Coffee Mugs

Really. There's always more than one way to skin a cat; there's always more than one way to skin a caricature. The direction the head goes in has more to do with attitude than with form. . . You can't put them far too much at cross-purposes or else you lose the structure, but you should always favor essence over form. Internal over foundation.

Expression has its input on direction as well.

And form will make its demands...

But most times the inner child must come through.

  1. Love the first one- is he spitting food, coughing uncovered or simply breathing the detritus of modern complication? A couple of real gems, here.

  2. He had rambling tattoos and I thought to continue their echo into his immediate environment since that seemed to be quite a bit of what he was about. His tattoos are added quietly on my drawing, if you look closely, you can find them.

  3. Wow, nice set. There is a balance of flow, structure, insight and humor that is making my chest feel light and my mouth smile ear to ear.
