'''The International Society of Caricature Artists''', also known as ISCA, is an international non-profit trade association. Its purpose is to promote the art of caricature, educate the public and the media about the art of caricature and to provide its members with helpful information about caricature as an as art-form as well as a profession. ISCA currently has over 450 members from around the world, and is growing every month. Members receive our quarterly magazine, exaggerated features, which has articles about caricaturing, featured artists tips and stories as well as other useful information about caricature illustration. ISCA annual convention is held each year in a different location. The convention features a guest speaker, lectures, seminars, competitions, awards and the camaraderie of your peers in the art of caricature drawing.

== History ==
ISCA was formed in 1989 by [[Wallace "Buddy" Rose]]. Buddy created a forum for caricaturists by providing a quarterly newsletter and annual convention. The original goal was to create an organization that would seek out charitable and mutual benefits for united artists. It operated briefly as a booking agency until filing its application in compliance with article 5154a making it a trade union in 1994. In 1995 the new constitution was ratified in San Antonio, TX, ISCA was granted non-profit status, and the first election was held. In 2009, ISCA officially changed its name from the National Caricaturist Network to the International Society of Caricature Artists and ratified a new constitution.

==Notable Members & Guests==
The association boasts some of the most recognizable names in the industry as members and friends of ISCA. Jack Davis, Sergio Aragones, Mort Drucker, Hermann Meija, Mark Fredrickson, Sam Viviano and Tom Richmond of Mad magazine, Jan op de Beeck, Sam Norkin, Rudy Cristiano, Bruce Blitz, C.F. Payne, Pancho Willmarth, Mike Peters, Bill Plympton and Sebastian Krüger have all been keynote speakers and members. Many ISCA members are accomplished as artists not only in caricaturing, but in other artistic fields as well.

==Professional Membership Benefits==
Beyond the obvious advantage of being recognized as an ISCA artist, there are many benefits to being an ISCA member:

* Access to all [[Exaggerated Features]] Blog content

* Complimentary softcover [[Exaggerated Features]] Annual Compendium, featuring over 140 pages of caricature art, interviews and instructional materials

* Entry to to the ISCA Facebook Professional Members discussion group

* Ability to compete and vote at the annual [[ISCAcon]]

* Free listing on the [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org] directory

* Feature spotlight artist listing on [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org]

* Discounts and free trials from our preferred vendors and sponsors

Beyond the benefits to you, there is a benefit inherent in caricaturists banding together in an organization seeking to promote their craft. As ISCA grows, we continuously promote this amazing and fun art form. Our mission is to influence and inform the public about the art of caricature. The bottom line is that there are many benefits you receive by joining our group that you can not acquire independently.

==Article Transcript==

Crayola markers are my personal favorite. Crayola ink on the other hand, could be better. I know the "frankenmarker" isn't a new concept, and many of you reading this have already made your own. The easiest way to make them is to use the Marker Maker Refill kits that come with empty sponges and tips and transparent marker barrels. Those have become very hard to find recently, so I'm going to share my method for removing the Crayola ink from a standard 10 pack of markers. I'm also going to review a couple different types of inks I've tried so you can decide what you'd like to use in your own frankenmarkers.

What you'll need:
* Crayola markers (regular or washable)

* Long nose pliers (with wire cutter and a round opening)

* Sink with running water

* Ink for refilling

Long Nose Pliers: The best pliers have a round opening near the wire cutter that fits perfectly around the cap on the back end of the Crayola marker. If you don't already have a pair, I suggest bringing a marker into the hardware store to test fit the pliers. Not all pliers have the same sized opening. An opening that's too large won't work well to remove the cap.

===Step 1: Disassemble the Markers===

Use the round opening near the wire cutter on long nose pliers to take the cap off the back end of the markers. Then use the pliers to remove the sponge from inside the marker casing. Take the cap off the front end of the marker and use the pliers to gently pull the tip out of the marker casing. Hold the pliers perpendicularly to the case, clamp the tip on the thickest part, nearest to the casing and pull it straight out. The tip will deform slightly but will reform after rinsing.

