WEDDING GUEST SIGN-IN BOARD COMMISSION

The clients for this one gave me a very specific brief and provided me with hard copies of thier photos including pictures of thier dog, colour scheme and wedding outfits. The caricature was to include thier Staffy called Busby, the groom holding a pint, a Man United logo, the bride shopping and going to the gym! Luckily the clients approved my very first pencil rough.

Here's the process from start to finish!

VALENTINES DAY CARICATURE COMMISSION

It's not too late to order yours!

KATHRYN HOSKISSON COME DINE WITH ME CARICATURE

This caricature was done last week for a friends wife who was filmed for the Channel 4 cult T.V. programme Come Dine With Me. She was picked, so I believe, for her vanity which she readily admits herself, so I was asked to picture her with a drink and a mirror together with her hour-glass figure.

I've no idea if it will get onto the show but it was fun to do!

I'm pleased to say that Come Dine With Me have asked for permission to use this caricature in the show to be screened later in February. Watch this space!

The Come Dine With Me episode was aired last week featuring Kathryn Hoskisson who caused controversy by placing a paper bag over one of the "uglier" male contestants. My caricature was shown briefly a few times in the background on the wall and does seem to sum up how she was perceived on the show.

WEDDING CARTOONS FOR MY NEW WEBSITE (coming soon)

Working on some cartoons to spice up my new website that is in the process of being built.

HAMSTER WEDDING INVITATION

I was commissioned to design a wedding invitation that was to include a rugby ball, Blackpool Tower, the Humber bridge and a hamster. Here is the process from pencil to ink to colour.

KARL PILKINGTON CARICATURE - BULLSHIT MAN - AN IDIOT ABROAD

I'm a latecomer to this TV show on Sky 1 but Kark Pilkington is a legend! I decided to draw this first caricature of 2012 after watching the episode where, when asked which superpower he would have, he said that he'd be Bullshit Man and save everyone from all the bullshit in the world. Amen!

CHRISTMAS COMMISSIONS



OLD BOYS RUGBY GAME CARTOON

Every Boxing Day two local schools have an Old Boys rugby game at Fylde's ground. It's a great opportunity for everyone to get out of the house after a Christmas day indoors. This year, the game has extra significance as Arnold School and KEQMS are due to merge next year into a new school called AKS. There has been a lot of opposition to the merger, mainly from KEQMS parents, so I couldn't resist having a go at a cartoon to spice things up before the game.

ART JOURNAL UPDATES

I decided to sketch the disused garage just round the corner from my house which I pass most days. It is soon to be demolished for residential development and I often wonder what secrets and memories it holds?

My next sketch was of one of the many beautiful Victorian terraced houses at the heart of Lytham. I love the original sash windows on this one which holds a special meaning to me.

SKETCHBOOK AND ART JOURNAL

Inspired by Art Journalist, Danny Gregory, I decided to start sketching everyday no matter where I am. If I can draw live caricatures, surely I can draw in public? I still felt the twinge of fear and embarrasment as I sat on a bench in Lytham Square and drew the facade of my favourite cafe, Java, and location of my first date with my girlfriend.

Using a black ball point pen and watercolour paper, I just had to commit to the lines and let go of any fear of making a mess of it. Once finished, I took the line drawing home and used water colours from memory to fill it in.

My next target was Strongs fruit and veg shop which always has an amazing display outside. Armed with a pot of tea, I sat in the cafe opposite and started the process again until the cold proved too much.

Now the Lytham Posy Bowl, this building holds fond memories for me growing up as it used to be Henry Street Chippy. I spent alot of my pocket money on gravy and chips here.

Wedding Guest Sign In Boards and Stationery

I'm now able to offer wedding couples with custom caricatures for them to use as a guest sign-in board or for use on their stationary. The sign-in board is offered in a black or white matt only or can be fully framed professionally in white/black/gold/silver. They look fantastic and provide a lasting momento of your wedding day. Guests can leave a comment using a black, silver or gold pen.
