time. It kept it fresh and memorable. I have seen one episode of the US version and there was no comparison. I think their type of humour is not right for it to work successfully. Anyway, great drawings here. Would like to see David Brent and Dawn. These portraits are excellent. I especially like the one of Gareth.

I am glad you like the drawings. I've been working on a couple more. I haven't seen the US version of the show. I don't think I want to. I can't imagine that it could be as good as the original. Thanks for all your comments. I cherish every one. Thanks everyone! I am glad you like the drawings. I’ve been working on a couple more. I haven’t seen the US version of the show.

Love the gray Pitt pen for shading. I never watched the show and don’t know the characters – but I think your face drawing skills are amazing. Love the gray Pitt pen for shading.