===Step 2: Rinse Out the Old Ink===

Put the tips in the bottom of the sink and make sure your drain plug keeps them from going all the way into the drain. Run luke warm water (unless you like having freezing cold hands) through the sponges one at time. The run-off will start to rinse the tips. Use two empty marker cases to create a clamp and squeeze water through the sponge until it’s all white and the water runs clear (see photos). Once the sponges have all been rinsed (this usually take less than a minute each) finish rinsing each tip one or two at a time by holding them under the running water. The tips can be a bit more stubborn, but they don’t have to be completely clean.

===Step 3: Let the Sponges and Tips Dry Completely===

Depending on temperature and climate, it may take up to two weeks to completely dry. Do not try to fill wet sponges. Most inks will not work well if mixed with water. If there is a small amount of water left in the sponge, the ink will push it out to the tip and the first few marks you make will have some strange colors and consistency. It should dissipate after drawing with the marker a little more.

===Step 4: Reassemble and Refill===

Push the tip back into the case so it’s tight and snug. Push a sponge into the casing so that it butts up agains the stem of the tip. Slowly and carefully drip ink onto the back end of the sponge inside the marker. You may want to hold the marker over a paper towel while filling. Squeeze a couple drops of ink onto the sponge, wait a second for it to soak in, then squeeze a couple more drops. Continue this process until ink can be seen soaking into the tip. Squeeze in a few more drops and let them soak in. Do not overfill. Place the caps on the front and back end. Make sure the cap on the back end is pressed in completely. If it is difficult to press in, you can use the pliers like a hammer and tap it into place.

===Step 5: Enjoy Your New Frankenmarkers!===

===REFILLING===
If your frankenmarker starts to run dry, you can use the pliers to remove the cap on the back end and drip more ink into the sponge. Just be careful not to overfill them!

'''Copic Various Ink'''
 This is my favorite replacement ink. It's super dark black, doesn't fade, and dries almost instantly. I find that I can refill a marker with Gopie ink at least four times before the sponge gets gunky and won't hold ink anymore. I get about two to four hours of drawing time out of one filling.

''BONUS TIP'': I like to mix Copic ink with isopropyl alcohol to make it last a little longer and make it a little "juicier." I like about a 4: 1 ratio of ink to alcohol. This does make the ink less black, but still darker than most India Ink.

''BONUS BONUS TIP'': I save an empty bottle of ink and buy four new ones. I then pull out the pour spout and squirt about 1/5 of each full bottle into the empty bottle (I use a light to shine through the bottle so I can see the ink and use the markings on the side of the bottle to measure the level). Now I have five bottles that are about 4/5 full of ink. I then top them off with alcohol and replace the pour spouts.

'''Blick Studio''' 
Blick has their version of Gopie markers and refill inks that work just as well as Gopie but at about half the price. I haven't done extensive testing, but it seems to be comparable.

'''India Ink (All Brands)''' 
None of the India ink brands I've tried were quite as dark black as Co pie and they all fade to gray as they dry out. They don't dry quite as quickly either, but still quicker than Crayola ink. I was never able to refill a frankenmarker with India ink. After the initial filling, the ink seems to create a seal on the back of the sponge and will not refill. I get two to four hours of drawing time out of one marker.

'''Crayola''' 
So, after all that... I went back to using Crayola markers straight out of the box. I found that when I rinse the tips and refill with other inks, the tips get ever so slightly puffy and aren't quite as sharp. I don't know if it's the act of rinsing them or the alcohol based inks, but something changes. It's very, very subtle, but I prefer the line quality I can get from a fresh Crayola right out of the box. The ink isn't perfect, but it's cheap, easy, and does the job well enough.

'''Bleed Test''' 
The photo shows an alcohol based ink, an India ink, and a fresh Crayola. I made one small mark using the side of the marker tip and then placed the point on the paper with medium pressure for five seconds The alcohol based ink bled quite a bit. The India ink did not bleed at all. The Crayola ink bled very slightly, but not nearly as much as the alcohol based ink

'''Conclusion''' 
Now, go buy some Crayolas, other inks, and try it out for yourself! I think you'll love them, but in the immortal words of Levar Burton, "you don't have to take. my word for it!"

