It's important to understand that most artists of any accomplishment aren't a camera; they don't draw what they see, they draw what they want you to see... ~Robert Beverly Hale identified this as a truism.
Caricature is freed from the shackles of copying, and its joy is its freedom of interpretation and visual libel.

IF ...safari

In 1909 Theodore Roosevelt went on safari in what is now Kenya and bagged six rare white rhinos... ~~and over 11,000 other animals to boot.
He found a lot of animals,
but never found the presidency again.

IF ...beginner

Can you take me back where I came from? Can you take me back?

Meeting your maker is a solemn undertaking.
Making a caricature is a solemn undertaking.
Meeting your caricaturist at a solemn meeting is the best part of the meeting.
Meeting your solemn undertaker is best left till later.
