While training caricatures in California for Kaman's Art Shoppes (mid-June, '06), I sub'd for a friend at a gig at a large hotel near the San Diego convention center, for a group of accountants. Along with a few other artists, including good friends Court Jones and Gabe Hunt, I got the rare opportunity to really let loose and do what I wanted (as did everyone else).This crowd was trying to prove that accountants aren't boring, but 'hip'. I heard nearly every guest talk about this, and being able to read people after years of drawing caricatures, we all knew this and really had a blast - on paper, with our crass wit, and every way possible. The group loved nearly every sketch, even when they seemed offended. It was great.
Each image was completed in anywhere from 10-25 minutes with a Staedtler MarsGraphic 3000 brushpen and shaded with a black Prismacolor Art Stix.
