'Voluptuous' 50th commission ....

Now I know I said I wasn't going to bore you with commissions but I'm not getting a chance to do much else of late so here's a fiftieth birthday that's just gone out the door.

Eric and Ernie !!

May 28th is the 25th Anniversary of the death of Eric Morcambe in 1984. Twenty five years strewth where did they go - little known outside of the UK and probably to most people under 35. Eric was a brilliant natural comedian remembered with deep affection by those that grew up with him and his 'straight man' sidekick Ernie Wise. Sadly little Ernie passed away a few years ago too.

I had every intention of doing a caricature - that's the problem with good intentions.

A short clip - there's a ton more on YouTube.

'Flats' AKA Paul Flatley .....

Catching up on arrears of caricaturists caricatures ( .. try saying that quickly !) - this is Paul Flatley a fellow member of ISCA who hails from 'Oop North' in England.

Tried a few different ways of doing this - about 3 hours all up.

Birthday collage ...

This was a biggie framed commission which came off OK after lots of adjustments by the clients. A real estate company that specialise in developing industrial properties - the CEO's 50th birthday.

I can come up for air for a few days and do a couple of 'ME' jobs and an entry for the Michael Collins Caricature award - just one this year - 'mixed media' is the buzz just don't mention Digital !!!

Yesnomaybe !!

Quick - well quick for me - speedpainting exercise of a budding Perth caricaturist .......... who hides under the tag of , would you believe, yesnomaybe !!
