August Diehl, Inglourious Basterds. 2009, Robert Shaw, Reading Between  the Lines.

Here is one of the pieces from Robert Shaw's book Reading between the Lines. I like how although he puts the quote next to the character the two parts stay distinct. This stops the piece from seeming like a cartoon and makes it more original. This is done by drawing of the character at a different time to when they say the quote. This means the quote works more as a mini description of the character than as something like a cartoon This is something I may explore in my own work as it would demonstrate how dialogue can be used to describe the relationship between two people rather than just show us what they're saying.
I don't particularly like Shaw's illustrations however as I find they lack definition and could do with more varied line work. I do think the simplicity of the drawing works well with the rest of the piece however which is something I need to think about for my own work.
