Gene Weingarten Caricature
Funnyman (and Pulitzer Prize Winner) from the Washington Post. I tune in every Tuesday for his online chat, wherein he analyzes and deconstructs humour, and discusses bathroom wiping-habits in a high-browed fashion.

Bill Bailey Caricature
WOOHOO !!! A year-and-a-half trying to draw digital caricatures and I finally figured out how to use the airbrush to get decent skintones. Bill Bailey’s beard looks a bit “stuck on” though in this pic, and the mouth is wonky. But still, I like this one so I do. One of the few great comedians I haven’t managed to see live yet. Next Irish gig - I’m there …
Elton John Caricature (Take 2)
I was never happy with my previous Elton John effort, so I spent an hour or so this evening cleaning it up. This still looks a bit ‘cartoony’ but much better though I reckon. Now I can finally sleep at night!
Work Leaving Present
The departing Managing Director of Rabodirect. I somehow managed to make him look much younger in this drawing. I’m sure he won’t mind.
