Caricature Express

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.

Which style is Better? Well, what’s the Purpose of the Caricature. Sometimes one way is better, sometimes the other way is better.

I have recently been posting simply-drawn pictures. Nice. Very Very Quick production. But today I’m going to post some of my Caricatures that had been drawn with Intense Exaggeration.

Different skills are required of me for each type. But which is Better? Well, it depends on what the client wants.

Sometimes, I’m as entertained at a Party as the Guests are. In this case, I was drawing at the very University where I had graduated several years ago. Good to be back. And good to feel like these were the same people that I had gone to school with. Like, all’s well with the world.

For when people want the simpler pictures -

We all had fun, as usual. And while I wasn’t playing my edge with the Artwork
(this was real easy for me), I was able to relax and enjoy being with the people.
So they didn’t have to sit as long. Instant Art - that’s what they wanted.

So I guess it’s good either way - either when I’m intent on my Artwork
Or when I’m enjoying the People.
