David Brinkley is super awesome and nice for helping me out when I was just getting started and he answered a lot of questions I was too shy at the time to ask. I wish he had a website that I could direct you to but he's old school and you'll find his contact number in the link above.

Here is a compilation for my cat caricatures you can purchase from my Esty store:
