Recently I returned home from drawing caricatures at a 18 day fair in Miami Florida.
Usually I work alone so I enjoyed the opportunity to work with this talented group of artist.
However eleven artist living and working together for 18 days could be a reality TV show, there is never a dull moment!
The Miami fair is an excellent combination of hard work and play. On week days the fair opens late so we would go to South Beach in the late morning, swim in the ocean till noon then go out to eat. Usually we drew caricatures till about 1am then stay up to unwind and talk shop. needless to say when i got home I slept 14 hours straight.
I believe peers play a very important roll in a artist life, these are the people you can talk shop with the people you share the same passion with. With who else can you have an exciting hour long conversation about head shapes and facial structure. Peers seem to have a way of reappearing in your life some of these artist i first worked with in 1996.
