Caricaturing at Weddings is back in a big way. After the dearth of work for a live caricaturist that coronavirus brought, I’ve been back caricaturing at weddings and it’s almost as though nothing happened! Follow the link to hear more…

Portraits can tell an interesting story about how the sitter feels, if you capture your subject at the right time. In this blogpost I’ll be talking about the experience of drawing caricature portraits
for Friction Arts’ project ‘How Were You’

Cartoon Commissions have becoming a big part of my artistic practice of late, what with all the inexplicable indoorsiness that this last year has brought.

I’m pretty lucky, not everyone has a workplace that a cute baby charmingly toddles into! Let’s delve…

In today’s blogpost I’m talking about one of my most recent visual minutes gigs and how my drawings made the recording of the event a little bit more exciting!

Happy Monday Caricature fiends! As a continuation of my ‘ICONS’ series, spanning musical icons from the past and present, I’ve done a false colour caricature portrait of Canadian rapper Drake, otherwise known as ‘Champagne Papi’, ‘6 God’ or ‘Drizzy’.
