Finishing half done Caricatures

I'm now determined to finish all the half done digital caricatures that are on my computer, good or bad. There are just to many and I really need to clear up the computer so this gives me a good chance to try and get a lot of work out in one go.

Here is Russell Brand which was pretty much finished already just never posted it anywhere, and Jack Nicholson which was very quickly.

Stag Do T-Shirt Design

I was bestman at a wedding recently and decided to do a caricature for my mates stag T-shirts. I do many fo these but this one was great as I actually got to wear the T-shirt.

Back to Live Work

Back at last working live, I have not done any live work in a while because of the birth of my son. So its great to be back. This was a great job only one photo though and its not of any drawings sorry.

Back to the Gigs

Back to working live again, I have been leaving this work for the last few months what with everything that has gone on. Its great to be back I love working live and this was a brilliant day, unfortunately only one photograph no drawings just me:(

Caricature Shack and some newish Caricatures

So I have had a bit of a break lately and are just getting back into having lots of work again. I have finally split JPA Studios into a seperate caricature company called the Caricature Shack.

The website will be up and running soon http://www.caricatureshack.co.uk/. JPA Studios will now be just Fine Art and Architecture. While things are getting sorted out I thought I would start posting again so these are some that were hanging about.

I'm Back

I'm finally starting to get back to normal, after the birth of my son Finn Johannes McCarthy. Hopefully now I will start to do some work although I'm finding it quite difficult to stop being with him for any period of time.

Pete Doherty

I did this one about a year ago and hated it, But when I looked at it again I kind of like it. I feel it somes him up, a mess.

Finished Boris Yeltsin

I worked on my Yeltsin sketch and saw a lot of things I did not like, so here is my finished version.

George Best

I have been meaning to finish this for along time but could not get it quite right. I'm a huge fan and grew up watching videos of him constantly so this was one piece I wanted to get right. I think this is as close as I can get at the moment. I found him a hard person to capture as he was very well loved by women, but quite strange looking and to try to capture that twinkle in his eye was a challenge.

Lenny Kravitz and James Dean

Ball point pen and black marker sketch of Lenny Kravitz and pencil of James Dean

Russell Crowe

I just worked on the Russell Crowe sketch, decided to change his look to the gladiator style instead of the present look with the longer hair.
