Pilot and Roller Derby Girl Caricature
In this bizarro concept I came up with, we have a Roller Derby Girl leaping over the wing of her boyfriend's jet-fighter. Yep.
Who knows what I'll come up with for YOUR caricature??! Right?
Or, we could just stick to plain ol' boring vanilla faces and nothing kooky.
Or, maybe you have a kooky idea of your own. The choice is yours!
Call or email today for more info and a quote!

Professors Keep Retiring, I Keep Drawing
Here's a recent gift caricature for an Auburn professor who's retiring.
His hobby is golfing so we included that, and the subject he taught was public administration --- so we stuck some appropriate tomes in Aubie's golf bag.
Of course, I can draw gift caricatures for ANY occasion... Birthdays... Anniversaries... Graduations... And more! Call or email today! (See Contact page above.)
Rates depend on size, style, color or black & white, number of people, etc. Typically from $80 to $250, depending on the details.
Some color caricatures in different styles
Some recent commissions... The first one is done using color pencils; the second two are watercolor markers (markers that can be blended with water.)
The lighter colors drop out somewhat in the scanned image, but it gives a good idea of the bright vibrant colors possible with these techniques (especially the markers.)
Commissions like this are typically $70 to $120, depending on the number of faces, details included, and other factors. Please call or email today to get started turning your friend or loved one (or yourself!) into a silly cartoon.
Cover for Mike Raita memoir
Mike Raita just wrote a memoir about his career as a sports anchor
Here's the thumbnail rough:
...and I got to do the cover!
Yes that's right, he wanted something fun and light-hearted, and had the brilliant idea (I may be a little biased...) to use a caricature on the cover.

(I think ALL books should have caricatures on their covers, incidentally. Please lobby your congressman.)
He also came up with the concept to show a news satellite van with stickers from all the stations he's worked at over his career. As well as a dotted-line map showing the cities he lived in along the way.
After an initial rough sketch to make sure we were on the same page, I proceeded to the line art and watercolor. For this part, I shamelessly channeled my cartooning idol Jack Davis (not saying I succeeded --- Davis had the skills of a 9th level hierophant. Which is pretty whack, if you know anything about hierophants.)
Then, I took the art into Photoshop and added the background map, as well as the text. What a blast to see it all come together:
