It still amazes me every time I see your work...Joe<br /><br />It still amazes me every time I see your work. I have added you to my myspace, bought both your rejects book and your sketch infectious book. Anytime I am feeling like I'm having a crappy drawing day, or that my marker is just not cooperating with what I see in my mind, I pull out your rejects books. Since I started as a caricature artist (just last year in April 08) I can't believe how far I've come, and yet at the same time I wish I could hurry-up-and-get-better and as great as you are! <br /><br />But now, I'm even more amazed that you criticize yourself and your artwork as much as I do my own. We are our own worse critics. And it's funny isn't it...that you have artists that inspire and amaze you, and yet there are so many that feel the same way about you! <br /><br />Since doing Caricatures, I have become more humbled as a person, a woman, and of course as an artist. I almost get embarrassed when people say I'm amazing, or so talented, etc. Why is that? Do you ever feel that? <br /><br />Anyhoo, I just wanted to say Thank you for all that YOU have helped me with in my growth as a caricature artist. And I would looove to see a book in the future by you on How To Draw Exaggerated Caricatures a la' Joe Bluhm Style. I would love to see a more in depth view of your approach to people. I have trouble sometimes knowing what to exaggerate, and what to minimize. And sometimes my brain overrides my hand with the marker, and then I end up not being happy with the pic, because I thought too much. lol. I would be very interested to see your step by step approach to eyes, lips, hair, teeth and more. <br /><br />So yeah...thank you for being such a huge inspiration! If you ever come to las Vegas, NV, come up to the top of the Stratosphere. Maybe you could teach me a thing or two! Good luck! Peace Love and Paintbrushes! <br /><br />Amanda Nikki<br />www.myspace.com/amandanikkigalleryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
