==Article Transcript==
This past October, Loftworks
Gallery in Cleveland, OH partnered
with the International
Society of Caricature Artists and The
California Boys to present Sketchbook
Heroes: Caricatures of Rock Legends.
The month-long show had opening
and closing receptions and was home
to a collection of caricatures from
internationally known artists and
relative newcomers alike. The show
was marketed as a unique unveiling
of the vast world of caricature art.
The public is largely familiar with caricature
art by our retail and gig work,
but that doesn’t always represent the
scope of our abilities. For caricature
artists, the annual ISCA convention
is our Super Bowl and one of the few
chances we get to show each other
what we’ve got. If the convention
is for the artists and retail is for the
customer, we thought a gallery show
would be a cool new look at caricature
art for the public.
Visitors were exposed to a wide range
of styles and mediums by over a dozen
artists from all over the globe. Digital
illustrations by Maria Picassó, Lindsey
Olivares, Brian Oakes, and Rob Hren
shared space with traditional mediums,
everything from oils to watercolors
to acrylic to ink and graphite – some
artists showing examples of both
digital and traditional work. This year’s
ISCA Con guest speaker, Tom Fluharty,
showed two of his original indigo
pencil drawings (KISS and Ace Frehley)
that would go on to be auctioned off
at the convention. Tom Richmond
submitted a “Sketch O’ The Week”
drawing of Little Richard, done exclusively
for the show. Glenn Ferguson
had some prints and originals lined up
on a wall of his own. Jan op de Beeck
submitted about forty watercolor and
pencil sketches, of which we narrowed
down to about twelve – including a
Tom Petty that was a last-minute addition
following the news of his passing.
Also featured in the show were Jeremy
Townsend, Annie Broutman, Mark
Tippett, Dom Bianchi, Robert Shingler,
Derek Brennan, and Tom Faraci. About
half the artists in the show submitted
their version of David Bowie, allowing
the gallery to arrange a Bowie wall,
which was a great way to showcase
how one subject can yield many distinct
caricatures.
Sketchbook Heroes officially opened on
October 6. The gallery had rock music playing and hors d’oeuvres for guests to enjoy as they walked around. A few of the featured artists attended and walked people through the gallery, describing the different styles and techniques, such as Robert Shingler’s mixed media paintings and Derek Brennan’s encaustic work. The show ran through the rest of the month and went out with a closing reception on October 28. Derek Brennan and Tom Faraci held an artist talk with attending guests, speaking about the background and influence of all of the artists featured in the gallery. Robert Shingler then went on to do a painting demo, working on a caricature of Alice Cooper and taking questions from the crowd. Over the course of the whole event, some pieces were sold, we got some local news coverage, and even caught the eye of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator. Loftworks hopes to team up with ISCA again to make this show an annual tradition. With year one in the books, we hope to make 2018’s event even bigger and reach a wider audience. Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, sponsored, and helped organize Sketchbook Heroes: Caricatures of Rock Legends
