Caricatures circa 1991

Qaddafi
(interestingly I put him in a straight jacket)


Freddie Mercury

Bob Geldof
(if you're in your 20's or 30's you may have to do a Google search) ;)


Paul McCartney
(looking very boyish)


Mike Tyson



Princess Diana
I so admired her by the way
My friends and I woke up at 4am to watch the royal wedding

Prince Charles
(no Pinocchio inference intended - just playing with exaggerated features)

Lionel Richie
(seems to be more of a contour line portrait than a caricature)

Tom Petty

Carlos Santana

Oliver North


Donald Trump


On a recent weekend trip to my parents' house I discovered (while snooping under the bed of the guest room) a collection of caricatures I had done fresh out of SCAD. I thought they were interesting in light of what has happened over the past 20 plus years. Just thought I'd share
PS. Thanks for never throwing away anything Mom!!

    Oh Brilliant Mary! Isn't it like finding old friends when you come across your old artworks? What a treat to see! What other treasures has your mum stored? I've found a few more these holidays too... grace

    Ab/Fab, Mary! The Bob Geldof really took me back to all of his good works on behalf of humanity and I too was up at O'Dark thirty to watch Princess Diana marry that unfaithful sot! Ha! Too bad my mom threw out all of my things over several moves......Nothing on the level of your caliber tho'!
