Throughout my career as a professional artist and even before, I really enjoyed making caricatures. Sometimes I make them and send them to friends in the form of a card or just as a way to make them smile. There were quite a few occasions while working as a medical illustrator in the different medical institutions I’ve worked, I was asked to make caricatures of various staff in various departments who were to be honored for an accomplishment, retirement or as part of a job. I always enjoyed it.

This is a logo I was commissioned to create for the Galveston Texas Art Walk on the Strand. The walk is pretty much the same as any art gallery hop held on one Saturday of each month. The event was always fun, new people, new art and wine and cheese.