Squeeze a couple drops of ink onto the sponge, wait a second for it to soak in, then squeeze a couple more drops. Continue this process until ink can be seen soaking into the tip. Squeeze in a few more drops and let them soak in. Do not overfill. Place the caps on the front and back end. Make sure the cap on the back end is pressed in completely. If it is difficult to press in, you can use the pliers like a hammer and tap it into place.

===Step 5: Enjoy Your New Frankenmarkers!===

'''REFILLING''' If your frankenmarker starts to run dry, you can use the pliers to remove the cap on the back end and drip more ink into the sponge. Just be careful not to overfill them!

'''Copic Various Ink'''
 This is my favorite replacement ink. It's super dark black, doesn't fade, and dries almost instantly. I find that I can refill a marker with Gopie ink at least four times before the sponge gets gunky and won't hold ink anymore. I get about two to four hours of drawing time out of one filling.

''BONUS TIP'': I like to mix Copic ink with isopropyl alcohol to make it last a little longer and make it a little "juicier." I like about a 4: 1 ratio of ink to alcohol. This does make the ink less black, but still darker than most India Ink.

''BONUS BONUS TIP'': I save an empty bottle of ink and buy four new ones. I then pull out the pour spout and squirt about 1/5 of each full bottle into the empty bottle (I use a light to shine through the bottle so I can see the ink and use the markings on the side of the bottle to measure the level). Now I have five bottles that are about 4/5 full of ink. I then top them off with alcohol and replace the pour spouts.

'''Blick Studio''' 
Blick has their version of Gopie markers and refill inks that work just as well as Gopie but at about half the price. I haven't done extensive testing, but it seems to be comparable.

'''India Ink (All Brands)''' 
None of the India ink brands I've tried were quite as dark black as Co pie and they all fade to gray as they dry out. They don't dry quite as quickly either, but still quicker than Crayola ink. I was never able to refill a frankenmarker with India ink. After the initial filling, the ink seems to create a seal on the back of the sponge and will not refill. I get two to four hours of drawing time out of one marker.

'''Crayola''' 
So, after all that... I went back to using Crayola markers straight out of the box. I found that when I rinse the tips and refill with other inks, the tips get ever so slightly puffy and aren't quite as sharp. I don't know if it's the act of rinsing them or the alcohol based inks, but something changes. It's very, very subtle, but I prefer the line quality I can get from a fresh Crayola right out of the box. The ink isn't perfect, but it's cheap, easy, and does the job well enough.

'''Bleed Test''' 
The photo shows an alcohol based ink, an India ink, and a fresh Crayola. I made one small mark using the side of the marker tip and then placed the point on the paper with medium pressure for five seconds The alcohol based ink bled quite a bit. The India ink did not bleed at all. The Crayola ink bled very slightly, but not nearly as much as the alcohol based ink

'''Conclusion''' 
Now, go buy some Crayolas, other inks, and try it out for yourself! I think you'll love them, but in the immortal words of Levar Burton, "you don't have to take. my word for it!"

This article is a How-To with [[Erik "Rowdy" Roadfeldt]]. It appears in [[Exaggerated Features]] Issue [[2020.4se]] on pages 5-7.

==Article Transcript==

Crayola markers are my personal favorite. Crayola ink on the other hand, could be better. I know the "frankenmarker" isn't a new concept, and many of you reading this have already made your own. The easiest way to make them is to use the Marker Maker Refill kits that come with empty sponges and tips and transparent marker barrels. Those have become very hard to find recently, so I'm going to share my method for removing the Crayola ink from a standard 10 pack of markers. I'm also going to review a couple different types of inks I've tried so you can decide what you'd like to use in your own frankenmarkers.

What you'll need:
* Crayola markers (regular or washable)

* Long nose pliers (with wire cutter and a round opening)

* Sink with running water

* Ink for refilling

Long Nose Pliers: The best pliers have a round opening near the wire cutter that fits perfectly around the cap on the back end of the Crayola marker. If you don't already have a pair, I suggest bringing a marker into the hardware store to test fit the pliers. Not all pliers have the same sized opening. An opening that's too large won't work well to remove the cap.

'''Copic Various Ink'''
 This is my favorite replacement ink. It's super dark black, doesn't fade, and dries almost instantly. I find that I can refill a marker with Gopie ink at least four times before the sponge gets gunky and won't hold ink anymore. I get about two to four hours of drawing time out of one filling.

