LoL Caricature Company

I've been posting some live caricature work on this blog periodically, but now I will be posting to my Company's Facebook page instead: www.facebook.com/lolcaricature.
I own and operate a retail caricature location on 16th St. Mall in Denver. *LoL* Caricature Company opened June of 2011 and employs only the most talented caricature artists around, bringing the funny to the street. We are open May-October; hours and info are on the website, www.lolcaricature.com.

Snow Goddess

Fun on a snow day.

Prairie Engine maquette

My sculpting partner Fred Lunger and I were 1 of 3 finalists out of over 200 with a sculpture proposal we submitted for the new Adams County Government Center These are photos of the maquette, one of which is superimposed onto the site to show scale and relationship. It was proposed to be 24' in height, made of steel, wood, concrete and bronze. The walkway beneath was designed as an abstracted map of the county, and the windmill blades depict a train in bronze bas-relief, chugging along them with a bit of wind.

Colorado Rockies Magazine

Here are some illustration assignments I've done for the official Colorado Rockies magazine. This first batch depicts famous Pennant races of the past. They are as follow: the Dean brothers, Bucky "f*%king" Dent, Matt Holliday's slide, Thompson (Shot heard around the world), and Harvey's Wallbangers (the sad one left out is Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer: the ace who lost the game).

These next ones went with an article about the unwritten rules of baseball.

And these, that show accompany an article explaining different types of plays: "In a Pickle" and the "Squeeze Bunt/Play".

And last, some spot illustrations to go with fan stories:

Solo show,"Flight of Fancy"

I had an opportunity to take over the fairly large gallery space at The Other Side Arts in Aurora CO. I decided it would be a good reason to follow my flight of fancy and create whatever struck me. I had 35 pieces; so in no particular order, some highlights from the Show!
