In 1987, he was commissioned by the ''Boston Herald'' to do a celebrity caricature every week in the Sunday theatre section. Fallin has illustrated roughly 500 notable people for the ''Wall Street Journal'', including President Barack Obama,〔(Barack Obama WSJ drawing )〕 Paul Newman〔(Paul Newman WSJ drawing )〕 and Tim Russert for Peggy Noonan's memorial of the newsman in the paper.〔(Tim Russert WSJ drawing )〕 His ''Forbidden Broadway'' posters promoted the show in London, Tokyo and Sydney. Outside of entertainment, Fallin developed relationships with corporate clientele, particularly American Express, which engaged him on several national media campaigns as well as private work. Belvedere Vodka hired him to turn famous icons like the Playboy Bunny and Quentin Tarantino into bottles of the alcohol. Other clients have included HBO, Showtime and Walt Disney Productions.〔 == Background == On November 11, 1948, Kenneth Aubrey Fallin was born to Velma and Aubrey Fallin.
