Caricature: Cruise Line Crew




I was commissioned to do a group caricature for the office crew of a Princess Cruise Line staff. Along with the group photo I was sent info pertaining to the specific duties of each staff member. Makes a great framed piece of art to hang in the office. Here, I've also included the actual group photo so you can judge the likenesses yourself.

Fantasy Caricature


I have found that caricature artwork can range from the common to the sublime. From a simple line sketch to something much more intricate. The main subject in this caricature was a lady who held a mythical/spiritual belief in life, plus a love of nature. This artwork is an attempt to represent not only the likeness of the subject, but also those things dear to her personal life.

GEORGE M, the Tshirt


One of my guilty pleasures in life is musical theatre. Recently I joined the cast of "GEORGE M" at the Melon Patch Playhouse in Leesburg, Florida. It was my honor to design the artwork for the cast Tshirt . The artwork design BEING the cast itself!

SOL MATES


Shortly after relocating to Lake County, Florida, I developed the concept for a cartoon strip called "Sol Mates", featuring a cast of characters naturally found in the state of Florida. I liked the idea of using the play on words "soul mates" and "sol mates" ("sol" being the Spanish word for sun)

THE CROCODILE HUNTER


Months after the untimely death of Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, I created this caricature in tribute. A copy of this artwork found its way to the Australia Zoo, and I am told it is still displayed there to this day.

OLD OHIO HOME




Besides cartoons, comics and caricatures, I have an interest in architecture and old homes. Here are two Victorian-style homes, somewhere in Preble Co. Ohio that I was commissioned to recreate several years ago. They don't make em like this anymore.

ONCE UPON A TIME











"Once upon a time" I created artwork for a Novelty Company that produced video games. Here, the game was called "Once Upon A Time", based on characters from Mother Goose stories.
























THE PINK GATOR


I was commissioned to create this character for a gentleman to add to his website, promoting classified advertisements in Central Florida. Would make a great mascot/logo for someone who wants to open a new business: The Pink Gator Shoppe or Le Pink Gatour Salon. Any offers?
