American swimmer Michael Phelps, winner of 9 career gold medals (tied with Spitz), 3 for 3 in Beijing and counting.
I'm a huge fan of the Olympics. I witnessed the miracle on ice in the 1980 Lake Placid games when the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union, and I've been hooked ever since. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. I'm already looking forward to Vancouver in 2010.

Nice work. Phelbs is my favorite but Lizak isn't bad either.
Lezak.
These portraits are great, Jeff.
Your entries bring back good memories. I miss being able to watch the Super Bowl with you and Ben like we did at CalArts. You guys were nuts. Good times.
By the way, I was sure you were a Patriots fan. ;)
Nice one Jeff! We are getting a huge kick out of watching him swim. Genius. I keep hoping for my Canadians, but it seems I have to cheer them on not to come in last in all the swim events... *sigh* Oh well, I prefer the Winter Games myself! :D
Great sketchie
Really great Phelps caricature!
Thanks Dan.
Dorota, I was glued to the TV during the entire Olympics. Phelps was a phenom.
