My First Digital Caricature

I did this of my friend Raggie. I wanted to do it in B&W to keep it simple for myself.  Reference photo shown but I changed the hairstyle to a more current one.

Grant Thorton gig

One of the more interesting gigs over the Christmas period was the Grant Thorton Christmas party (not because a couple that sat down in front of me were the parents of an old university mate) but also because my drawings were being projected up on a big screen. At first the concept of spoiling the "reveal" was a bit annoying but it turned out to be a great idea in terms of keeping the clients entertained whilst being drawn. Some feedback below:

Jeremy was a great hit at our annual client function and really helped to make our night a success.  Our guests really enjoyed having their 'portraits' done and having the work projected on a big screen was great also.  Jeremy was so quick and friendly with our guests as he drew - we kept him busy all night!

Verve Energy Awards Night

Had a gig on the Paddle Steamer "Decoy" for an Awards night last month and met a lot of really nice people there. Had a great time caricaturing and got some feedback in the post which was nice to receive. See below.

 

Stanley's 2010

Had an amazing time at the Stanley's a few weekends back meeting people from the Australian Cartoonist Association, including catching up with Jason Seiler from Chicago and the legendary Stan Goldberg of Archie fame. Will post some photos shortly. Terry and I were Stanley's virgins and had a great time catching up with Eastern States counterparts. Congrats to Jason Chatfield being elected new ACA president!

Commission job

Live gig at the Breakwater

Did a very well-organised gig at the Breakwater Tavern at Hillary's Boat Harbour with Terry Dunnet on Friday and he was kind enough to send me a photo of me with my "wall" for the night.

 

Live Style... Done at home

I got a request to do a Live gig last Friday for a real-estate company but with only a day's notice there was a clash, so the compromise was to do my usual "live" style caricatures, but from photos, which I did - Results below.

ACA Caricature Workshop Sunday 18th July

Here a couple of caricatures I did during yesterday's ACA caricature workshop in Ardross. The one of Gary (orange hair) won me "Best Caricature of the Day by an ACA member". Thanks to James and Phil for organising this workshop it was a lot of fun!

Hannah's House Charity Fundraiser

Last Thursday night was a charity dinner held at Joondalup Resort and I was asked by BBC Entertainment to provide some volunteer caricaturing services. It was an honour to help out such a good cause.

Thanks to Trisha, Michelle and Tess for a great event and to Kelly from KAM Images Photography for taking these great shots!

Discovered Convention Photos!

Was going through my camera today and discovered some photos on the internal memory (the part of the camera photos get saved to when you don't have the external memory card in it) and some were from the Ohio convention, including my fully completed "wall" (the one in colour). Here they are:

Wedding Commission

This one was an overflow job from Mr James Foley that I did last night.

Catch up...

Haven't updated this in ages so thought it's probably time. I've added below a variety of random sketches, commissions and live gigs:

INPEX Christmas Party

Was asked back to the INPEX Christmas party this year for the second year running - I think I will have drawn everyone in the whole company soon - I feel like I'm a employee. Thanks to Jo for keeping me nourished for the whole evening. Here were my two favourite caricatures - someone liked Claire's so much (the one on the right) that they took it home for themselves... she's now convinced that one of her colleagues is a psychopath with a shrine dedicated to her, and this is the latest piece for the collection...

Wedding gig

Here are some photos from the wedding gig yesterday...

ISCA Convention 2009

Back at work now (gahh...) after an awesome trip to Sandusky Ohio and the 2009 ISCA convention. It was my first convention and I got swept up in the madness - 1 whole week of caricaturing, only to stop for food, sleep and caramel macchiato's. I've attached below some of the pieces I did for my "wall".
