Cari-ca-'Chores'

I get ask many interesting questions whilst drawing 'live'. I also get asked to do the impossible sometimes .

Here is a little cartoon of a typical request that I get.

By the way: This is either going to be the first in the series of Cari-ca-'Chores' or the last...watch this space

A Monstrous book by Gerald Scarfe

One of my favourite caricature artists is Gerald Scarfe. His artwork typifies what I like about caricature. I particularly like his weekly cartoon which appears in the Sunday Times obviously always topical and always a great stand alone piece of artwork.
His drawings always have his trademark spontaneous linework and colour washes not forgetting the actual caricature image which at times can be quite savage and brutal, but this is what is often expected in the world of political caricature and cartoons.
He has numerous books out and I have just got a copy of his latest book called Monsters which is a collection of all his political cartoon/caricature work done over the last four decades.

Guess who's back

Well it's good old Peter Mandelson, back as part of the Labour reshuffle/rescue plan, he's far too shifty looking for my liking!

More feedback

Here is another email recently recieved from satisfied customers Matt and Lucy. It was a very busy but fun night, with great people who really know how to enjoy themselves. This is a picture kindly sent to me by the photograher for the wedding. I think Matt and Lucy's expressions are priceless.
