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....
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
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.
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.
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...
