Royal Wedding and Day Off

My apologies for no blogging but I have been none stop at the theme parks, I have just not had the time?
I managed to get Friday off to catch up on sleep and jobs waiting for me to do around the house! and of course watch the Royal Wedding. I wish the young couple a happy and long life and hope the worlds media treat them with respect and give them a break as at the end of the day they are just like everyone else, with a job most of us would not really want to do. I have done a quick Theme Park style caricature of the couple as if they had asked at a stand?

If they had popped by their would of been no charge! anyway I hope to start getting my act together and taking photos of as many customer Caricatures as I can get and posting them on here? but for now best wishes to all.

New Found Respect

I have been as busy as a bee, over the last two weeks? I have managed to get myself the job I have been after for almost a year and that is as a Caricature Artist at a Theme Park. It all happened so quick, it has taken me by complete surprise! At present I am being moved around to different ones each couple of days but I am sure once the Theme Parks start to get busy it will be all hands on deck and I will stay at just one of them most of the time. My new found respect for Live Drawing Caricature Artists is just how busy and quick you need to be at drawing and it is very hard to please everyone all the time. I have always thought it easy to snap off a photo each time you do one, but in reality you are so busy getting the next customer set up you forget or just do not get a chance.
Below is the entrance to Thorpe Park, one of the parks I am drawing at.

The next is the set up at Chessington World of Adventure although when the season is fully under way their will be 3 or 4 caricature artists working each with their own umbrella/easel etc.

and finally for now all I could muster for caricaturama 3ooo was the Biro drawing below, although I quite like it but do not have any time to colour or digitally paint on to it.

I am sorry I have no pictures of the Caricatures I have Drawn but I promise to try harder for next time. Thanks for looking in and  Best Wishes to all.
