Caricatures for American Express' 2009 Calendar

A caricature project from Amex had kept me busy almost the whole of Oct 2008. They wanted it to be printed on their 2009 calendar for distribution worldwide. This was the biggest job I did for the year of 2008. They spent about 5k for this set of artwork, what a big budget. It's a great honour to be chosen by Amex to do this particular project b'cos there are so many great caricaturists around the world that they can choose from.
The theme they wanted was sports, different type of sport for each month on their calendar. All the caricatures were drawn in black & white shaded style & on A3 size papers. Their requirement was simple,as long as it went along the line of sports,it should be fine. This had given me lots of free hand to do it, no sweat. The only problem was the timing which I had to schedule it properly & had rejected many orders during that time, what a waste but this is the nature of the business. Customers always come at the same time or want to collect the artwork on the same day. As this is a hand drawn art, it's not possible to do too many at the same time.
Meaning,there is money pouring in but too bad it can't be made :))
