These are amazing.

LOL This first one... the photo, the caricature, the fact that he's still holding his lollipop... this should be a mural, or a billboard...or something. This should be the cover of Time/Life Books' 5 volume set, The Art of Caricature.

I think you should have all your subjects take photos and sign releases, and then put out a book of the photos of them standing next to their caricatures.

I've just found your blog from John K's, and your work is fuckin crazy!!! You're awesome!!!!!

william wray said...

These are great, your subjects must hate you. I'd love to see you have a caricature war with John K. I never could do the Tom Richmond thing, I wanted to be to mean to the louts of the world. I'd love to see you at Mad, but they might want you to tone it down.

I really don't know how you folks manage to earn some money from doing that. I mean, that first kid is amazing, but if I was him I'd probably cry. Have you ever read 'Caricature' by Dan Clowes? I remember the artist character said something like 'you have to pretend you're exaggerating their features, but if you actually do it the clients won't like it'. And then there was a fat lady who paid for the caricature and ripped it off on the spot, because it probably looked too much like her and she couldn't handle.

FANTASTIC work.

Big AL said...

These are awesome Marlo. You must have the biggest balls of any caricaturist I know. I hate the barmitzvah hair the boys always have these big poofy long curly manes. At one there was this kid they were making fun of him looking like a girl in the drawing. I took a bathroom break. He came out in tears the picture was in the trash. I think it might be easier for them to handle the exaggerations. Exaggerated party caricaturists in the bay area are few and far between. I love it when I get a chance to work next to someone who does it though.
blah, blah, blah, blah ... Great stuff!

Katie said...

Hi Marlo, I already told you this, but these are amazing!! I love them! I think it is the funniest thing to do caricatures of babies and other small people.

Ken Turner said...

great caricatures....keep em coming!!

Stephen Worth said...

John K is right. You're great!

CarolineJarvis said...

Lubomir said...

Ahahaha, you really gave it to these guys!

Kristen McCabe said...

I have a retarded question:

What are you coloring these with? pastel? marker?

Marlo said...

art stixx

Gabriel Hunt said...

That kid got fucked! I bet he's gonna be a virgin for a pretty long time. Everytime he brings a girl over his Big Mamma is gonna whip this out and blow her away. Leaving him crying and pissing his paints while she gets a few good laughs in. It all ends when he burns the house down with the bitch in it, and goes on a killing spree. With about 25 redheaded artists dead and a few Ronald McDonald statues decapitated.

Nicholas Gazin said...

I was always told that the trick to doing caricatures for people at things like this was to make it seem like you're insulting them but actually glossing over their flaws. Is that what you're doing here? How often do people stand up and despondently go,:"Heeeyyyyyy..."
