Hi caricature world!
I just want to say that I am super honored
to be on the cover of Exaggerated Features!
Thanks to everyone who thought
my drawings were actually funny for the
last couple conventions. I always try to
tell a story and make my audience laugh
with every piece so hopefully you got a
little chuckle out of this one. The video
shows most of my process so I'm going to
take this opportunity to tell some of the
backstory.
When Debbie told me they were doing
an article about my friends Adam English
and Eric Goodwin and their music, I was
so excited. Adam trained me to draw
caricatures way back in 2003 and without
him my life would be completely different.
Probably better but, still, I owe him. I also
had the pleasure of working and living
with Eric in San Diego. His work melts my
brain and his coloring techniques light my
eyes with technicolor flames. He's cool.
With the Pokemon Go! craze in full effect
I couldn't think of anything more topical
and fun to draw and I figured it was a cool
opportunity to put a bunch of my friends
into the mix. Adam is Lickitung and Eric
is Psyduck, if you're unfamiliar with the
whole Pokemon thing (I was too!). Beau
Hufford, Sakiko 'Satsu' Ushioda, Nate Kap,
Brian Oakes and Bob Camp (not a personal
friend, but a personal hero!) make
up the other Pokemon. I share most of
my ideas with Beau and he always makes
them better and six times funnier. It was
his idea to have everyone on their phones
and completely ignoring all the action
going on.
Behind them is the rest of the Buffalo caricature
crew as the Pokemon catcher people:
Bill Gallagher, Myself, and Rob Dumo.
I was so lucky to grow up in Buffalo and
learn from a bunch of incredible world
class caricature artists. I've worked for all of them and they will all tell you how
great an employee I am; always on time.
Finally, to the left, is "team Rocket" of
Stacy Pierce, Matt Zitman, and Sean
Favre who, besides inspiring me, have become
great friends and always make me
laugh. Conventions are exactly 3.4 times
more fun with them around... Except for
Matt.
This is my first completely digital piece.
I originally planned to redo the entire thing in watercolor after sketching it out
digitally, but I've been really enjoying
drawing on my iPad Pro and thought
what better time to jump in head first
and do something I've never done before
than with the cover of Exaggerated
Features! Hope you guys dig it and don't
figure out that I'm usually the least funny
guy in the room.
Love you guys!
Jeremy
