A Mental Health Day, For Mental Health Humor!
Today I went to a class to learn how to draw caricatures. It was at an arts and craft store, some 25 miles away. The class is weekly for $20.00 and taught by a young artist that worked at Disney drawing kids for them for the last few years. He is very good and the idea of the class is to be able to makes some money doing caricatures at local events and parties. The idea is a good one. It’s just spending the $80.00 a month that is hard… Up till this week, we could not even pay for our basic needs. So, I will have to see if I have what it takes to see this one through… If I can get the basics down it would be a great gag to do at the many mental health expos around the state…
In fact, there is a huge one this weekend that Patty Duke will be speaking at in Sarasota, Fl.
You know I was just thinking, this is my very first art class I’ve ever been in… other than 20 years ago in high school… Now I’m sure you would like to see my caricature right? Well here he is… it was too big to scan all at once so I have to cut and paste him… Do you know who he is? He lives with a neurological disorder, too.
Is it that bad that you can see who it is?
O.k…. Still Don’t know? Well here is the PEOPLE Magazine cover he gave me to draw.
It was fitting that I had to draw Michael J. Fox my first time out…

This was my first full color drawing…
Well Done! The eyes are fantastic. I really enjoy your cartoons, so anything that makes you get more enjoyment doing them is a good thing.
I for one can definately relate to hair trigger mood swings; it’ very common with me..it also gets me into a pile of trouble when it happens to me out in a public place! AAAAAUUGGHH! mousie
I like the way you did the hair… it’s like semi alfalfa style. I hope you succeed with your drawing/art lessons and i can see you are doing good with all the caricatures that you have. Amazing.
