I fundraise for Animal Shelters as a Pet Caricature Artist. The first year I turned out crap caricatures. I made a ton of money for the Forever Homes for Paws: to my surprise. So I was asked back but felt guilty for not providing a quality product.
Georg Williams created his own style of caricatures that are both sweet and reflective of the animal's personality. I have redrawn every image I could find of his life's work. So you will see his influence and some of the below images are my GW practice.
Tom Richmond the GOAT for humans was another artist whom I drew and redrew until I was able to confidently add my own style. I probably filled six large sketch books just redrawing his catalog. I was never really able to come close to his skill level but that didn't stop me.
My animal caricatures are influenced by GW and his influence is apparent. There is an upcoming fundraiser where I am the main event. Pray for me. Although I am not confident in my finished products, I am able to turn out a better product than last year's attempt.
I hope that Georg is looking down on my effort with a smile because my intent, through donations, is to fill the jar to the top. I take nothing: I'm not really selling the caricatures. I credit Georg on my sign. Although anyone familiar with his work will see it immediately.
Getting money for VET bills is my passion. Drawing animals brings me joy. I am practicing at least one hour a day until the event. Did I already say, "pray for me"?
I still have two weeks to incur a miracle. Here are a few of the thousand attempts I have made so far.
