Fairly often when I get asked to draw cartoons, it turns out people are actually looking for charicatures. Then I have to explain again that those are two very different ‘disciplines’, and that drawing a good charicature is really difficult. I’m always in awe of artists who have that talent. So while I usually turn down those requests, every now and then I do give one a try, with mixed results.
Here are two I recently made, and again I need to apologise immediately for yet another pair of Flemish inside jokes… I promise that pretty soon I’ll try my hand on a global celebrity – suggestions are always welcome. But now, without further ado:
Recognisable enough? The guys at the newspaper didn’t think so. These were turned down as well. Oh well, keep on practicing…

the crazy fools!
The second one is the lost twin of a former teacher I had xD. To be exact copy, he’d need a telescopic pointer. Looking at Google, I’m afraid the newspapers guys had a point (the actual Torfs is quite different of my teacher, above all the nose xD).
Global celebrity suggested: obviously Frau Merkel, and her colourful jackets xD:
