I happened to find myself doing a couple of caricaturing jobs out of the blue this month. I was happy to be able to turn them round quickly. That said this one, above, for someone’s retirement, ended up taking twice as long as planned. Largely cos I had to do it twice.
Here’s the first version, based on the one lo res picture they sent. I did the first version with him clenching his fists in triumph at leaving the prison service. Then the client suggests I had his OBE so I add his OBE. Then the client suggests he have a bunch of keys so I add a bunch of keys. Then the client, which by now includes the rest of the family, suggests it doesn’t look like him so they send me some more better photos. Oh and could he be in running shorts, with the prison logo on and…. Anyway, I charged half as much on top and they ended up happy.
This one was a lot easier. Nine comedians clambering over York Minster, for a comedy festival. Bish bash bosh. I recognise most of them.
