What is it like to be a caricature artist :)

To be a caricature artist for me, is to enjoy work as if it was play.   Getting paid is a bonus.
 A caricaturist like me spends a lot of her time sketching, thinking about cartoon bodies,
 colors, art supplies, etc.

Some of the usual things a caricaturist is asked on a daily basis are:

  How long have you been drawing?  I usually answer: oh, about half an hour!
Where did you go to school to learn caricatures?  Well, of course!
 I went to the Caricature Institute of Las Vegas, Nevada!  Not really,
 I went for Fine Art at the Kansas city Art Institute.
 I learned caricatures at Circus-Circus in Las Vegas.
 I really live to paint and paint to live.
  Will you share your thoughts and questions in the comments?
 I would love to hear from you!

Volunteer Caricatures

Caricatures speak the universal language of laughter, a languaje which is not limited by geographical boundaries or financial status. It is only limited to accessibility and exposure. I always wanted to share my drawing skills to make children smile. Every Wednesday I head out with my easel, paper, and colors to the Children's Mercy Hospital in my hometown, to draw sketches of the young patients, who enjoy getting their caricature drawn, happily getting involved in choosing a cartoon body according to their favorite hobby,sport, or hero.
