Christmas in September

This is a caricature portrait of my brother Joey, his wife Jennifer, and their granddaughter, Everlee. This was a Christmas gift from Everlee’s mom, Autumn, to Joe and Jennifer.

I got back to basics when drawing these caricatures. Although my drawing tablet has its advantages, using just a primitive pencil and eraser on paper is much more enjoyable. I drew the faces with pencil, scanned them into Photoshop, and then created the rest of the portrait using the drawing tablet.

Would you like to give a caricature portrait to one of your loved ones this Christmas? Let me know what you want and I’ll quote you a price, then you will say, “yes or no”, then we dicker and haggle maybe, and then you say, “yes”. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Unphooey on Huion

When my Huion drawing tablet went on the fritz, I was saying, “Phooey on Huion!” I would like to take that back. I got it working again! The resulting Small Consolation that you see above was just me messing around with different line thicknesses and colors. A test, you might say. If you think it is funny… great! It wasn’t meant to be funny, though. It just happened. Art just happens, sometimes. I think it has a certain Anime flavor. Or is it Manga? Is Anime the moving version of Manga? That might be an interesting question. Happy Thanksgiving!
