Caricatures

I became interested in caricature art during the presidential race between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon in 1960. I was inspired by caricatures I saw in one of the major magazines (it might have been the Saturday Evening Post?), and I did my best at 11 years old to copy these. Once I started, I couldn't stop, and I went on to caricature everyone from celebrities of the day to my dentist, who paid me $1 for it!

During my time as a day student in a small prep school in CT, I became the cartoonist for the school newspaper, which gave me several years to hone my skills as a caricaturist at the expense of my teachers and fellow students.

I have always included caricatures in my children's books and album/CD covers, but I have only recently been published as a caricaturist per se. Several of my caricatures appeared in the Boston Globe during the Trump/ Clinton presidential campaign.
