SAMPLES of CARICATURES Just imagine what Richard could do for your guests! The caricatures shown here are in black and white. Pen and ink is his favoured technique for 'on the spot' caricatures so that they can be drawn quickly but colour sketches can be requested in advance. |

Clever Dick! - the etymology of "caricature" The word 'caricature', and hence 'caricaturist',is derived from the Italian 'caricare', meaning 'to load, burden, exaggerate or distort'. This in turn comes from the Latin 'carrus', which was a type of Gallic wagon! Most people believe (wrongly) that the word relates to 'character'. This explains why there are many mis-spellings of the word, and why Richard is often booked by people looking for a characaturist, a charicaturist, a caructurist, a characterist or even a characterist; he has had many enquiries from people looking for a caracature, a characture, a caricture, a caracture, a caricter... ok, that's enough keywords!
