My caricature window for the dentist office @ 2120 Nicollet Ave. (Artists in Storefronts project) goes up Thursday. Came up with this for my mission statement:
I have been drawing caricatures for decades now, something I first started doing at the Minnesota Zoo during the summer break at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Since graduating, I have traveled all over the U.S. and even France and Spain drawing caricatures of people. It is my number one source of income and I am happy to be a working "Artist of the People", over any other type of artist. In order to be a strong artist, slack is essential for unconscious and subconscious processes to spring to the surface, and the time off afforded by drawing at State Fairs and other events has helped me evolve my approach to Art, Work and Life into one continuous way of being. If you want to be caricatured by me, you can contact me at my online caricatures site, www.tomsiler.com/cartoonland. And yes, I can do other types of art, but they certainly don't pay as much!
