The art of caricature and cartooning: the manipulation of the human form for satiric purposes; has been around in Western Art almost as long as Western Art. Many of the world's great artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo have done caricature. I think that caricature started as a derogatory and degrading form of artistic expression, but with the Twentieth century and it's craving for
any form of entertainment, the caricature took on more of a light-hearted approach. And with the publication of MAD magazine and the celebrity caricatures of Mort Drucker, the caricature - and particularly the celebrity caricature became an acceptable form of depiction, and really, a new form of admiration.
People
have said that I have a "kind" caricature style, I
don't mess you up, I make you look like a cartoon. Take a look
at my celebrity
caricatures, and also take a gander at my other
artistic endeavors. I'm a multimedia artist, I
can do many types of art!
