This is my caricature of 'Caricaturist' and all round amazing artist 'Jason Seiler, I've called it 'Dirty-Seiler".
This is for a art challenge due to coincide with a videocast interview in 'Bobby Chiu's
Shoolism.com website. I've got to wait till tomorrow before I can upload it though.

This is Prismacolor pencils and graphite background with a touch of Photoshop to tidy it up a bit. I think this is the best caricature I've ever done!

Let's 'Start' with the 'End'



This is my submission for the online forum 'conceptart.org'.

The theme is 'Super Stylised Amazon Woman Warrior'.

'Start' with the 'End' because the moderator has just announced that June was the final month for this challenge because of cut backs!!!!!
