NOT FIREMAN SAM...HONEST!


Enlarged, cropped scan of image below

First of all, you'll have to forgive the quality of this painted cartoon - on account of it being enlarged from a two inch image in a photograph taken at an angle through glass, resulting in it being slightly distorted, stretched, and not too clear. It didn't help that I used shiny gold acrylic ink to paint the helmet, buttons and belt-buckle, as it reflected the flash, but the actual framed picture is really quite nice. It's a caricature of a friend's kid, and the proud parents were as pleased as punch with the result. In fact, I was too.

Framed and mounted original
