more "rejects" from REJECTS

In my book, available this July, you will see many extreme caricatures of real people from the theme parks, but some images didn't make it to the book. Some due to editing and space and others due to quality. Either way, here are some of Rejects' REJECTS.

REJECT

This is of caricaturist and character artist Dave Wolter. He's very very talented and was working with me at Knott's Berry Farm this day. I tried about 8 times to capture him and this is what I got. I was pretty happy with it, but just lacked space in the book.

This boy got a free demo drawing- Black and White, completed in about 2 minutes. He walked away and I continued to color it from memory (which often produces the most interesting result, as you're now committed to the drawing, not the subject). When his family came back, they laughed histerically saying, "He does look like a little old man- we tell him that ALL THE TIME!" ...yet they wouldn't spring even $8 for the sketch. No worries, though... they genuinely liked the drawing and had a good laugh. Unfortunately, it's not quite good enough for the book, but I can at least show it here.

I've just confirmed that I'll be drawing in the Southern California Kaman's Art Shoppes theme parks from June 2-June 17. I'm really looking forward to it and plan on really stretching the quality of the drawings, the appeal of the product to customers (sales) and overall exaggeration. It will be a good time, drawing next to some great caricature artists. If you're in CA, drop me a line and stop by and get a cheap, funny sketch!
