Caravaggio Caricature
Caravaggio! This crazy Italian's art swiftly became a favourite study in my schoolboy art history lessons: all those marvellous eye-popping canvases lighting his subjects as though a spotlight had been flicked on in a pitch dark room. He also confirmed in my mind that painters weren't necessarily wilting petals who baulked at real work and drooped under a light rain shower. When not mixing paints he was mixing it with the locals and took things too far having to split Milan because of a murder charge. It would seem as much paper was given over to his rap sheet as was for his preparatory sketches—you wouldn't want to stiff him over a commission. As he didn't post many selfies I referenced his painted portraits, checked out actors who have played him on film but mainly took a whole bunch of liberties to come up with something I really hope he looked like.

Wilko Johnson Caricature
RIP singer, guitarist and actor, Wilko Johnson. An exploding fireball somehow seemed an appropriate backdrop for this caricature. Twice round my digital drawing board for Mr Johnson—but well worth it, he had a brilliant face.