'''The International Society of Caricature Artists''', also known as ISCA, is an international non-profit trade association. Its purpose is to promote the art of caricature, educate the public and the media about the art of caricature and to provide its members with helpful information about caricature as an as art-form as well as a profession. ISCA currently has over 450 members from around the world, and is growing every month. Members receive our quarterly magazine, exaggerated features, which has articles about caricaturing, featured artists tips and stories as well as other useful information about caricature illustration. ISCA annual convention is held each year in a different location. The convention features a guest speaker, lectures, seminars, competitions, awards and the camaraderie of your peers in the art of caricature drawing.

== History ==
ISCA was formed in 1989 by [[Wallace "Buddy" Rose]]. Buddy created a forum for caricaturists by providing a quarterly newsletter and annual convention. The original goal was to create an organization that would seek out charitable and mutual benefits for united artists. It operated briefly as a booking agency until filing its application in compliance with article 5154a making it a trade union in 1994. In 1995 the new constitution was ratified in San Antonio, TX, ISCA was granted non-profit status, and the first election was held. In 2009, ISCA officially changed its name from the National Caricaturist Network to the International Society of Caricature Artists and ratified a new constitution.

==Notable Members & Guests==
The association boasts some of the most recognizable names in the industry as members and friends of ISCA. Jack Davis, Sergio Aragones, Mort Drucker, Hermann Meija, Mark Fredrickson, Sam Viviano and Tom Richmond of Mad magazine, Jan op de Beeck, Sam Norkin, Rudy Cristiano, Bruce Blitz, C.F. Payne, Pancho Willmarth, Mike Peters, Bill Plympton and Sebastian Krüger have all been keynote speakers and members. Many ISCA members are accomplished as artists not only in caricaturing, but in other artistic fields as well.

==Professional Membership Benefits==
Beyond the obvious advantage of being recognized as an ISCA artist, there are many benefits to being an ISCA member:

* Access to all [[Exaggerated Features]] Blog content

* Complimentary softcover [[Exaggerated Features]] Annual Compendium, featuring over 140 pages of caricature art, interviews and instructional materials

* Entry to to the ISCA Facebook Professional Members discussion group

* Ability to compete and vote at the annual [[ISCAcon]]

* Free listing on the [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org] directory

* Feature spotlight artist listing on [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org]

* Discounts and free trials from our preferred vendors and sponsors

Beyond the benefits to you, there is a benefit inherent in caricaturists banding together in an organization seeking to promote their craft. As ISCA grows, we continuously promote this amazing and fun art form. Our mission is to influence and inform the public about the art of caricature. The bottom line is that there are many benefits you receive by joining our group that you can not acquire independently.

'''The International Society of Caricature Artists''', also known as ISCA, is an international non-profit trade association. Its purpose is to promote the art of caricature, educate the public and the media about the art of caricature and to provide its members with helpful information about caricature as an as art-form as well as a profession. ISCA currently has over 450 members from around the world, and is growing every month. Members receive our quarterly magazine, exaggerated features, which has articles about caricaturing, featured artists tips and stories as well as other useful information about caricature illustration. ISCA annual convention is held each year in a different location. The convention features a guest speaker, lectures, seminars, competitions, awards and the camaraderie of your peers in the art of caricature drawing.

== History ==
ISCA was formed in 1989 by [[Wallace "Buddy" Rose]]. Buddy created a forum for caricaturists by providing a quarterly newsletter and annual convention. The original goal was to create an organization that would seek out charitable and mutual benefits for united artists. It operated briefly as a booking agency until filing its application in compliance with article 5154a making it a trade union in 1994. In 1995 the new constitution was ratified in San Antonio, TX, ISCA was granted non-profit status, and the first election was held. In 2009, ISCA officially changed its name from the National Caricaturist Network to the International Society of Caricature Artists and ratified a new constitution.

==Notable Members & Guests==
The association boasts some of the most recognizable names in the industry as members and friends of ISCA. Jack Davis, Sergio Aragones, Mort Drucker, Hermann Meija, Mark Fredrickson, Sam Viviano and Tom Richmond of Mad magazine, Jan op de Beeck, Sam Norkin, Rudy Cristiano, Bruce Blitz, C.F. Payne, Pancho Willmarth, Mike Peters, Bill Plympton and Sebastian Krüger have all been keynote speakers and members. Many ISCA members are accomplished as artists not only in caricaturing, but in other artistic fields as well.

