The Aquaria 2......

This caricature is of our grandson... One thing about this new aquarium, in the middle of the city is that it is not only well situated but to me it is more then a aquarium itself... It is a place of exposure to the underwater world especially for city folks like us. With the facilities for interacting like I had describe before, thus it makes it more interesting and educational as well...So how do this caricature of our grandson got to do with this visit to the aquarium??....Well!!.. With all the talks about caricature that seem to be a sorts of a world phenomena this last few weeks, by luck or coincident as we wonder in this underwater world, we saw at one corner of the walkway a group of cartoonist at a table drawing caricature... With curious crowd around. Together with our grandson We watch the cartoonist doing their work diligently and with pleasure...And confidently producing one caricature after another, each a masterpiece of its own..Our grandson soon got interested and wanted to have a caricature of himself drawn...So I decided to get one done for him...There were three cartoonist at work and there are many kids with their parents waiting to get their caricatures done...So we waited with patience for the cartoonist to do his job creating a caricature of our grandson....The cartoonist ask our grandson what concept he wanted..He replied that he want it to be soccer related or football as it is know in this part of the world...He then sat on the stool patiently, while the artist interact with him and at the same time drew the caricature.... The Cartoonist indeed did a great job, thus the caricature above.....Have a nice day...

I've done my caricature a few times before. It's fun to see your image being portrayed into something you are not, but with my consent of course.
