    I have done a few caricatures of Galaxy players over the last few years. I thought I'd put a few up in case anyone likes them. Just did this one today of our new signing- Gio Dos Santos.

    I have some others I'll load up soon... and I have done sketches of Lletget and Gerrard that I still need to paint. Hope you enjoy.

    That looks great! I wish I had the ability to do that. I love art, but really really really really suck at it. Really.

    I think you'd make A LOT of money if you did a caricature of Bruce drinking from that bottle of bubbly after last year's Cup win….

    rtdavide, I'm in awe with these. The highlights and shadows you put in is remarkable. Did Bob Ross inspire you?

    Thanks, rok. It just comes from observing the way light and surrounding colors bounce off the surfaces. but I'm usually working from an photo for these, so I'm really drawing the colors from the photo source.

    These are great. Digital? What app are you using?

    They are all digital, yes. I draw them initially on paper, scan them in and then color them in photoshop.

    I really like this one. Captures SG's demeanor with just the right amount of exaggeration. Overall I seem to like the non-grinning ones the most (Gio and Steve).

    These are amazing! You're very talented, and I agree with @TrickHog. I think you could sell them individually and as a set. You may not get rich, but I'll bet there are folks out there who would buy them (like me).

    These should be submitted to the Galaxy to use for match day posters! They blow a lot of past posters out of the water!!
