George Ford Caricature

George Ford Caricature from Bearman Cartoons

Source:

George Ford of Addanac City

So after I posted the caricature I did for my 1000th Twitter follower, my good friend George of Addanac City was bitching, moaning, pleading, begging, wondering when I might finally get around to doing a caricature of him.  So I was playing around on my ipad and did a little sketch that I sent to him.  I told him to be patient and I would finish it soon enough.

Is George patient.  NO!  Go see how he tortured my work trying to color it himself.   Didn’t color in the mustache, half an eyebrow not filled it.  But of course he went overtime on the background. 

Anyway, I finally finished it (I kept his theme for the background).  And now that it is finished, I realized that he and his character Hank have the same eyes.

    Awesome! I had never noticed the eyes before but you are right. Just goes to show if you whine and carp and bellyache er…wonder enough you will finally get your way.

      You know I have to gaze into the mirror every time I have to draw Hank’s peepers. 😀

      1. Bearman Avatar

        First you have to open your eyes.

        1. George Avatar

          But it’s so much more beautiful here inside my head.

      Really? That opens up many possibilities.

    Great job! I’d recognize that mug anywhere! 🙂

    1. George Avatar

      My mug is pretty darned hard to miss or get confuse. I’m that guy you’ll always recognize before you run in the other direction. 😀

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Or the guy you pick out of a line up.

        1. George Avatar

          Just pick Ron Jeremy first, cuz I didn’t do it!

          1. Colleen Avatar

            Of course you’re innocent George. But I think you secretly spawned Hank so you could pin everything on him.

    Woohoo, blahahahaaha love the Hank tee Bearman…very clever.

    1. George Avatar

      I love that tee also. I’m gonna have to make Bearman my official stylist.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I figured someone had to create an AC tshirt.

        1. Friggin Loon Avatar

          Yep, I would wear one.

            Loon you would wear one…but you are too cheap to BUY one.

          3. Friggin Loon Avatar

            Blahahaha Bearman, it’s for promotional purposes they should be free 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank ya thank ya thank ya.

    HA!
    This is one of my favorites, Bearman…
    so cool! 🙂

    1. George Avatar

      I couldn’t agree more, although that spotlight can get awfully hot at times. 😀

      1. Bearman Avatar

        If you could convince the other regulars to post their pic all over the web, I might make more fun of them. Come to think of it…Tony might be next.

        1. Friggin Loon Avatar

          Yeah Bearman, where’s your mugshot?

        2. George Avatar

          Tony would be fun. I may bring you both to Addanac City soon. 😀

        3. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

          DUDE!
          Do it, Bearman! Do it! 🙂

  5. George Avatar

    Yeah! Now I know all the wonders you can receive by b!tc#ing and moaning about something! I’m a star, Ma!!! 😀

    I really like this one. My wife says she wants to wear this on a shirt. Got any plans to mass-produce for the Wack Sack Co.? 😀

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oh you think it will be a big seller. I’ll email you a larger image (she want it with your without the background)?

      1. George Avatar

        She wants it all. I didn’t wanna just snatch it up off’a your page without any residual rights or permission. Whaddaya think this is, the internet?

      2. At Wick's End Avatar

        Yes, I’d LOVE to have it on a shirt. I’d wear it with pride! 😀

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Your husband is a cartoonist and yet you have an avatar that is clip art. Where is the love?

          1. George Avatar

            Hey, she’s never said she likes my artwork. She’s just married to me.

  6. bluntdelivery Avatar

    it is a perfect likeness. i see the kindness, eer brooding in his eyes.

    hahahah, half eyebrow filled in… kinda of reminds me of my grandma

    1. George Avatar

      Aw, Blunt, my kind brood thanks you immensely. 😀

    2. Bearman Avatar

      They both do a poor job of filling in all the way with a pencil.

  7. Nate Fakes Avatar

    Good work, Bearman! Wheres mine!? Wheres mine?!

    1. George Avatar

      Rough ‘im up some, Nate! That’s how you get him on that drawing board. 😀

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I could stop doing real cartoons and just start caricaturing all my readers….then create a book with all of you in it so you HAVE to buy it…haha

        1. Nate Fakes Avatar

          Deal. I have to buy a few more books first, but then, deal.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Oh…you are saying I am in line behind others? bleah.

    Good likeness bearman. And I see you’ve given him back his second ear

    1. George Avatar

      Huh? What? I can’t hear you.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        I am surprised he can hear at all given that typically his head is up his ass.

        1. George Avatar

          I thought I walked around like my ass was on my shoulders?

