George Ferguson

Got a commission to do a caricature of George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol!

Birthday Present for a Young Salt!

A personalised caricature completed in pen ink and watercolour.

£150.00

Nick's partner Rhona asked me to do this caricature for his 60th birthday present. The design went through several permutations......

                                An initial sketch free of charge just to get a  feel for the likeness.

An advanced sketch with adjustments to the face and a proposed theme.

At this point we discussed the final price for the artwork.

A quick snapshot for Rhona of the work in progress - just to make sure everything was how she wanted it.

I had an idea which really cracked me up at this point - I penciled in his feet standing on the seabed. Rhona laughed a lot but we both agreed this was just a bit too silly!!

The work was completed at a relaxed pace over the course of 2 or three weeks so there was plenty of time to think things over and come up with just the right design.

Thanks Rhona!

Mmmmmm...

The other day I wasn't too busy with the caricatures so I did something experimental.
