Wedding Anniversary Present


This a recent wedding anniversary present based on a pic of my client’s mum and dad on their wedding day in the 70s, the decade that produced Star Wars, space hoppers and me. Elizabeth is a repeat client as I did a caricature of her sister as a birthday present about 2 years ago, so I’m slowly working my way through the family!
This is a photograph rather than a scan and I got a lovely frame on it courtesy Mark and Sandra in The Framing Loft in Terryland. Contact me for details of these unique birthday, wedding and anniversary presents.

I’m on a float with a disturbingly shallow wheelbase, but it’s actually quite steady, and once I get past that initial 15 seconds of telling Debbie the director that I can’t do it, it’s fine. I had my own trusty photographer with me that day: my son Naoise, who held his own among the likes of Joe Shaughs and Andrew Downes. The following are all his shots.
The parade is on this Sunday the 20th July. I’ll put a Google Map up of the route when I know what it is!

Wrong, wrong, wrong

New Yorker, you’ve fallen flat on your face if you consider this satirical. There’s no gag, no slugline, no play. If you wanted to reference the terrorist fist jab you could have riffed on terrorists bumping fists saying, yeah I saw it on Fox, they called it a terrorist fist jab.
This is an EPIC SATIRE FAIL.
