Sometimes I'm called upon to create a template that serves
as a "core" drawing. Generally, a
pre-printed illustration on the sheet that acts as the illustrated theme of the
event. From that already established tableau, I then just add the head
of the individual I'm drawing.
It's a fun way for companies -- or even a bride and groom
for their wedding, youngster at their bar/bat mitzvah or family at long-awaited
reunions -- to engage their guests in a memorable, long-lasting way.
Welcome to the May edition
of Not Your Usual Caricature Artist from Caricatures by Joel.
Here are some samples. The drawing's already pre-printed.
Now all that's needed is the head to fit in the open space.
This was created for a national company hosting an event for
their staff at the Charlotte Motor Speedway:
This template was developed for a French-Canadian company
holding its employees gathering at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte:
This next scenario was created for the Charlotte Knights' double
dip -- first the all-day festival at Romare Bearden Park and then, later that
evening, at the home opener in the new BB&T Ball Park:
This more modest initiative is part of Sales Productivity
Coach Philippe Le Baron's campaign to enhance his brand by selectively putting
a client's head atop the body of a lion tamer (the aspired-for effect of his
program for sales managers), and then presenting that client with a uniquely
customized gift.
(And here's what Philippe had to say about it...)
As you can see, templates like these can be utilized both at
live events and working from photos for gift giving or later display.
What idea do you have
for a template?
I'm already templated in this space for the first Tuesday of each month -- see you next time for another installment of Not Your Usual Caricature Artist.
