Happy Birthday Adams! I did this while eating pizza and watching TV at my friend Mike Doss' house, 2 days before Adam's birthday luau. Like his brother Ryan VanderYacht, I couldn't quite see what I could do for a cartoony caricature. But here it didn't matter, because as all who know him can testify, Adam is pretty much a caricature all by himself.

The lawn gnome motif derives from Adam's 2003 Halloween costume. He was going to be the jolly green giant, but his costume never arrived. So he rolled up a piece of red construction paper to make a cone hat, then put on some red suspenders and a green shirt, and vioala! Lawn Gnome! I drew him here in his natural habitat.
