Hello Everyone. I’d like to start by thanking those of you who had nice things to say about my (admittedly modest) drawing ability. I have never considered myself much of an artist, and while living with Robbi serves as a daily reminder of my lack of proficiency with a paintbrush, I really did enjoy this first installment of Matthew Draws. From the looks of it, so did many of you.

Without further ado, I’m happy to share the correct answers (as well as a few of my favorite wrong ones.)

Here is the first drawing.

90 percent of you correctly identified my halting lines as George Washington (A few of the more colorful correct answers included, “GDub. Obvs.” and “The Big G Washington”). A few of the incorrect answers for this drawing included: Beethoven, Lincoln, Princess Leia, Thomas Jefferson, Bea Arthur, and Lady Gaga. I’m sure Miss Gaga would be horrified.

Here’s the photo I used for reference:

Here is Lady Gaga.

Come on, people.

Moving on to my second drawing:

Eighty percent of you correctly identified it as Elvis Aaron Presley (and one of you even qualified your guess as “Elvis halfway to being overweight.” James Dean was the most popular runner-up. Other wrong guesses included Adam Lambert, Conan O’Brien, Morrissey, Harry Connic Junior, John Travolta, Kid (of Kid’n’Play), and Sean Penn.

Here is The King in his glory.

Moving on to my third drawing:

This one really threw you for a loop. Only 40 percent of you correctly identified the subject of my drawing as Woody Allen.

Andy Warhol was the next most popular choice (3 of you chose Andy), followed by Bill Gates, Larry King, and Mr. Rogers (who each garnered two votes).

Other wild, wrong guesses included Alan Alda, Stephen Hawking, Bob Newhart (with hair), Carl Sagan, Conan O’Brien, David Brooks, Dominick Dunne, Dwight D. Eisenhower, my dad (John Swanson), Jack Benny, Neil Simon, Noam Chomsky, Roger Ebert, some dude with glasses (hard to dispute that logic), Stephen King, Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg, Tom DeLay, Alan Greenspan, Woody Harrelson. One of you even guessed that it was a self-portrait. (I’m even more offended than Lady Gaga.)

Here’s the photo I copied in trying to render Woody.

And finally, the fourth drawing, which only 30 percent of you correctly identified as Carrot Top.

Several of of the Carrot Top guesses were elaborated on, as follows:

-An angry carrot Top
-A very angry Carrot Top
-Carrot top. I hope it’s Carrot Top
-Carrot Top in Bill Cosby’s sweater
-Carrot Top, or possibly Medusa

If Gaga and I were offended to be mentioned in the earlier guessing, I can only imagine how Robbi must feel to have been the second most frequently cited guess for the Carrot Top drawing. SEVEN of you guessed Robbi for this one, including two of you who qualified your guesses with “mad Robbi,” and “angry Robbi.”

Three of you simply didn’t place a guess, opting for question marks. Two of you thought this was a drawing of Beethoven, and two others thought that it was Sigourney Weaver or the Green Lantern.

One of my favorite wrong answers: “A woman who was recently attacked by dogs,” but I am also fond of “Bride of Frankenstein.”

Others among you thought I was trying to draw Frieda Kahlo, Helena Bonham Carter, Hilary Clinton, Johnny Depp, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga (again, poor woman), Madonna, Marilyn Monroe (more like Marilyn Manson, if you ask me), Medusa, Paula Poundstone, Serena Williams, Susan Boyle, Tina Fey, WTF, and Yo Momma.

And here he is, in all his glory. The one, the only.

All I had to do was draw four sketches, and a veritable universe of possible matches presented themselves. I’m touched that you people find my work so versatile, so richly evocative, so utterly flawed.

Tune in soon for another version of Matthew Draws. If you’d like to suggest someone for me to draw next time, send me an email (though please leave poor Lady Gaga alone).
