Welcome to the first edition of a new feature here in Exaggerated Features, the ISCA

==Article Transcript==
Welcome to the first edition of a new feature here in Exaggerated Features, the ISCA
Member Spotlight! Past issues of EF have dedicated plenty of space to interviews
with superstar caricature artists, convention speakers, and the like, but we want
this feature to be all about YOU — our members. We want to know all about your
approach to art, the kind of work you do, your influences, and all of the individual
details that form the unique tapestry of ISCA. This, along with our new Op-Ed section
introduced in the last EF, is an effort on our part to give a voice to our members.
The best part is that any registered ISCA member can participate! Just go here and
fill out the form!

For our first spotlight, I’ve decided to pull from another fantastic pillar of our
organization: The ISCA Members Facebook Contest! ISCA Treasurer Erik “Rowdy”
Roadfeldt took over contest duties from Cece Holt at the beginning of this year. Each
subject in the contest is introduced with a questionnaire, similar to the one we’ll use in
future editions of this feature. So thank you, Cece and Erik, for laying the groundwork,
and letting me shamelessly steal it and pass it off as my own! Here is the first lucky
subject from this year, and the winning drawing of them. If you’re not already playing
along, head on over to the Facebook group and take a swing at our current subject.
Winning could land you a free membership at this year’s con!

=====Getting to know Daryl Stephenson=====
'''ISCA:''' How and when did you
get introduced to the wonderful
world of caricature?
Daryl Stephenson: When I was in
high school, there was a teacher that
taught model boat building and wood
carving. He could draw anything and
sometimes at school fairs he would
draw caricatures. “I hate drawing
babies!” he’d always say with a smile. I
was in awe of his ability to draw people
live. It’s been in my head ever since.

'''ISCA''': What type of caricature work do
you currently do?
'''DS''': 50% hourly gigs 50% commissions
from my studio. A lot of the studio
work is freelance cartooning and not
always caricature.

'''ISCA''': What does being a caricature
artist mean to you?

'''DS''': I worked on the railways and
down at the docks in management for
almost 30 years. 3 years ago I severed
the ties from my old life (with my
wife’s permission) and jumped into
this full time. Being a caricature artist
means freedom to me. The freedom to
entertain or create or get lost in a project.

'''ISCA''': Do you have any funny stories
relating to caricature?

'''DS''': My first-ever gig was well over 12
years ago. I advertised in a newsletter
that was distributed to local coffee
shops and cafes and, lo and behold, I
was hired to draw at a corporate Xmas
party. I was so nervous and stressed out
the whole night that I was nauseous at
the end of the event. Everyone seemed
to enjoy the drawings, but when I got
home, I said to my wife, “I am never
@#%&*@ doing that again!” I did not
do another event for 3 years, when my
youngest son asked me to draw at his
high school grad celebration, so I did
and it was awesome. I was hooked.

'''ISCA:''' Do you have any advice for other
caricature artists?
DS: Take in everything you can from
other artists ... see what they do, try it
yourself, eventually developing your
own style ... oh and practice, practice
and more practice.

'''ISCA''': What is your favorite medium?

'''DS''': 99% of my commissions and 50%
of my gigs are digital. I really enjoy
digital drawing on my Cintiqs. If I
had to choose a traditional medium,
I’d choose drawing with ink. I love
creating realistic drawings in ink
(When I have the time). Second up
would be painting with oils; lots
to learn there.

'''ISCA''': What is your favorite color?

'''DS''': Green ... no ... Blue ... no Green

'''ISCA''': What do you like most about yourself?

'''DS''': That I enjoy being by myself a lot of times.

'''ISCA''': What are your interests?

'''DS''': I have always dreamed of being an animator. Not working for a studio but just creating what comes into my head. I have been pushing myself to learn as much as I can so I can make this dream come true.

'''ISCA''': Where is you favorite place in the world, or where do you want to visit?

'''DS''': I loved New York and San Francisco, but my favorite place is where I live. Maple Ridge, British Columbia. A small community just east of Vancouver.

'''ISCA''': What is your favorite movie or music?

'''DS''': Anything directed by Francis Ford Coppola or Stanley Kubrick. Music…’70s rock

'''ISCA''': Who would play you in a movie?

'''DS''': Walter Matthau. I always thought that my dad looked like Walter Matthau, and now I catch myself in the mirror sometimes and think that I look just like my dad.

'''ISCA''': If you were stranded on a desert island, what three books would you bring?

'''DS''': “The Stand”, “Rendering in Pen and Ink” and “The Essential Calvin and Hobbes”

'''ISCA''': If you could make three wishes come true, what would they be?

'''DS''': 1- That my boys continue to do what makes them happy. 2- To not lose the ability to create. 3- To be satisfied with what I have.

'''ISCA''': What is your superpower (best quality), or what superpower do you wish you had?

'''DS''': I have a bad superpower ... It comes from 30 years of trying to tell longshoremen and teamsters what to do. I have the power of intimidation. This power doesn’t work well with being a happy-go-lucky caricature artist, except at the end of gigs where some people’s sense of entitlement comes out.

'''ISCA''': Is there anything else you’d like us to know about you?

'''DS''': I am extremely proud of my family. We are a rather tall family. My wife is the shortest at 6 feet 2 inches, and my youngest son is the tallest at 6 feet 11 inches. We only feel tall when other people come to visit.
