Subwaysurfer Gift Caricature Section

I frequently get requests from clients to do gift caricatures for business clients, friends, and love ones. I incorporate a person's favorite hobby, sayings, or aspirations, into the caricature once I gather all the info. Above all when Im doing this type of work I steer away from the SXTREME caricature style that i love, and instead make them look ...er... "better" than they look!
Here are a few examples of that work.

Exaggerated Features Magazine Article and Pictures

This caricature was used to accompany an article I wrote for the Caricature Industry magazine, "Exaggerated Features". I included additional illustrations for the captions as well, but space did not allow to print everything. Oh, well, that's how publishing is.
This is my second article I wrote for Exaggerated Features( I wrote/illustrated one previously in 2006 on "How to Subway Surf featured here also.) and I feel honored to be in it, especially when I consider the amount of raw talent the organization has among its membership. They like me! they really like me! sniff.... sob....whimper...

Character Design For Caricature Artist Alison Gelbman and "Butchie" Da Dog Character Design

Caricature Artist, ALison Gelbman at www.caricatureexpress.com has one of those personalities that practically "beg" to be animated. I plan on doing a short feature around her character one of these days and it took me months to come up with the perfect character design for her She goes by the moniker, "the Nice caricature artist" but can be pretty nasty sometimes based on mood.
Butchie, my dog, is another character that begs to be animated, and I chose toanimate his PERSONALITy... if that makes sense_ rather than do a literal exaggeration of hi. I like this design because its nice and comfact and i can see myself doing it EASILY something I learned the HARD way working with various animation producers.

Misc crowd scenes needed for the film. These were really great to do as I added friends, various people I sketched on the subway and even myself. This crowd scene was originally drawn for the opening sequenc of the fil where people are lined up in droves for the big funeral. The scene is supposed to end by showing celebs, mistresses,etc. the illos had to be cut from the film as time and money dictated the decision. A shame too, because it took a looong time to draw this.
