Article Transcript
Welcome to another issue of Exaggerated Features, the quarterly trade publication of the International Society of Caricature Artists. I hope everyone is hanging in there. 2020 continues to be a challenge for many in various ways. Just like our last issue dealt with the COVID-19 crisis, this one also reflects what is going on in the current environment, at least in America. In this issue, we are focusing on the Black Lives Matter movement. One thing I have wanted to do for a while is have a guest editor step in from time to time. It would be very reminiscent of what MTV did back in the 80s when they had guest VJs (Video Jockeys.) Those guest VJs would pick the video content for the two hour segment, just as our guest editor would pick and even provide some of the content for the current issue. Tom Faraci and I decided this would be a great issue to implement our first guest VJ—I mean— guest editor. Tom recommended fellow caricature artist Clarence D. Meriweather. It was great to work with Clarence on this, and I feel his perspective on the Black Lives Matter movement was more important than anything I could offer. You can find out all about him starting on page 2. Also, if you have not signed up for the virtual version of this year’s convention, be sure to check out the Mailbox Mayhem ad in this issue. As always, we welcome your content for future issues. Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have an idea that you think other caricature artists would like to hear. Thanks and stay safe!
