Individual portrait & caricature done from photograph.

The subject was my ex-boss Mr Gilbert Osuga from a Japanese Interior Design & Architecture firm,KKS International(S) at which I worked for more than 3 years during the early 90s.He was a Japanese-American who passed away in 2004 & the company wanted a portrait to be hung on their conference room wall together with the founder who passed away in Japan earlier.Apart from the portrait,they wanted a caricature to be printed on their thank-you card for those who attended the memorial service.The caricature reminded everybody of the image of our late boss.They provided me with a whole stack of his photographs to choose from but I decided to draw from the same photo which was the sharpest of all.These art works were actually sponsored by me as I felt that this was the least I could contribute to make the service more memorable to all those who knew him.
