Who knows what I'll come up with for YOUR caricature??! Right?<br />
<br />
Or, we could just stick to plain ol' boring vanilla faces and nothing kooky.<br />
<br />
Or, maybe you have a kooky idea of your own. The choice is yours!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, I can draw gift caricatures for ANY occasion... Birthdays... Anniversaries... Graduations... And more! Call or email today! (See Contact page above.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rates depend on size, style, color or black & white, number of people, etc. Typically from $80 to $250, depending on the details.</div>

The first one is done using color pencils; the second two are watercolor markers (markers that can be blended with water.)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Commissions like this are typically $70 to $120, depending on the number of faces, details included, and other factors. Please <a href="http://www.timrocksart.com/p/contact.html">call or email</a> today to get started turning your friend or loved one (or yourself!) into a silly cartoon.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
...and I got to do the cover!<br />
<br />
Yes that's right, <b>he wanted something fun and light-hearted,</b> and had the brilliant idea (I may be a little biased...) to use a caricature on the cover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(I think ALL books should have caricatures on their covers, incidentally. Please lobby your congressman.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>He also came up with the concept</b> 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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>After an initial rough sketch</b> 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.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Then, I took the art into Photoshop</b> and added the background map, as well as the text. What a blast to see it all come together:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For this recent commission, the client wanted a humorous depiction of her friend's career as a professor of philosophy and religion. She imagined him weighed down by his many Bibles in different languages, struggling to keep the stack from toppling over.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I worked from photo reference (sent by email) of the subject's face, but made up most of the rest. So <b>don't limit yourself, and be creative.</b> What hobbies, career, or interests would you like to highlight about the giftee? Is there a fun, cartoony way to put that across? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

About</h3>
Yes, my last name is really "Rocks." :-)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">Photo of me drawing caricatures at the BJCC around 2008 probably. (Photo by my fellow caricature artist Ed Abernathy.)</span><br />
<br />
Anyway, what you should really know is that since 2008 I have worked <b>dozens and dozens of events,</b> and can make yours very fun and enjoyable too!<br />
<br />
I have worked events of all types and sizes...<br />
<br />
<b>...from small private parties to large corporate events </b>with hundreds of employees and their families.<br />
<br />
Mostly I work in <b>central and north Alabama (Montgomery, Huntsville, and Birmingham), but I can and do travel further as well.</b><br />
<br />
As far as custom art and freelance design or illustration, since the early 2000s I have worked on <b>multiple published projects,</b> including for regional book and magazine publishers (such as Books-A-Million's BAM! imprint, and UAB Magazine.)<br />
<br />
I have also done many <b>T-shirt designs</b> for a local Alabama screenprinter.<br />
<br />
Others come to me looking for <b>unique gift ideas, such as custom caricatures suitable for framing.</b><br />
<br />
I attended Mississsippi State's art program for several years, but am largely self-taught. I grew up in the 80s loving (and copying from) MAD Magazine and comic books.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They show the development of some designs for highschool homecoming Tshirts I was commissioned to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will post the cleaned up, "inked" versions in a future post. Sometimes the sketches have a nice quality of their own though. The inks don't always retain the same liveliness of a pencil sketch.</div>

Okay, not that many. But this was a fun job, so if YOU have any gangster cats (or dogs, parakeets, gerbils, etc.) let's talk!<br />

<br />
Anyway it's a good sample of the quick, sketchy style I use at events.<br />

Here is another recent commission. This was drawn in a quick, black and white sketch style, similar to what I do at parties (though a little more detailed, working from photos.) <br />
<br />
The actual size is 11"x14".<br />
<br />
Price for this style of piece: $50. (Add $20 for each additional person.)<br />
<br />
Please contact me if you are interested in custom art, or have questions about the process, rates, etc. <br />

Below are some samples from work I've done for high school homecoming games (note- this is just the black and white art; color and text were added later by the printer.)<br />
<br />
But of course, any sort of project is fine --- family reunions, company events, other school functions,or whatever your particular T-shirt needs are.<br />
