In the caricature biz, it’s pretty rare to see female artists and rarer yet to see black female artists. If women are the unicorns of our industry, black women must be… what’s rarer than a unicorn? A double unicorn?
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 a
caricature artist?
ARIE: I have been a caricature artist since 1997-8, so about 20 years.
KRYSTAL: Since summer 2005, so
15 years.
Where are you based and who do
you work for?
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.
KRYSTAL: Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I don’t work for anyone per se, but
I am listed as an independent contractor on About Faces Entertainment
and Goofy Faces.
