A little topical digital art humour.

Family Caricature
This family portrait was a digital caricature commissioned as a leaving gift from the lady’s colleagues. It features golf, pilates, wine, Harry Potter and Pokemon, as well as the family’s pet dog! My digital caricatures are a great gift you can print yourself, with a quick turnaround time as there’s no postage involved. You order and it goes straight into your inbox!
Tobe Nwigwe and Fat – Procreate Caricature
Tobe Nwigwe is one of the most consistently creative artists working today, with a singular artistic vision only matched by the prolificacy of his output. He, Fat and Nell (and the kids!) have this unified aesthetic from furniture to clothing, and the Pandemic Project was an uplifting event at a time when everything was bleak. The whole family-centred approach to music and video creation is radically wholesome and is really inspirational, but there’s room for brooding and darkness in there too. I’m a bit of a fan. It’s utterly jaw-dropping how much music he’s put out in the last year. Did I mention I’m a bit of a fan?
This is a caricture portrait of Tobe Nwigwe and Fat created in Procreate for the iPad. It’s one of the first digitally-painted pieces I’ve ever done. I intend to do a series of caricature portraits to hone my digital painting. I’m quite late to the digital game so the learning curve is somewhere between a really large hoola-hoop and one of the rings of Saturn. I’m finding it a curse and a blessing, there’s huge time savings to be had but an amazing gulf conceptually between drawing on paper and drawing and painting digitally. It’s the long way to Carnagie Hall for the next while.
Guns N Roses Fan Caricature!
This personalised digital caricature was a gift for this environmentally-conscious Guns N Roses fan! As well as rocking out to her favourite band she also loves coffee, is a teacher, and has a car with a rather high mileage! I was able to include all these references for the customer.
Wedding Gifts During Lockdown
Weddings are still happening during lockdown and one of my digital caricatures supplied by email is a perfect contactless gift to mark the big day! You might have been one of the 50, or 25, but not the 6, but still want to mark the occasion of a friend or relative’s marriage. Well you can do it from the comfort of your armchair! Just send me some photos of the couple and I’ll do the rest. Would you like to know more? Contact me via my website or PM me on the socials!
