Yesterday, drawing a Bar Mitzvah, I had a lady come up to me and ask to be drawn, she really wanted a caricature and its always nice to have an enthusiastic victim! Actually, my drawing mood, (yes I believe artists can work in a drawing mood), was complimentry and my caricatures were more portrait and cute I guess, but thats how I was drawing and people seemed to really like it.
So I draw this lady, she loves it and then tells me her husband must be drawn, "he's over there", she said and tells me he is an actor. Turns out he was in the early series of the ITV drama 'The Bill', his name is Ashley Gunstock. Well, I drew his caricature, he has a long face and he said he really liked it. Later on that evening he came over to tell me his wife and he are going to frame the caricatures and hang them in their home. Great! He also tells me he acted alongside the American actor Bill Murry! We chatted some more and Ashley told me he is currently on a project to put a play on. He also teaches drama in London.
It was a pleasent surprise and I enjoying meeting people like this.
