Illustrator and caricaturist Glynis Sweeny captures Paul Simon (b. 1941) in the exertion of performing. She drew this caricature for the Detroit News close to the time of Simon’s “Born at the Right Time” tour, which he began with his performance at the Palace in Detroit on January 16, 1991. Sweeny worked as an illustrator and page designer for the Detroit News until 1995, when she moved to New York. Drawing mainly in wax-based colored pencil, she has become known for her satirical depictions of political and business figures that appear in leading newspapers and magazines.
