suz caricature

Another caricature. I need to do more caricaturing.

what's with the hair in this town?

Wouldn't be a French Canadian if he didn't have a MULLET.

Another caricature

Caricatures are not supposed to be flattering. They are supposed to be funny. I actually like this how this one turned out, even though it may not be flattering, it is still appealing. I used to watch YARDLEY JONES on TV, that must have been more than 16 years ago. He taught how to paint and caricature and draw on his show, this was way before the day of digital media, he used good old fashioned water color, paper, ink, pen, and marker. He had this great method of painting his caricatures; he would ink the caricature on a sheet of acetate, much like an animation cel, then he would loosely water color the caricature on water color paper. He would then place the cel over the water color, once it has dried of course, and voila! A caricature in color with a nice black thick clean outline. I was very impressed by this. So essentially that is the look I am going for here with the painted look with a solid black outline, only I did it digitally.

In the end I did all 7 caricatures in 2 styles; the graphic style below, and the more painted style above. I definitely prefer the style above.
I had to do 7 caricatures. My original plan was to do them all in a clean, simple, graphic style like the image above. It was the fastest way to go, and I didn't have a lot of time.

Here's the rough of this caricature. I did about a dozen of them before I settled on this one.

sooooooo tired

I pulled another all nighter, probably the 20th one in the past 3 0r 4 months. Why do I kill myself like this? ....Oh yeah, cause' I love what I do. The scene set ups in the past few postings are a collaborative effort between ERROL BURKE and myself, including this one above. Now I must go to sleep......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ROAD KILL

There is nothing funnier than....

...A MONKEY WITH A TASER!!

A picture's worth a thousand words.

Good thing too...'cause I wouldn't know where to begin describing this crazy scene.

Mmmmmmm Purrrrrfect!

If he looks sexually ambiguous, that's because we are not supposed to know which way he swings.

10 versions of the cover

I actually made more than 20 of them, just variations on these. I like the gray tone ones with the white background best. The one that was chosen is not any of these pictured here. I'll save that for another time.
