Caricaturist or cartoonist?
Hi Guys and Galls.
This is probably the most random question ever asked on the HUBB, but are there any cartoonists on the HUBB?
Maybe all will become clear (if you can be bothered to read my ramblings). So the short short version of the background: My wife and I have decided to go on a two up RTW, and we have (like so many others) decided to make a website to document and promote our ride (among other reasons). Although I am a complete webmaster virgin I have decided to make the web-page myself (believe it or not!!). All is going quite well, until we (okay I) ran into a snag. We ran aground when we decided on a personal logo.
I am an okay true-to-life artist so I sat down with my sketchbook and had a crack. The result was that I never knew how much skill takes to draw a caricature or cartoon. It gets even worse when you try and incorporate a machine and some creative editing of the “people”. (The distorting things enough to make them exaggerated but not so much that it no-longer looks like the original is really a skill!!! One I don’t seem to have.:confused1: Hats off to those that can!) Bottom line is that you have to be so much better an artist then I am!
So that brings us back to the question are there any cartoonists on the HUBB? If there is, are any of you willing to help? I can provide you with (bad) attempts, photos and details of what we want. What I cannot offer you is money but you will receive credit and our thanks on the website (how is open to discussion). As well as our unending gratitude and a gratuitous posting on the HUBB about how good you are! I am not looking for an entire logo, just a colour caricaturist or cartoon of us on the bike (with a bit of a twist), I will then manipulate it into the rest of the logo via GIMP.
I know this is a bit odd so don’t be afraid to tell me to B##### off!
Cheers all
Xander (with hat in hand!)
