Day 16 of this month long challenge has me feeling rather worn out and I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to even attempt this subject until the late hours of the day. Not sure if it was the difficulty of a subject who has changed looks so much, that a standard […]

Day 15 of Caricature Resolution 2019, and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin is the subject. For me, I always think, think about that time she was in the Blues Brothers movie and that was the performance I have tried to capture here: Although this didn’t get many likes on […]
Day 14 of Caricature Resolution 2019 is here and the subject is 95 year old TV legend, Betty White. I tried drawing her exaggeratedly, with the usual mixed success in doing so. I only managed to focus on her cheekbones and dimples, but still not out-of-proportion enough to be called […]

With no chance of spoiling the surprise (since the recipients have now been given their gift caricatures) here I am […]
The fine people at Biltmore Estate’s rustic Antler Hill Village were kind enough to hire my caricature services for their Labor Day Celebration at the Antler Hill Village barn on a balmy September evening. Thanks to the venue and to the warm and wonderful folks I enjoyed drawing and meeting. […]
