Starbucks pics

I didnt have my usual tools, so i used these great colored woodless pencils and a very thin pen line. I kinda like the results.

NCN CONVENTION Bob's wife and Japanese "white guy"

I did a memory sketch of fellow caricature artist, Bob East, Aka "Beast" lovely, wife. I hated the sketch I did of her while eating dinner one night and i promised her another, and here it is. Im really pleased with it, and drew it yesterday afternoon in between customers at Central Park(made a lotta dough that day by the way.) This other memory sketch is done of an unkonwn Japanese artist who was at the con, whose face was constantly hidden by his massive hair . I think I made him look more white than japanese though, but i still like the sketch.

NCN CONVENTION Closeups

Closeups of my fave drawings

NCN CONVENTION

Last year in Union Square I was approached by a Japanese gentlemen who was very excited about getting his caricature done. To my surprise, I found out that he was actually a caricature artist himself, and we both shared a laugh at the Convention. His name is "Say G" and he wore that headband for the entire week intensely working on his drawings and never looking up. I caught him good with my "manga-esque" rendition of him, and then he got his revenge!!!

NCN CONVENTION "me as Mr. Froggie"

Nage, The Golden Nosey Winner, did THIS to me!

NCN CONVENTION Glenn and ME

Glenn Fergueson is a fine artist, but I really think he "missed on my likeness" this time. I'm arguing that point with him here, and then coming to the awful realization that it IS me!!

NCN CONVENTION closeup of my wall

Here is a closeup of some of the images. I thought about using color, but decided to have my work have that same, "subwaysurfer feel" that it has on my sketchbooks.

NCN CONVENTION my wall

NCN CONVENTION 2007

Hate to use an old cliche, but it was the best one ever!... er, until next year, at least! LOTS of great art as usual, too much to tell right now as I've just gotten back.I got a chance to be drawn by Glen Ferguesen, one of my caricature heroes and an unbelievable airbursh artist and exaggerator!

LOOOOOONNNNGGGGG Bus Ride

I did a doggie gig at PETCO in Staten Island which had the LOOOOOONGEST bus ride ever!!!! I must have rode for at least an hour and a half. Good thing i had a lotta drawing paper and a supply of uglee faces....

He SEEMED like he liked it...

Well he WAS smiling when he took this picture, yet left without the caricature....

more exaggerations!!!

The guy in the Baseball cap actually rejected his caricature! i thought it was mild on the exaggeration, but apparently he was offended by the teeth.
Thi looooooong lipped man was sipping coffee in Starbucks and staring aimlessly

George Bush job interviews Episode two: the Comedy Club

colin harris 1st try

Did a quick caricature of fellow NCN artist, Colin Harris. Colin has "one of those faces" that caricature exaggerators LOVE to attack and I couldnt wait to draw him! As sometimes happens when you get TOO excited about a face, I got a "good" picture, but in my mind the likeness, even though Im exaggerating, is somewhat off. This will be a work in progress until I get it right.

One way or another... YOU"RE GET TING DRAWN!!!

Had this "hater" stop at my stand and absolutely REFUSED to get drawn and just hung around while my partner drew other people. SHe thought that if she kept showing me her profile that i wouldnt be able to draw her somehow... she was WRONG!! heh, heh....
My friend, ALison, who was also drawwing, just laughed.. She's the blond.

30 DAYS

This is one of the pictures from my upcoming book, "30 DAYS" The concept of the book focuses qround me teaching myself extreme exaggeration using my favorite subject, namely,ME. For 3o days I stretch squash and humiliate myself in an effort to learn this caricature artform and in the process gain self esteem and insight. A MUST read, if I say so myself...

Convention is coming...

Dont know if I will be able to go, but the annual NCN Convention is coming up. Im working on my exaggerations... heres two.

new me

a hairy gurl and a ....very ...strange man...

These two stopped by the stand the other day, the gurl needed a shave, and this fellow... needed a shrink!!
