Start of my first ever New Blog

Today is my Birthday and I have somehow managed to make it to the age of 50? Therefore I thought it was a perfect time to launch this blog, which will be all about me, trying to start and make a living as a Caricature Artist! Advice is always welcome, as I have zero experience. My background for the last 30 years or so has been all about Aircraft! so no help their! I have however always done lots of silly drawings of people throughout my life, on and off , and near the end of my job I did quite a few Caricature/ Cartoons of people as leaving gifts. This is what I am hoping to continue with and hopefully make a living from?
     I was very lucky about 18 months ago and managed to go, to a Draw Feast outside Luton Airport. It was organised by a Caricature Artist called Steve Hearn and around 20 fantastic Artists turned up and literally drew for 16 hours. I learnt more in that time, than I could if I had practised for a year. I was and still am inspired by all of them to make it as a Caricature Artist. Here are a couple of pictures I have done to give you an Idea, and I will try to include some of the many sketches I do daily.

I unfortunately am a bit of a computer Biff so I hope you can put up with me untill I understand how all this tech works? I will try and blog once a week to start off with, slowly moving up to several times a week? Thanks to any one who visits, look forward to my next instalment.
