I don't remember how this trend got started.
Most probably my desperation for a quick card led me to trying my hand at a birthday caricature. Extracting key, recognizable traits I aimed to accurately summarize a friend on a folded card. Not so dissimilar from identity work although infinitely more giggle inducing. They have received so much appreciation that it's now become a tradition for special occasions, birthdays or farewells and gets me to loosen up and simply enjoy drawing some true characters.
Allow me to Introduce You
Nadeeka This lady of luxury holds court amongst her close set of friends either topping their glasses with Prosecco or her exquisite Naha Tea brand from her native Sri Lanka. I think it was our common love of Corbusier that brought us together. |
Jackie Good-hearted, mother of 2, infectious with her laughter, huge smile & large pendants. No one works a cocktail or a floor-length dress like Ms. Choo from Christmas Island. |
Would make a fun book!
