Art Facilitation
I’ll be doing some facilitation with school groups in Oughterard on Monday. I should get some good images from it. I’m basically using cartoons to document the discussions. It’s usually fun.

Free Caricature Tutorials!
Something I’m following very closely is this in depth tutorial from the brilliant Tom Richmond of MAD magazine.
People often ask me at parties and weddings where I learned to draw caricatures. While it’s been a lifelong interest I have to tell them I’m actually self-taught, as it’s not on any third level curriculum I’m aware of. I’ve had some excellent pointers from others in the field here in Ireland, but the main skill came from jumping off the deep end and learning on the job. Many gifted young draughtsmen (gender-neutral) who’d like to get into caricatures will now have an excellent kick-off point with Tom’s tutorial.
Off course, breaking into editorial caricatures is increasingly difficult as many papers use crude photoshop stitch jobs done in-house (I’m looking at you Sunday Times!).
Break Update…
I had another x-ray today after my fall. I’m well on the mend but I had a look at the x-rays myself, and essentially the tip of the radius (the green line at the top) was broken off and the break goes right up to the joint. I’d have definitely fainted/screamed if I’d realised that in A&E. Maybe they kept it from me. Anyway, I’ve another check-up in 4 weeks and I’m not to do any heavy lifting. Just how heavy is a pint of stout anyway?
Henry Thomas’ Audition Tape for E.T.
I’d been meaning to look this up ever since I saw it on a documentary about ET. Listen to Speilberg’s line at the end.
