We are just happy that we got to do an American football theme. I got to draw like Jack Davis! He is a great inspiration when it come to drawing cartoon bodies. I grew up looking at Mad magazine and Jack was a key artist then and he drew a lot of American football players with his signature long feet in any position unimaginable.
The staff of this big Oakland Raiders fan decided on a caricature of him as a quarterback. Its a parting gift with a distinctive Singapore landmark, the Merlion as a reminder of the lion city.

Thanks Tel,
its using Copic markers, our usual way of working. I love this piece, did not realise that Jack Davis has a big impact on my development until I joined the NCN and was introduced to all the great caricaturists. Digital would have taken longer and cost more as its our premium service.
