Caricatures By Rick

The joy of caricaturing…

Posted on 12/24/2009 by Rick

Here’s a happy face who just received a caricature as a gift. I was commisioned to do a group of guys tailgating (see last post) and they gave to the main tailgater , before last Sunday’s game. He was tickled!

Then afterwards, we went in to watch the Ravens beat DiBears 31-7 and we had GREAT seats too, right in front row. Go Ravens!!

Hi All. Sorry for the long drought in posting, been pretty busy. It’s been snowing here in the mid Atlantic area all day. Cancelled a few jobs, fortunately they are rescheduling. Had alittle time to post. Here are a couple of projects I’ve been working on lately:

Here’s a group of guys (couple of friends of mind) that tailgate at all the Raven games that commisioned me to do. I finally got a caicature of my good friend Groovy Red on my blog (The one with the bald head, Pete.) It was fun to do and they got as big kick out of it.

Here’s a xmas card a did for another friend of mine and his new family.

ISCA Convention

Went to the ISCA Convention (International Society of Caricature Artists) last week in Ohio. I didn’t win the Golden Nosey (the top award), but I drew the Golden Nosey Winner, Glenn Ferguson with his new do. Congratulations Glenn, well deserved!

I also drew Mr. Nosey himself, Tad Barney (well sort of) and the lovely Kathy McMillan from Canada.

Here’s the rest of my wall.

I also drew my friend Em Em. She thinks I drew her too cute, I just draw what I see.

And here is Mr Humorous himself “Jert“. He’s a WILD MAN!!

Illustration work

Above is a caricature of a couple getting married this weekend. She wanted to be the Queen of Hearts and him the Mad Hatter for their signing board.

This a project for a hospital that is located close to an Air Force base and wanted to appeal to young families on their base. They pretty much had the idea, I just drew it up for them. They’ll be using it for all the advertising, posters, ads, etc…

End of the baseball season

Posted on 10/05/2009 by Rick

Sorry for the long drought folks. I got lots of e-mails asking, where I’ve been?? Just not much time to post. Need to get better.

Well, the Baltimore Orioles finished off their season this past Sunday. It ended just as bad as the last 12 years with a losing record, sole possession of last place and another late season collapse. They do have some promising young talent for next year, but we’ll see… Stay tuned.

Anyway, the last game of the season I did a caricature of 2 of the sports guys in town that do their radio show at the ballpark, Tom Davis and former O’s pitcher Dave Johnson. They are both great at what they do. I gave each one of them one of the caricatures and they signed one for me. They were both pleased.
