Last week my movie Valley of the Kings played at an archaeological film festival in Italy...however I went to Reno Nevada instead. I only gambled a dollar on the slot machines. The reason for going to this place was to attend the National Caricaturist Network convention.
You've seen people at parties and theme parks draw caricatures of people. For many artists this is a full time or part time career. Over 200 caricaturists from the US, europe, England, and Japan came to this convention. For 4 days a large ballrooom was kept open 24 hours a day so that we could draw each other's exaggerated portraits. At the final banquet we gave people the drawings that we did of them. Over 20 people drew me...several portrayed me as a mad scientist. It was an enlightening experience to delve into a misunderstood artform.
