As part of this special issue, I reached out to two of these double unicorns who are just killing it, Arie Monroe and Krystal Simmons.
'''How long have you been acaricature artist?'''<br>
ARIE: I have been a caricature artist since 1997-8, so about 20 years.</br>
KRYSTAL: Since summer 2005, so
15 years.</br>
'''Where are you based and who doyou work for?'''</br>
ARIE: Currently, I live in Kansas City, Missouri and I work for myself under Drawlikecrazy Studios LLC. I also work as a contracted caricature artist for events, trade shows and parties.</br>
KRYSTAL: Allentown, Pennsylvania.
and Goofy Faces.
'''What got you into caricatures?'''<br>
ARIE: I loved cartoons and worked at an amusement park when I was 16. I saw a guy drawing caricatures and every chance I got I would talk to him and look over his shoulder. The next summer I got a job at the same park, but I applied to be an artist because I wanted to improve my drawing.<br>
KRYSTAL: I always liked to draw as a child, particularly people and cartoon characters. In the summer of 2004, I started working retail (not caricatures, just park gift shops) at Dorney Park. On my breaks I would pass the caricature stand to go to lunch, and I became totally fascinated. I would go on to apply as a caricature artist the following summer.
