Sidney Crosbey

This was done as the 25 game scoring streak was happening. I suppose the whiskers are gone now.

Christmas Caricature

This was done for a surprise gift. I think it worked out well and the husband liked it. I hope to get more of this kind of work in the future. I have also included the reference photo. Thanks to Pam for the job!

Evgeni Malkin

One of my favorite players for the Pittsburgh Penguins

Troy Polamalu

This was done for the silent auction that the Huntingdon County Arts council is having. I try to donate something each year.

On Display

Here is the project i did for the Fullington Bus Company in state college. You can see it if you happen to travel to or from State College by bus. I took a few pictures of it.
As you can see in the pictures, it is secured by three concrete blocks and is also chained to the steel rails. It must be worth big money for that to happen, right?

Metallica

This was drawn for a caricature contest on Facbook. There is a weekly challenge. Sometimes I get a chance to participate, sometimes i don't. This week was fun.

A New Weekly Feature?

I was thinking, since I posted a person singing karaoke last week, why not do it again this week. This was shot with my iphone, so the quality is that of an iphone....3gs at that. so enjoy!

Carin

I saw this shot of Carin and thought it would make a cool drawing. I didn't spend a lot of time on it and could have made more exaggeration, but for what it is i was ok with it.
I think it would make a cool add for ..umm red suspenders?

Corina Landrum singing Simple Man

This was shot from my point and shoot camera, so the quality is not its best. The sound is way off also. Again, I was using a point and shoot camera, she was behind the speakers and it does not do her voice justice. Hope you enjoy.

Caricature Gift

Someone suggested I make caricatures available though my website and Facebook. So here it is. If you are interested I even set up a pay pal account for you to pay for them. I will do them from photos that you provide. I do have to reserve the right to say "hey that is not a good enough picture", and return your money. When it is complete I will send you by email a small picture of it. We can then make arrangements for it to be picked up or sent to you. Umm, you will have to pick up the postage. I love to draw these things and hope you find they look like the person you want me to draw, but understand they are to be a little funny. I hope Max didn't mind but as I thought about making this post, I saw it was his birthday so I used him as a subject and as a sample here.
The paper that i use is 11x14 for individuals and 14x17 for 3 or more faces. I have paypal set up for 1 to 4 faces but have done more. If you want more thank four faces, just pay through paypal a second time for the additional faces.
This is the first time I have tried this so we will see how it flies. I hope to post some of the pictures as I do them and THANKS!


Order here and please include your email or facebook ID so I can contact you.

Number of Faces

1 Face $15.00 2 Faces $30.00 3 Faces $45.00 4 Faces $60.00

Digital Caricaure part 2

Digital Caricature

A work in progress. About an hour and a half compressed in to 7 minutes.

Sewing factory 1968

I love old pictures and my mom gave me a bucket load of them. This is one i found most interestsing. See anyone you know?

Ben Rothlesberger Caricature

With the start of the NFL Season i thought i would do this. I would like to try a different Steeler each week. We will see how that goes.

MIA

This is MIA. A singer.. I guess, or so I am told.

Megan Fox

This was done for a caricature competition. It is something that is done just for fun on a facebook group. Since I have been slacking so much lately, I thought this would be a good way to keep motivated.

Ronnie James Dio

He had a throat and voice that was huge. I met him back in the early 90's in Allentown. Great guy and giant loss to the metal community.

Sandy Bair

Sandy is the director of PRIDE in Huntingdon County. She stopped in the radio station where i work and did an interview about the Pride telethon. I did the caricature of her and gave it to her a few days later, and it turned out to be her birthday!!

Ol Abe, One hour Speed Painting

Taylor Swift

This went pretty quick, so the jury is still out on it.

marques colston

This is a caricature i did of Marques Colston. His mom graduated from the Mount Union Area High school in 1973. He was to talk to the kids at that school on 02/26/10, but because of the nasty weather the event was canceled. He is to come to the school another time. I hope to give him a copy of this then, since I had more than once copy printed.

Amber Dougherty

This is Amber Dougherty. I became aware of her story from a news story on a local radio station. This is it: Amber Dougherty is a 13 year old from Tyrone, PA and is suffering from Severe Intractable Epilepsy, with a sadly grim prognosis. According to an email sent by a family member, the doctors don't expect for her to be with us next Christmas. Since Amber likes to receive mail, her family is organizing a card drive so that Amber can get mail from all over. She also has a more informative webpage at http://prayernet.geisinger.org Her case is labeled damo56.
I posted on her facebook that I was praying for her and someone emailed me and said i should do a caricature of her. This was a pretty quick painting. I did it all in one evening. Spent about three hours on it. I actually had a lot of it done and something very strange happened. My MAC crashed. I have had it for several years and it may have crashed five times since i had it. Anyhow i had to redraw it but that is ok.
I am not sure how Amber will fell about it. I only did it because someone on her facebook page ask me to. If you would like to see a reference i would rather you visit her on facebook.

Michelle Obama caricature

I started this around about on her birthday. I again, don't get as much time to draw and it stinks, but still trying to keep dedicated to it. If i could just figure out how to avoid sleeping!

50 Cent Caricature

Since taking a "real" job my drawing time is limited. I did manage to work on this over the last week. An hour or two a night. As I always say, there is still more work I would like to do with it.
