I guess you might call this getting published!

A few apps I worked on (which is what I do for a living these days) are now available for Android units! Check out "Brightwood Adventures", "Monster Park" and the newest one, "Slot Play". "Slot Play" is a variation, I gather, on slot machines (I don't actually know the deatils, as I don't actually own an actual Android machine myself). I'm especially eager for people to check this one out because I did all the designs and animations on four of the levels, including a Hollywood themed one and a music themed one that are all caricatures of famous stars/ singers. I also did the caveman and nightclub levels, so check those out too!

Look at him, renning all over the place!

I really don't like that I'm posting, like, a caricature a month. How am I nop finding time for more than that?

Anyway, here's Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in the fantastic movie, The Avengers! Seriously, have you seen this movie? It's just awesome!

I'm thinking I'm gonna do a whole group shot, all in this 70s comic book kinda style. So... you know... there's something for you to get excited about.

This is for E-Caricatures' May contest, by the way. We had an Avengers theme. I picked Jeremy just because I felt like the poor guy is getting less attention from the film than anyone else in it. This should make him feel better.

A Caricawoozle

This is Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, just a quick, rough sketch for this month's E-Caricatures contest. I really wanted to do a whole body in his own drawing style, but this was all I ended up having time for.

Sorry, head and shoulders only.

Raquel Welch, for this month's E-Caricatures contest:

Dontest 2, Don Tester!

Hey, I've finally put up a second Caricatures by Don Facebook Page contest up on Caricatures by Don's Facebook Page! I thought that would be the most appropriate place for it. It's got a prize and everything, so if you "Like" Caricatures by Don", go here to check out the details: http://www.facebook.com/notes/caricatures-by-don/the-second-official-caricatures-by-don-facebook-page-contest-finally/363122867060839. And if you don't "Like" Caricatures by Don... "Like" it. Then go check out the details!

Good luck! Have fun! Win!

Brosnan... Remington Brosnan.

Our theme for the E-Caricatures contest this month is James Bond. We were supposed to choose any actor who's played James Bond and do a caricature of him. I went with Pierce Brosnan, I guess because he was Bond when I first started taking an interest in Bond films. He may not be my favourite 007 (3rd, if I had to rank them all, although, in fairness, I've never seen Lazenby's Bond), but Goldeneye is still, in my opinion, one of the best of the films.


I also did this one, in an attempt to push the exaggerations further, but I think I may have lost some of the likeness in doing so:

FINALLY, I exact my revenge for all the suffering and misery his tyranny has brought to me!

Here's my caricature sketch of Mahatma Gandhi, for this month's E-Caricatures contest.

Kind of a niche market, but still... I'm published.

A couple of teachers at Oakland Christian School, with the help of a bunch of their students, all big LOST fans, have written a few books analyzing how various aspects of episodes of LOST relate to Christian principles. They're meant as helps/ workbooks/ discussion starters in Christian studies, for LOST fans. Each volume focuses on a different season of the show. LOST Lessons 3, focusing, obviously, on season 3, has just been published. The reason I mention it here is that my caricatures of the LOST cast are used as some of the book's illustrations. So... that's cool and stuff.

Three posts in one day? Don't expect 2012 to be like this all the time.

My son told me after school today that, for art class, their teacher showed them the artwork of a bunch of different famous artists, and gave them the assignment to try to copy the style of one of them. The artist the majority of his classmates decided to try to copy? Yeah. Don Pinsent.

World's most distinguished comb-over.

Here's another contest entry I did up pretty quickly today. It's Sir Richard Attenborough, for Wittygraphy.com.

I know Charlie Brown has never aged a day since the the moment Charles Schulz created him and all, but if he ever did age-- like, a lot-- this is what I imagine he'd look like.

J.K. Jonah K. Jameson.

Yeah, hopefully, I'll have more caricatures to show for my time in 2012. I mean, I'm not gonna go using the word "resolution" or anything, but.... here's hoping.

For now, here's J.K. Simmons, of whom I've been a fan ever since his occasional role on Law & Order. This is for Facebook's weekly caricature challenge, Caricaturama Showdown 3000.

I thought this was the woman in that movie Madame X Vs. Sever. I was wrong.

The theme for this month's E-Caricatures caricature contest is figures from famous portraits. I did this one of John Singer Sargent's Madame X:



I'm thinking it would be cool to start up a series of these.

GO THERE NOW!!!! NOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you are caricaturists, the November caricature contest at E-Caricatures just went up, with a very intriguing theme, and, for the first time ever, AN ACTUAL PRIZE!!! Click the link for the details!

E-Caricatures - November 2011 Contest- WITH ACTUAL PRIZE!!!!

Best remembered, of course, for her star turn in "Fair Game"...

Here's my caricature sketch of obscure, little-known fashion model Cindy Crawford. Done for the current contest at Wittygraphy.com.

La la la la, laughter. (Yes? No?)

Jim Henson, for this month's E-Caricatures contest. I knew a lot of people were going to (and already had) included references to Kermit the Frog, he being the first Muppet and the one Henson was always best known for. But I wanted mine to pay tribute to a Muppet to whom I had always been a little more partial.

Light the Night Walk 2011

K, so this is not caricature related, but I want to get this out there any way I can: My family and I are doing this walk on the Halifax Commons for Cancer Research Fundraising, on October 22nd. We're doing it in loving memory of my father-in-law, who died of cancer almost two years ago. He was one of the best men I've ever known, but cancer doesn't care.

Anyway, you can help us out by clicking the link and donating. Any amount will help. I know (Believe me, I know!) not everyone can afford a $100 or $50 or $25 donation, but if you can afford $5 or $10, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Her Latfiahness, the Queen.

I totally forgot to post this here! It was my entry in the E-Caricatures September challenge, Queen Latifah.

Don't try calling these guys when your house is being broken into. They don't think it's funny. Trust me.

I finally finished my next full-fledged piece. It's the Police.

Still me, but a bit older.

So, my birthday just passed. This is the AWESOME print my wife got dry-mounted for me as a birthday present. Now I have to figure out where in our house it will "work".

PAAAARTYYYY!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!YEAH!!! MORE SPECIFICALLY, WEDDING PAAAARTYYYYY!!!!! WOOOO-HOOOO!!!

I don't often post my commission work, but this was a project I was particularly happy with, and it was mostly because the client was a dram to work with. He commissioned caricatures, from photos, of his wedding party o give them as gifts. He never once haggled over price; he sent at least 5 photos of each person to be drawn, all taken from different angles; he made no unreasonable demands; and he had no problem with me exaggerating people's features. In fact, the more i exaggerated them, the more he seemed to love the results. With the exception of the first one, that is. That was the only one on which he asked me to tone down the exaggerations, and personally, I feel like that hurt the likeness somewhat, but he was happy with it, so fair enough.

Feedback is welcome.