==Membership Benefits==
Beyond the obvious advantage of being recognized as an ISCA artist, there are many benefits to being an ISCA member:

* [[Exaggerated Features]] Blog Content

* Ability to compete at the annual [[ISCA convention]]

* Free listing on the [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org]

* Feature spotlight artist listing on [http://www.caricature.org Caricature.org]

* ISCA discounts from our preferred vendors

Beyond the benefits to you, there is a benefit inherent in caricaturists banding together in an organization seeking to promote their craft. As ISCA grows, we continuously promote this amazing and fun art form. Our mission is to influence and inform the public about the art of caricature. The bottom line is that there are many benefits you receive by joining our group that you can not acquire independently.

This is our second of two interviews we have with people who will be giving seminars at this year’s conventions. Both interviews are of artists who are attending the convention for their first time. They also both just happen to be working for Fox Animation. The parallels and similarities between the two are interesting. And so are the contrasts. That is why you will see some similar questions between the two interviews, but the answers are as unique as the artists themselves. Hopefully, these interviews will compel you to find out more about their work and ask them even more questions at the convention.

'''Q:''' Hi, David! Our members are eager to learn more about you and your work. First, let’s introduce you to our readers. Where are you from?

'''A:''' I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. but grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada. I now live in Hollywood, California.

'''Q:''' When did you first know you were interested in art?

'''A:''' It sounds cliché, but since I was old enough to hold a pencil.

'''Q:''' Are you self-taught? Or did you go to school for this?

'''A:''' For the most part I am but then honed my skills in college and I still continue to learn. I went to Sheridan College and studied Classical Animation from 1987- 1991.

'''Q:''' I see that you are currently working for Fox Animation.

'''A:''' Yes, I am a Story Revisionist on American Dad. I’ve been with FOX ANIMATION off and on since 2009, starting on Family Guy.

'''Q:''' So what is a typical workday like for you?

'''A:''' That’s a loaded question. I start my day with a coffee. After that, lots and lots of drawing and meeting deadlines. Every day the work is different, working from one episode to the next.

'''Q:''' Do you use traditional or digital to draw? If digital, which programs?

'''A:''' I’m traditionally trained but started painting in Photoshop in 2011. I use primarily 3 layers: 1-sketch (subject), 2-paint over, 3-background and one brush preset 24. I like keeping things simple.

'''Q:''' Can you tell us what you are working on now?

'''A:''' Right now, I’m working on American Dad. I started on Family Guy in 2009. and was working on and off since then to work on other projects then came back in 2016 and have been on American Dad since then..

'''Q:''' You have quite an impressive resume: character designer, animator, storyboard artist. Of all the roles you have had in animation, which is your favorite and why?

'''A:''' I love them all, keeps me fresh
and not bored. I like wearing many hats. But if I had to pick just one, I’d
say animating.

'''Q:''' You have been working in animation for some time now, with some big names such as Dream Works, Fox Animation and Jim Henson. How/where did you get your start?

'''A:''' I’m a traditional animator not a CG animator, although I can do both now. My first job in the industry was FernGully: The Last Rainforest as an inbetweener. I’ve worked on over a dozen feature films as an animator primarily and have done some visual development as well and several television series, primarily as a character designer. I’ve had a very blessed career.

'''Q:''' When at the big studios, did you work on anything we would be familiar with?

'''A:'''I was a character animator on Moses in The Prince of Egypt, Miguel in The Road to El Dorado, Littlecreek in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Proteus in Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas all at Dreamworks Animation. I also worked Space Jam and Quest for Camelot at Warner Brothers and several other features at various studios.

'''Q:''' What is your favorite animation piece you worked on and why?

'''A:''' I would have to say The Prince of Egypt. I loved the crew I worked with and have very fond memories. It’s not always the about art or project you are working on... for me it’s the crew. Although P.O.E. is stunning visually.

