+Getting In Tune with ''Sketched Out''
 What happens when a caricature artist who also writes and performs his own music combines the best of both of his passions? I guess it could be caricatures about music, but in Adam English’s case it was a CD of songs about drawing caricatures. These songs combine the feelings of dealing with caricature customers in a retail environment with some catchy music and lyrics.

 '''Adam:''' Well, yeah, you know, I was going to be a writer. That was always my ambition. Songwriter is what I turned out to be. I’ve been doing caricatures for so many years that a lot of these younger artists that see my sketch say, oh, uh. They thought it would be better, I guess, because I am not as good as lot of guys these days, you know, it’s true — you can’t wave your arms without hitting 25 amazing caricature artists, and I don’t count myself among them. Although I didn’t end up making my primary living at it, the thing that I always felt I did well was write songs. I enjoy drawing caricatures a lot, and I enjoy writing songs a lot, and I wouldn’t want to give either of them up. People often ask me which one I enjoy more: I wouldn’t want to live without either of them.

 '''Adam:''' Caricatures is what puts bread on my table. So for sure that is more of my time. Music has always been my HOBBY, and that’s not to say I haven’t made a little money at it. My claims to fame, musically speaking, include in 2002, we sold a song to Disney. It was the theme song for a Saturday morning cartoon called (Disney’s) Fillmore! That was an amazing, awesome, really cool cartoon that was on ABC from 2002 to 2004. That was an amazing experience. We got a call one day from Scott M. Gimple, and at the time he was the producer of a very hip Disney show that was in development. The interesting thing about Scott Gimple is he is now the show runner for The Walking Dead, so he did really well for himself. But at that time, we knew who he was because my songwriting partner Rand has an eidetic memory. He is a librarian and remembers everything he has ever heard in his entire life. At that time, we
