- In this film "Funny Bones" artist John Kascht gives us a behind the scenes look at the creation of his portrait of Conan O' Brien, explaining his artistic process and approach to caricature.
Kascht's portraits of Alan Greenspan and Warren Buffet can be seen in our exhibition "Twentieth Century Americans."
Presented by the National Portrait Gallery's "Gallery 360" series. For more on the video, see this article in the NPG's blog: face2face.si.edu/my_weblog/201...

I first saw this film in middle school and it really inspired me as a cartoonist. The shot of John Kascht sitting in on a meeting with Kevin Nealon and Conan O'Brien is so cool to me now because this film also introduced me to Conan - the best to ever do it.
Ha! I like how he starts sculpting and says, I haven't touched that for 20 years and then proceeds to sculpt a masterpiece... -___-
Not only is this video funny and informative, but I never once got bored. I can garauntee you that I will watch this again and again!
This is brilliant. What a thoughtful process
Can't believe I watched this whole thing, but now... I think I could listen to John Kascht speak at length about any of his subjects. But especially one as interesting as Conan. Just great!
I had the pleasure of meeting John last month. I was inducted into National Art Honor Society where he was the guest speaker. After that, I emailed him and he responded two days ago. He invited me and my friend to his studio to see our artwork and to have dinner!
He's such an awesome guy. I've been so giddy since he replied! I can't wait!!
I will die mad that this is not simply one episode in a dozen seasons of this.
I love how this was primarily a video about outlook and the thought process, rather than about technique itself. It's about seeing. Just fantastic, and inspiring, even if you're doing a completely different style!
This is phenomenal.
wonderful! I was skipping the video towards the end. Just to see the cartoon...but after the analysis, and the story telling...I had to watch the whole video! Wonderful artist.
There is no more worthy a subject for an artist and a docu like this than Conan O'Brien. This is incredibly done.
Coco, you are one of a kind
Very well done, and brilliant to boot. You have immense talent, and honorable respect for your subjects. Thank you for this.
I loved the black and white portrait of Conan better than the final one. Very nice to see the process in depth though.
That's a really amzaing likeness of Conan!!!
really great stuff. very awesome
Wow, the precision of the physical description would almost seem insulting in any other context - but this is AMAZING... and "cone bone" is great!
Love this video.
This is gold. My mind, BLOWN.
You're a very talented artist and sculptor. I'm also a big fan of Conan, so this really made my day.

Im happy to see talented artist show their way of working. This video really shows a lot of the whole working process and specificly points out how long time everything takes to make. Thx John for sharing this with us!
WOW!! Thank you John! You have an amazing talent, you have combined the two skills that I wish I had, the ability to draw like you and the natural ability to be funny and make others laugh like Conan does
Wow, first time watching your video. Amazing how well you dive into not only their features, but almost the meaning of every detail of the portrait. Amazing work.
WOW! Amazing, i feel like i just took a lecture on Conan, i loved this video, i feel like i learned so much about him, iv always loved Conan iv been watching him since i was a kid, hes the only talk show host i watched, i never cared about guests i just love the guy and hes jokes. LONG LIVE COCO!!!!
I enjoyed this very much.
Fascinating.
In more ways than one.
I want more of this...
This is true art
I can relate to this exactly! Very well said.
Fascinating.
Mesmerising stuff.
Thought we might've seen Conan's reaction at the end.
That was awesome!
Wow. Just........WOW ! Amazing artist. I just started painting in watercolor and I did a painting today and had a huge mess. the painting turned out great, but you make it looks so easy and mess free ! Years of experience I guess. Great work and I loved the mini documentary ! Thanks !
Absolutely amazing. I had no idea that caricaturists put in so much effort and research when drawing their subjects (or maybe Kascht is one of the only ones.)
Very engaging profile of one of the most interesting, (emotionally) elusive entertainers alive today. Well done on educating us on Coco
fascinating
Extreme talented and inspirational
This is incredible.
Very cool. Awesome!
This is great! Well done!

freaking amazing
sir you are owsam. your tips your work amazed me. thanks for being with us
increible !
holy crap this was great.
This was great, i never appreciated this kind of caricature since they're not something i particularly like, but i never stopped to think how much was behind them.
W0W! I was blown away by this fabulous documentary, John! So engrossing on so many levels!
One needn't be a face hustler to enjoy it (although I am one)
The writing was so great... Did you construct the "script"? Edit it, too?
I fluctuate between scribbling faces and manipulating footage that I was hypnotized from the 1st frame.
More, Sir!

The link I clicked for this video only showed the hair in the final drawing, and I still immediately knew who the caricature was.
Great!
brilliant........
A great artist !!
A-FREAKING-MAZING!
Wow!!!
ayos. thumbs up
Don't worry too much about the types or brands, just produce as much as possible. Draw EVERYDAY. Whether you feel like it or not, even if you think it's garbage when you're done, keep it, and keep drawing. Your technique coming from practice is going to be 10,000x more important than the tools you use. =)
This video is so amazing and important, cause i wish to draw professional caricatures. Could someone plesa tell me wich pencils that gentleman uses?
You inspired me on your darwin line up. Thanks ( hits chest"artist love" ) Sir Brandon Lane Darrin
amazing :)
"You can see which features have been prominent..."
DAT HURR.
Curious-- what watercolors and watercolor paper do you work with? Or is it illustration board?
Thanks for a great video!
This gets me inspired as FUCK.
Can somebody trow a light over what kind of materials is he using in the last paint of the video?....I am not sure if he is using watercolor or acrylic, (What is the colored liquid that he pours over the palette?) also I think he is making some details with chalks....thanks for the help.
Really impressive. I feel lazy with my own caricatures now... I never even considered making a sculpture.
