POLITICOS [2]

IN MY 30S, I spent a bit of time trying out political caricatures [I have a fair few of these try-out designs as yet unscreened on this site].

Back then, print was still king, and internet access  for all was still a long way off---at least it was so  for me, as  I was pretty late  in getting a computer, in fact it was 2007 when I finally got online.

It was really tough trying to get into the Political Caricature Market back then: I did get some interest from the London Evening Standard newspaper who most certainly encouraged me.

I had no problems thinking up silly ideas or lampooning politicians and it was a field I could have quite happily  taken to, had the opportunity and encouragement been there.


As ever, I moved onto other styles of drawing, however although I lost interest due to no openings becoming availible to me in the 90s, the advent today  of the Internet offers up work opportunities  for me to do this sort of thing.

Here is another pretty savage example, [great fun though]---the customer put together a great mock-up of the idea for a cartoonist to draw, so the actual image is my interpretation rather than everything thought up by me.





ACCURATE MAPS,------ like cityblock buildings, -------are a bit of a pain to draw, so here I toned down an actual real map digitally and 'drew over it' which took some of the usual tedium out of drawing maps---other than that, this was fine/
