I’ve been working on some projects, and have fallen behind in my blog posts, so I shall dip once more into the archives… (insert dramatic piano chord here).
I’ve always loved caricatures, and I’ve done a lot of them– some for assignments, others simply to promote my work. Here’s an assortment, I hope you’ll recognize some of them. Answers at end of post.
Note: There are puns and jokes in some of the caricatures. I’ll list these at the end as well.
End of caricatures, scroll down for answers.

1. Blues guitarist B.B. King, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (“Life Is Worth Living”)

Puns & Jokes:
1. B.B. King is playing two bees and a crown, “spelling” out his name.
2. There’s a little angel on Bishop Sheen’s chalkboard. He would write on it during his television show, sometimes completely filling it up. He would then walk away from it, and continue speaking. When he returned to it, the board would be clean– and he’d thank his “little angel” for helping him out.
3. Everybody knows owls say “Who?” This particular owl is saying “Hu.” A single red star is a symbol for communism.
4. Picasso is receiving a swift kick while holding his anti-war painting, Guernica.
