As I mentioned in my first post, one of the things I do is caricature. I draw for private and corporate events and have been doing so for quite a few years.
I am a member of the NCN, National Caricaturist Network, a group of artists and illustrators from around the world with a focus on the art of caricature, of course. Once a year they hold a convention where the members come to learn, share and be inspired. It is truly an amazing event. One of primary parts of the event is the competition, when art created over the course of the event is posted on the walls of a large ballroom and the artists vote for their favorites in a variety of categories.
Well, it has been my honor to be voted first place in the Best Black and White Technique category at he 2005 and 2006 conventions! I also won second place at the 2001 convention. It is an amazing experience to be among such a wonderful and talented group of individuals. I have grown leaps and bounds as an artist since being a part of this organization. Hopefully I can be as much of motivation to others as they have been to me!
