The Long Awaited (But-Not-Really-Cause-No-One-Else-Knew-Of-It) Caricatures

So I've been meaning to put these up for a while but never got around to it. (This being another night in hermithood) presents itself as a fantastic opportunity to do so (sorta). Most of these I did over the Christmas holidays, at both my Oma's 80th birthday extravaganza, church, and relatives' churches. So basically lots of old Dutch people, which consists of an interesting and ever-familiar atmosphere.



I must admit I've always thought the guy on the top left a little villainous. I'm told he's actually quite nice, but the shadows around the eyes tend to strike me as a bit disconcerting. And I love his wife's smile; technically it's a frown but it's very deep-set and the corners are like arrows, and somehow it works.



Featured top left is my brother Andrew's girlfriend, Angela. She demanded a caricature and seemed very excited about it until she saw it. On our right is the ex-janitor who, despite having yet to realize that the hitler 'stache has been passe for the past 60 years, still manages to strike terror in the young hearts of children.
