'Live' caricature show & personal attack !!

Done a few live caricature shows of late - I usually either forget the camera or don't get it out of the bag - remembered last night. A couple of shots from a Wedding at the Astral Ballroom at Burswood.

Good show - and a real hard job to 'cut the line' and get out the door.

Was one of several shows I have done over the past six months with fellow ISCA and ACA member Jeremy Goodchild - was getting to like the bloke until you see the bottom picture !

This is a picture of me holding a caricature Jeremy did of some old guy - he who laughs last etc

Roll on January ................

Every time the phone rings it's " Tell them I've nearly finished it - I'll email them soon !"

Don't know why I took all these 'Chrissie' jobs but I'll be so happy when the big day has been and gone ......... merry .... baahh humbug !!

Christmas commissions ....

It's that time of year again where the gift caricatures are thick and fast - with a few live shows as well - make hay while the sun shines I guess.

Here's a few of the first batch - some serious underquoting on the trail bike one. Pleased how it turned out though.

Back into it ............

I'm BACK !!!

After many thousands of miles on Qantas (Rolls Royce engines 'an all !), cruise ships (without a fire in the engine rooms) and just a small dose of food poisoning in Morocco - I'm home !

Just had time before entering into a pile of commissions and live events to finally complete a total update of my website HERE.

Just wanted to get the Blog in action again ..... I'll soon bore you all with the holiday photos.

Weddings, weddings ........ it's Spring !

It's that time of year, Spring is in the air and weddings are the business !

Collage of recent wedding commissions two of them I also attended and did live caricatures at the reception.

I really must put together a formalised package for that and promote it.

.. another ho hum job !!

I try and make a genuine effort to keep the old Blog populated with some recent stuff, but, of late it's all been fairly hum drum jobs. This one turned out well with limited input from the client - ' here's a couple of photo's, put him in a nice suit and a glass of red, oh and no background'.

They were really happy with it but you can't help feeling apprehensive when given no direction - been there before !

I want one of those Gillard Goose jobs ..........

A few more commissions ............

A few recent commissions - the faces anyway - just so the 'ol Blog doesn't rust up !!

All Photoshop - of course !!!

One for Queensland, one for New South Wales and the four good looking ones for West Australia - you can't work them out can you ?

Our new Prime Minister .....

A historical day for Australia, we're out of the World Cup and we have our first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The seriously 'on the nose' Kevin Rudd has gone and Julia is now the boss - it'll be interesting to see how her very Aussie accent goes down overseas. Probably subtitles !!

This is an 'oldie' - I must start another now.
