Finding Beauty In A Caricature Artist

By Joseph Thompson


There had been many misconceptions about the world of art. When someone is asked about what it means to belong there, they would give you an answer of two extremes. One would be of that quintessential type who is talented, yet in his dedication, is often unappreciated.

The other is the one who can practically sell anything, yet lacks an element of mystery in his works and therefore overrated. Either way, it is a beautiful world. For what would mankind be without the likes of caricature artist Sarasota.

You see, there is a fire inside everyone, burning for a passion that only the thing they love to do the most, something they are born for, will be able to light. You do not want to settle for something, no matter how bug the pay is, if it would end up with a regret or two, later in your life.

People only have so much time. Do not get stuck in a box, just because the pay is more than right. It is not about the pay. It is about the freedom you would get, out of doing what you love. Treating it as a job would be second nature. Getting paid for it, would be a bonus.

Try looking at funhouse posters and books for children, even leading magazines or newspapers. Get to the page where the illustrations are. Something you see there is a stretched and squished, a representation of something much more profound. It is meant to have been drawn to create humuor while provoking opinion. That is caricature.

And that is kind of how people like you, otherwise known as caricaturist, see the world. You will be sure to feel that rare connection with an illustration you will see. You are bound to feel it, as an artist yourself. That is when you would know, that it is really indeed time to chase your passion, if you have not been there yet.

While it can be fun and also fulfilling, it is not a career where you can expect to get high salary. This is why it is not for those who wish to get rich, but rather it is a dream chased only by the few who knows what it demands. Which is your heart and soul for it. Art, you see, is something you have to be in love with, so that you can bring yourself to pursue it.

When you thirst for it, know that you will not be rewarded with plenty of money, but you will survive. Know that you will have an even better reward in a sense of self fulfillment. That it would be something which can fill so many voids you thought existed. Sure, you may be misunderstood, often underrated. But that is not why you are doing it in the first place.

Only you can shape what you will turn out to be. And if being a full pledged caricature artist is one of them, then you can do that too. Know the tricks for those who makes their work known by showing them to the public. Be where people are, and sell your art, without having to explain yourself about it.
