New GIft Caricature for Tyler

This is a new gift caricature I did for Tyler.

Albert Einstien

I am working on Einstien, not sure if I'm finished but it feels like it still needs something.

Stephen Segal

Marilyn Monroe

This is a celebrity caricature of Marilyn Monroe submitted for the About Faces Entertainment website.

Arnold Rough

Here is the initial rough sketch of Arnold I do as part of my first step for the untold numbers of people who read my blog!

It's Arnold!

Every self respecting caricature artist must have Arnold in his portfolio! 

Elvis

New caricature of Elvis.  What is a caricature portfolio without Elvis?

Business Caricatures

I recently did a caricature for Dean and Betty of Castelbrook Photography Studios.  They are photographers specializing in family portraits.

Live Caricature Event in Dubuque, IA

The following are a set of pictures from a live event I supported for the United Way Cancer Society Relay for Life.  I had a great time and I think the crowds enjoyed themselves also.

Awful Powers

This is something I was working on a while ago as a portfolio piece.  Sort of a mad magazine movie parody panel.  The idea was "Awful Powers" in which Ms Kensington had to put up with his "awful powers" especially after big meals.

New gift caricature

This is a gift caricature for Ismail who is into salsa dancing, fast cars and kite surfing.  I used a picture of salsa dancers for reference on drawing the caricature bodies.

Finished Work

Here is the finished effort with the scanned drawing using my new Cintiq 21UX.  It's a breeze to use and so much easier than a tablet which I never really got used to.

Self Caricature Rough

This is a rough sketch I scanned for a website I am building.  I guess it's typical to have an "artist at the drawing desk" caricature - so here is mine.

Caricatures Artist's Caricature

Here are a few quick sketches I did of four prominent ISCA caricature artists, Robert Bauer, Glenn Ferguson, Court Jones and Paul Moyse, .

Caricature of Me

Here is another caricature of me by Janjo Baron

James Carville

James Carville is a politcal commentator usually seen on CNN.

Jay Leno

With Jay Leno getting his Tonight Show back all is right with the world.  Jay has been caricatured many times, with his big chin his most obvious feature, I thought I would add his portrait to my collection.

Kristie Alley "Fat Actress"

I recently tuned into the "Marriage Ref" to see if I liked the show and saw Kristie Alley.  So I thought it would be fun to do Kristie.  With her bigger profile, it makes for a funnier caricature. 

Caricature of Me

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Orlando's Universal Studios, while on a business trip, and I stopped by Glenn Ferguson's Caricature Booth.  Glenn produced this amazing caricature of me!  I wasn't timing him, but he probably did this in less than 15 minutes.  Amazing work and so fast!  Glenn won the 2009 Golden Nosey award from the International Society of Caricature Artists.   

Thumbnail Sketch of the Week

I like to do thumbnail sketches as a way of loosening up....

Most Obnoxous Person of the Week

My most obnoxous person of the week goes to Akio Toyoda, CEO of Toyota.  This guy is the grandson of the founder of Toyota.  His grandfather is probably rolling over in his grave with the way Toyota has fallen from grace.  His dad also ran the company back in the 1990's.  Wonder what he's thinking??
