Finding Beauty In A Caricature Artist

By Joseph Thompson


There had been many misconceptions about the world of art. When someone is asked about what it means to belong there, they would give you an answer of two extremes. One would be of that quintessential type who is talented, yet in his dedication, is often unappreciated.

The other is the one who can practically sell anything, yet lacks an element of mystery in his works and therefore overrated. Either way, it is a beautiful world. For what would mankind be without the likes of caricature artist Sarasota.

Sometimes there are just a few who have enough courage to ditch the job they have been going into for years, just because it has a good paycheck. Instead of chasing their passion, they settle. That is not good, because you will always end up hungry. And this kind of thirst and hunger is not easily quenched by food or water.

There is much more to it than that, because it goes somewhere deeper, and it would make you restless. You would always end up feeling there is something missing. And that no matter how much you reward yourself with material things that your salary can allow you to buy, you still become unfulfilled at the end of the day.

These artists then have special skills that all it takes for them is take a quick look at a prominent person, a situation or a place. After which they would be able to create something exaggerated in highlighting their distinct traits. The goal and trick is to make the subject hilarious without being insulting and offensive.

And that is kind of how people like you, otherwise known as caricaturist, see the world. You will be sure to feel that rare connection with an illustration you will see. You are bound to feel it, as an artist yourself. That is when you would know, that it is really indeed time to chase your passion, if you have not been there yet.

While it can be fun and also fulfilling, it is not a career where you can expect to get high salary. This is why it is not for those who wish to get rich, but rather it is a dream chased only by the few who knows what it demands. Which is your heart and soul for it. Art, you see, is something you have to be in love with, so that you can bring yourself to pursue it.

When you thirst for it, know that you will not be rewarded with plenty of money, but you will survive. Know that you will have an even better reward in a sense of self fulfillment. That it would be something which can fill so many voids you thought existed. Sure, you may be misunderstood, often underrated. But that is not why you are doing it in the first place.

Be serious about what you want and what you want it. You may not know that you are ready to become the person you have longed to be for so long. Every waking day would never again be an excuse for you to just be present at work because you are being paid for it. This time, it will be something much more meaningful.
