Ginger Meggs cartoonist, stand-up comedian and caricaturist Jason Chatfield relates how he ended up creating a caricature of Larry David.
I can?t quite explain why, but being insulted by Larry is a great honour.
The job came through a fellow New York illustrator and great friend, Ed Steckley. He passed the job on through an agency, knowing full well my eyes would pop out of my head when I read the brief. It was a very generous prank. Essentially, the brief was as follows:
?Larry David?s Broadway show is a hit. Katie Couric wants you to draw a caricature of Larry David for the wall at Sardi?s so she can present it to him at the restaurant, live on her show.
We need it hand-delivered in 2 days.?
There isn?t enough Valium in the world to take that in without forgetting how to breathe.
Well deserved Jase. And he gave it such a good review! Jerry Seinfeld next I imagine…Keep up the great work! 🙂
