Pen and Ink Stipple Portrait of Amy Adams

Amy Adams

This past week I've noticed that people in my life are posting lots of pictures and videos of cute puppies and kittens - in an effort to get our minds off the election results. Anything to bring a much needed smile to our faces... Well, the Hollywood equivalent of one of these joy-inducing distractions might just be Amy Adams. To me, she has been a consistently warm and wonderful actress, and this post-election season brings us not one but two opportunities to enjoy her talents. I saw Denis Villeneuve's "The Arrival" this past weekend and thought it was pretty terrific. Surprising and thought-provoking, with a central performance by Adams that I suspect will make her a front-runner during awards season. Adams stars again this coming weekend in Tom Ford's "Nocturnal Animals", costarring Jake Gyllenhaal, and previews would suggest a stark contrast to her earlier role. I'm looking forward to it!In 2007, I had the opportunity to create a hedcut of Adams for The Wall Street Journal, accompanying the review for her very first starring role, in Disney's "Enchanted".