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Well you are shit for brains

    1. George Avatar

      Perhaps, that’s because of that weird-looking bong antique that is apparently by my head in the real-life photograph. I told Grandma to stash her paraphernalia better than that. 😀

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Your eyes do look a little bloodshot.

        I blame my grandma for my issues also 😉

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Funny she blames you for hers.

        I was looking for the “Like” button. “weird looking bong antique” ~ hilarious!

        1. George Avatar

          You can borrow it after I got ‘er all cleaned out. There’s gotta be one more hit left in this thing. Oh, that’s just dust. Wait, there’s a tad bit of green. Oh, that’s mold.

          #$%@

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Just hope it isn’t grandma’s ashes

      4. Colleen Avatar

        No man, blame Hank. he’s a much more credible scapegoat. The yellow haired hooligan made me do it!

        1. George Avatar

          I think I’ve been possessed by that little rascal. He’s the one who influences me. 😀

  9. George Avatar

    That’s cause I’m laid back Al Bundy-style on the couch. Your blog taught me lots of things about relaxing properly.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      When did I teach you that?

      1. Lynn Avatar
        Lynn

        maybe George falls asleep when he visits. 🙂 What??!!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          after he eats all my fritos

          1. George Avatar

            You could at least get the name brand Fritos!

        2. George Avatar

          I’m falling asleep at work right now. I hate driving cabs for stripper money. 🙁

  10. Denny DelVecchio Avatar

    I asked for mine to be done and was told I was already a caricature.

    Was that hot?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And that you are. That you are.

  11. Binky Avatar

    Pretty good! Now we can use it as a mug shot if George ever does anything untoward.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      If. Who says he hasn’t already

      1. George Avatar

        Those allegations are merely unfounded rumors.

    B!tching, moaning, pleading and begging.. okay, I got it now. This was a fun post and the link to George’s post made it even more enjoyable! ..And a good time was had by all!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Trust me ….you do your share already..haha

    2. George Avatar

      I’ve definitely had fun putting my feet up on Bearman’s coffee table. 🙂

  13. Rent Textbooks Avatar

    I liked the one he did, funny how he didn’t finish coloring it all in.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You would think he would know better.

      1. George Avatar

        He’s lazy that way, I’ve heard. Rumor is, his wife and kids draw his measly comic strip.

  14. writerdood Avatar

    Not bad. I would have used less hair on the sides of his head, but other than that he’s quite recognizable. Your caricature talents are getting impressive.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Depends on my subject whether it is a hit or miss. In other pics he has a fro so I was trying to average. haha

      1. George Avatar

        You did good! I’m pleased and proud. 🙂

  15. Arts Web Show Avatar

    That is one cool caricature

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank you sir.

      1. George Avatar

        See, Bearman? When you become a viral superstar, you’d better remember who to thank for it!

  16. Jande Avatar

    Well I must say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this one. For once a character I recognise! And a fabulous job you made of it, Bearman. To top it all off the responses have been hilarious! (sorry I haven’t been around much. I’m sick right now.)

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I hope I didn’t just catch a computer virus from your bringing your sickness over here. Hope you feel better.

    2. George Avatar

      People have been commenting?

      🙂

      I hope you’re feeling a thousand percent better now, Jande!

    It’s kind of hypnotizing… the green checkerboard background… the eyes… I’m feeling very sleepy.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Now you know how George Feels

  18. Nate Fakes Avatar

    I still have to buy George’s book! That’s how far behind I am.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Which would you rather have. A book with George’s characters in it or a book with your caricature in it?

      1. George Avatar

        Hey, Nate! I can draw your caricature in the book of my book! Yeah, extra selling power! 😀

  19. Corve Avatar

    Good job bro…like it

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank you….

  20. Tony McGurk Avatar

    Gosh, lottsa comments on this one. I near wore out my mouse wheel getting to the bottom. You sure did a great job of George’s caricature Sir.
    I really wish someone would do a great caricature like that of me…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well as I said, you are one of the few who actually post your pic all over the net so you never know.

    2. George Avatar

      Tony, how would you like to take a visit to Addanac City one fine day? 😀

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        Yep George that would be great. I wonder if I could get a guest spot with Mrs A in her bikini.

  21. The Good Greatsby Avatar

    Do I have to be your 2,000 Twitter follower to get a caricature of me?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No…just come here often and tell me how wonderful I am and you quickly move up the list.

    2. George Avatar

      If you were my 2,000th Twitter follwer, I’d draw you TWO caricatures!

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Again…we haven’t seen you draw 1 of anyone yet so prove it.
