I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Venice. My first visit and hopefully not my last. It’s an amazing place with a romantic feel and I expected to find a lot of caricaturists but managed to find only one! I always try and have my caricature done when abroad, it’s really nice to […]
What a fantastic game the other night with Chelsea and what a story for Dider. I thought I would do a quick pencil sketch caricature as he has such an interesting and expressive face.
Another studio caricature created a while ago but kept off the site as it was for a birthday present. This was created with a mix of good old pen and paper then scanned in and coloured up with digital paint. The feedback was fantastic, the client found it difficult to keep hold of the […]
Spent a great Sunday at Roots Garden Centre caricaturing for visitors. The event was well attended by the public, I got to exercise my pens quite a bit! I also met some really nice fellow artists – Tony has the licence for building Daleks, Jo had some fantastic puppets (I was sooo tempted) amongst […]
Bacon & Eggs! Spent a delightful couple of hours at Stokes Farm on Saturday doing caricatures. Mostly kids, as you would expect with this sort of event and it was really good fun. I did sneak in a few caricatures of mums and dads which made it more varied. This is the […]

This is the setup I had for the Cats Protection Charity bash the other weekend. It was pretty good, I was busy most of the time and raised some money for the charity. I was sent a copy of a local paper which featured one of my subjects and caricatures! Don’t know which paper it […]
So it’s a first for me – Caricatures on a double decker bus. This was a Bar Mitzvah party, the venue was North London and the bus was fantastic! The bus was ‘decked’ out with wide screens, games consoles, disco etc. The Shakes were being made to order and the whole thing rocked….literally! In […]
I was playing with an alternative to my normal wedding caricature designs. Normally I draw black and white which are the fastest – between 6 – 8 mins using a Tombo brush pen for black giving me thick and thin outlines and then Copic markers for the grey tint as seen in option A. Then […]
New airbrush arrived a few weeks ago but I have been too busy to open it and give it a try. Sunday was the day, not sure if this tool will prove useful for caricature but thought I would give it a try. I have taken a few lessons in the past from a real […]
