Could I? Probably, but I much prefer to work in my studio at a more comfortable pace perfecting a likeness that satisfies both myself and the client. If you have a project where you need a likeness, I&#8217;m certainly willing and able. All I ask for is a series of high quality reference images to work from and I&#8217;m on my way.<\/p>\n<p>As a kid, I remember soaking up all the parodied celebrity caricatures in <em>Mad Magazine<\/em> by talented artists like Jack Davis, Mort Drucker and Tom Richmond. Celebrities are great for practice as they are highly recognizable subjects with plenty of reference to pull from. I like to try my hand at a caricature\/character portrait from time to time and have done a number of commissioned caricatures\/portraits for clients over the years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