'''Q:''' Lots of kids dream of being animators, but I have heard the hours are long with little pay, especially in the beginning. Was it a long road to get to where you are today?

'''A:''' I wouldn’t consider it a long road to get where I’m at. I hit the ground running after college and was very fortunate to get my break in immediately after I graduated... I had a few offers from several different studios (and something that most people do not know,) I was offered an internship at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) but had to turn it down because it was an unpaid internship and couldn’t afford to do so.

'''Q:''' Is there anything that you would do differently if you had to do it all over again?

'''A:''' Not really, although I wished I had stayed at Warner Brothers to work on Iron Giant. I had left W.B. to go to Dreamworks to work on P.O.E.

'''Q:''' When did you start drawing caricatures, and what got you into the art form?

'''A:''' I’ve always drawn caricatures throughout my career, especially when I was doing character design. I only started getting serious about it when I wanted to learn Photoshop and drawing on the Cintiq. I wanted something to motivate me since I was teaching myself how to use the program. I was always a fan of Krüger’s work since the late ‘80s early ‘90s. Then became aware of Jason Seiler’s work back in 2009. I reached out to him and he’s given me some great advice throughout the years.

'''Q:'''Do you consider the two to be exclusive or does one help inform the other— which came first, caricature or animation, and does your caricature work factor into how you make a living or do you consider it a hobby?

'''A:''' Caricature, I consider just a hobby, although I have sold some prints of my work here and there over the years. Animation is my bread and butter (my day job.)

'''Q:''' Can you explain your thought
process that goes into creating a caricature?

'''A:''' Nope. Not in so many words anyway. It’s mostly trial and error with me. I’m not the “Johnny on the spot” type of caricaturist or those who do it for a living, Hats off to them! Something I find difficult.

'''Q:''' What mediums do you prefer
to use?

'''A:''' I primarily draw and paint digitally now since the whole industry has made the change. I actually prefer it now. I can execute my ideas much faster. I was a luddite at first and was a little stubborn to make the transition and was highly critical of the process.

'''Q:''' What values and attributes should an artist have to improve their craft and/or be successful?

'''A:''' A question that is often asked. Hours and hours and hours of dedication, sacrifice, being very observant, self confident along with honesty and humility... and of course the skill to be able to grow.

'''Q:''' And on the flip side, what do you think holds an artist back or is detrimental to their progress?

'''A:''' The opposite of the above question-see above question.

'''Q:''' Do you make a distinction between caricature illustration and caricature fine art?

'''A:''' Not really ... although I’m not a big fan of fine art.

'''Q:''' Is there anyone that you find very difficult to draw or hope you never have to draw again?

'''A:''' I see everyone as somewhat of a challenge although there are those who are easier than some others.

'''Q:''' Do you have mentors? I had a few when I started out.

'''A:''' My Dad to start off, along with Charlie Bonifacio and Darlie Brewster.

'''Q:''' Which artists—living or dead— do you admire the most, or have influenced you the most?

'''A:''' There are quite a few... Milt Kahl, Robert Bateman, Paul Calle, Sebastian Kr􀅱ger, Brian Froud, Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, Gil Elvgren, Drew Struzan... and many, many more.

'''Q:''' What do you do for work, and how do caricatures fit into that?

'''A:''' My caricature work is what I do on my own time. I’ve never done it for a living. The only way it would ever fit in would be my character design work.

'''Q:''' How do caricatures fit into your daily life, and where else do you see the art of caricature in your day-to-day life?

'''A:''' It comes and goes throughout my days now. I haven’t done much work these days in regards to caricature. Months will go by before I feel compelled or inspired to do
one or on the very rare occasion someone has asked me .

'''Q:''' Do you do or have you done any teaching?

'''A:''' I’ve done some. I prefer to teach all aspects of drawing. You need a strong foundation of the fundamentals before you should start doing caricature.

'''Q:''' Why do you think caricature is an important art form?

'''A:''' A question I have no idea how to answer... It’s fun to do and therapeutic for me.

'''Q:''' I see this is your first convention with us. Do you have any goals?

'''A:''' To be honest, I have no expectations since this is my first. I am looking forward to meeting the people I’ve been in contact with online for many years to finally meet face to face. For my presentation, perhaps they can learn something that they didn’t already know.
