Pens, pencils, Mac and other bits gathered together for a week away in North Wales. Hopefully will update the site with some new faces following this trip. This will be a good time for me to experiment with different techniques as well as sharpening up the usual black and white event style caricatures that I do in and around Berkshire.

When I produce caricatures from photographs for birthdays or leaving presents I only get a glance of the person – the real joy for caricaturists is trying to find the character within and showing some of that in the drawing, something that I find is easier to do when the person is sitting in front of you. Of course the flip side is I can spend much more time working from a photograph than at an event so more detail can go in.

Well, North Wales here I come, looking forward to new faces!
