Unemployed Again.

Hello to everyone, I have worked my notice and finished,  so that leaves me unemployed for a while, till my next job starts. I had to hold my breath a while as I gave notice before I actually had another job to go to? makes life interesting having a bit of a gamble?  All the people at the company I worked  for have been very kind to me and had a whip round and got me a present ( I am not very good at leaving and saying goodbye /Thank you and never think I am worthy of a gift) to which I am very humbly thankful for. I am sure one person imparticular spent a lot of time baking a very nice fruit cake (Moist) and chasing down a whole counties ration of Garibaldi biscuits as my gift as well as spending a lot of time trying to buy some Markette markers( almost impossible) but got me some Kurecolor markers which are great and used in some of the sketches below. So a BIG Thank you Emma, and the rest of the company.

 I finished the gift Caricature of a friend  I said I was working on, and as I promised the  full picture here it is,

Here are some sketch book drawings over the last week or so

I also had a quick go at doing the Come Dancing judges, again using some of my new markers and various other pens that are on my desk.

 I cannot remember if I have ever put this up, but occasionally I do try to do normal drawings to. This was a work colleagues grandchild I had already done a few Caricatures of whilst practising doing baby faces and I am sure they felt insulted enough by them, so I thought I would be nice and do a portrait.

Thanks for stopping by, do look in again. Best Wishes.

Well I have given in my notice at my current employment (Service Engineer)and finishing quite soon. My next job (Aircraft Handler) if all goes well is shift work and will give me a greater capacity to do more caricaturing? I have always known that working full time outside of the arts is a huge drain on you motivation and artistic drive, but like everyone you have to pay the bills regularly and on time , so we end up doing other things. Of course if there is anyone who fancies paying me to work as a caricature artist or just artist  full time, I am all ears.
Got a few things in the pipe line at the moment I am working on, but still practising as always. My daughter wanted a Justin Bieber cartoon for her wall. (This lad was one of the most popular caricature pictures on all the Theme Park stands I worked On, for both Boys and Girls) He must have something, but I don't see it?

 A couple of lady's at work,

 And usually I don't put any digital stuff on here but this is a present for a friend soon, so once they have had the shock of it I will post the full caricature. ( To be honest I have seen a lot of you great artists do this and always impressed and intrigued so I thought I would borrow your idea).

 As they say at the end of the old Disney cartoons, " That's all for now Folks"
