Welcome

Thanks for checking out my work. I appreciate the kind words shared by people visiting this site and try to post new caricatures every week.
I have been drawing all my life, but in 2008 I found the International Society of Caricature Artists
and fell in love with caricatures. I work everyday to improve and hopefully you can see improvements from my first posts here on this blog.
Within the last months (as of August 09) I have stated working on commissions for private parties and corporations. I hope to continue to grow and produce works of art for magazines and other publications.
If your interested, please contact me.
I also do dj and karaoke work. You can also find me on facebook.

Going Political!


A quick sketch of DICK Murtha. Standing in front of a Soviet and Communist Chinese flag. II also found a pretty interesting video clip. Not that i like to ..well i will let them speak for themselves. Wait, he didn't say anything in this clip. Oh well.

hey rick, i'd like to know where you purchased the markers from. I've purchased the markettes from canada before as well, but they were badly manufactured and came out kinda dry. i ordered from a second canadian company and the same results: really dry, non-juicy ink flow. I'm use to the old school Design Art Markers that were always juicy and super smooth.
I got ahold of a supervisor at kamans' art shoppes (a national caricature outsourcing company for a lot of theme parks) and he confirmed that dixon is having issues with manufacturing the dixon markette. This of course was about a year ago and now i'm wondering if they've stepped up their game and fixed the manufacturing issue. can you name the company that sold you the markers and confirm they're nice and juicy? thanks for your time.

I ordered them from canada. They were the first i ordered, so i guess they are ok. I have a bad time with markers.
