As part of their National Salute to Veterans 2019 festivities, a group of us caricatures artists and cartoonists were asked to volunteer our time to draw caricatures of the people at the Charles George VA and Medical Center in Asheville, NC. Here are some of the photos of the caricatures […]

Today is Day 31 of the month-long January drawing challenge to do a caricature of a specific person each day. Today was Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, and I had trouble getting her likeness for some reason. Looking at even photos of her , she looks different in each one with different […]
The penultimate day of Caricature Resolution 2019 is here. Day 30 brings the Colombian singer, Shakira (Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, to be precise), whose hit song “Hips Don’t Lie” has been verified by both orthopedists and a polygraph.
