Caricature Express

One of my Agents wanted photos of my work for their new Office Walls.
This is what I came up with - a smattering from several recent gigs:

This client hired me to create two pictures from one Caricature.
One was to show him with playing cards and money.
The other was to show him with musical notes.

Lol - I laugh now as I remember how focused I felt while I decided
that I had to take my time and shade with dots. Each little dot.

I like the pictures.

I do have an interesting job. I have to dream up all sorts of visions based on whatever my clients come up with. This one was for a client who wanted some pictures to perk up his Power Point Presentation.

At least the first picture was a Caricature. That is what I do. I just emailed him jpeg images of what I drew. A smart man in his office who works with numbers (did he say the guy was an actuary, maybe?) And very tall and skinny. And the man is also into meditating.

But the 2nd picture - It was different. My client wanted me to use his actual photos and create a Wanted Poster - like Bonnie and Clyde, he said. But then he was talking about something else. Sounded like he was thinking Mafia. Or Gangster. Trying to ascertain what’s in my client’s head, trying to do what he wants…. This is what I came up with. It’s real camp. Real fun.

I’m hoping that the first picture of the man meditating, the picture with the bright pink background - I’m hoping that will catch his audience’s attention. Make them sit up and notice.

I’m hoping that the 2nd picture will bring, the Wanted Poster, I’m hoping that it will lighten the atmosphere. Playfully drawn.

Once upon a time, I was a child. And so were you.
Just look at how cute they can be! For such a short time, and then,
beautiful living people. Adults. Humans.

But for a while………

Back in November, I was hired to draw for a company located in Rockefeller Plaza. To celebrate the Big Tree Lighting Ceremony! It was a hoot. Gridlock driving around Manhattan, took a garage back where I came in to the city and walked to the venue. But even the streets were

Stopped. People lined the streets to see the event, so they just

Stopped. Trying to get through with all my supplies…..
Wow - I was there. Right where people wanted to be! And
I was there!

Sooo, I finally got a chance to post some pictures from that event.
And I figure that this is a good day for it - Glad I could at least get it here before Christmas…..

(BTW - I didn’t draw the scene on the side of the papers. These preprinted papers were supplied to me by the venue. I only created the Caricature Part and all Color of course.)
