Artist Statement
Ken Fallin began his career in 1983, creating witty pen and ink caricatures for the wildly successful satirical revue, “Forbidden Broadway”. As a bit of a spoof itself, these drawings were done in homage to the great theatrical caricaturist Al Hirschfeld.So felicitous was this concept that Ken continued to design artwork for the show’s phenomenal thirty year run. Subsequently, Ken’s instantly recognizable, intricately detailed pen and ink celebrity portraits have been published internationally by such diverse and distinguished publications as The Wall Street Journal, In Style Magazine, The New Yorker Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, Politico.com, and Barron’s Magazine. Ken has also produced stylish art for major ad campaigns, posters and commissioned corporate gifts for such presumably satisfied clients as HBO, Showtime, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Metropolitan Opera Company, American Express, Belvedere Vodka, CBS News, Walt Disney Productions, The Peter Norton Foundation, and Microsoft. A TV commercial that animated Ken’s print ads for CNBC’s “Squawk Box” received an EMMY Award Nomination. Several Ken Fallin posters are in the permanent collection of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, and a number of his original pen and ink drawings hang in NYC’s Players Club. Ken regularly contributes theatre drawings to BroadwayWorld.com and Playbill on line. For over fifteen years, Ken lectured on The Art of Caricature for Crystal Cruises. Private collectors of Ken’s work include Angela Lansbury, Bradley Cooper, Barbra Streisand, Bernadette Peters, Sir Patrick Stewart, Warren Buffett, and Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Harold Prince, Jason Alexander, and Darren Criss.
