Caricaturist
#T101 started work in 1979 as a draughtsman. His career has always involved
drawing and in 1999 he "took the plunge" and became a self-employed artist. It
was in that year he had his first cartoons published in a London newspaper.
The caricature part of his business initially involved just drawing people from
photos sent in the post but after being asked several times to do parties he
eventually decide to give it a go. After a period of intensive self-training he
became quick enough to draw his "cartoon portrait" style caricatures in 5
minutes and so started doing them "LIVE" in 2000. Possibly the best way to
describe how the partygoers greet his drawings is to say, that they don't want
him to leave at the end of the session - because everyone wants their own
caricature !
Designing
logos has always been a fascination of Ian's too and this is where his technical
drawing skills and artist ability come together. He loves the challenge of
creating a unique logo that represents the clients business. Adding to this his
knowledge of animation, he now creates what he calls "LIVGOS" - these are ideal
for web site logos that need to be more eye catching.
