FAWC Charity Auction event caricatures

A firing squad of 4 caricature artists lined up for this FAWC charity event at The Sheds in Newtown in May. It was interesting to see the different styles.

Standard Bank movie caricatures

At this conference for a Standard Bank team, everyone had to pick a movie star and a film. I then had to caricature them in that role. Each one took 15 minutes to complete although the models only had to sit for 8 minutes each. It happened at my favourite spot, The Blades in Pretoria.

Calvin's Birthday Surprise at Morrells

I've been drawing at Morrells Boutique Estate a few times so I thought I'd add these from Calvin's surprise birthday. His wife thought she was going to a work function. We pretended they were early and while I drew their caricature all their friends snuck up behind her. She was under strict instructions from me not to move during the drawing. I then revealed the picture with Happy Birthday written on it. Her face was momentarily transfigured by confusion until everyone began singing Happy Birthday. What a lark! Here are some pics from the evening.

People often request other friends and family to be drawn from their phones. Not a problem, as long as the pics are clear enough.

Caricatures at Stuart's 21st Birthday

I enjoyed adding to the good cheer at Stuart's 21st. I even got tears (of joy) from the one couple - a caricaturist's favourite. A little endorsement from Stuart's mom, Thank you so much for making Stuart's birthday special!! I was a bit nervous as I thought people might be a bit shy to have their caricature drawn but there was a lot of excitement and everybody loved it!!

Wedding Expo JHB 2015 - Day 2

Here is my 'Best of Day 2' at the Wedding Expo.

Wedding Expo JHB 2015 - Day 1

They were 2 heady days of drawing. I drew close on 70 caricatures on both days. Here are my favourites of Saturday's efforts.

Superhero caricatures for Nedbank Conference

This was a unique idea where staff had their pictures taken as they came in and had to choose a superhero from a list. The pics were loaded up onto a website and Peter and I drew everybody from the website as a superhero while they were busy at the conference. And then they got the surprise caricatures at the end. There were a lot to get through so there wasn't any time for shading or colour. I think there are so many ideas to be had incorporating caricatures.
