Me, by Joe Bluhm

The requisite Joe Bluhm caricature from TCAF. Everyone got one done, but I think there was a consensus that he took his sweet time with mine. I purposely tried to stall him while he was drawing me – hoping he would do an ultra-detailed caricature. I think it worked. He told me stories about his book, Rejects; times he drew little girls and made their mothers cry, people who refused to pay him and others who outright attacked him.

Few people could decide if what his caricatures were vicious and cruel or honest and noble. I love mine. It’s like a pressure massage for the ego.
