Tools and devices that I use:

● For Digital Caricatures: I have many years of experience using digital programs to create my art iPad, and printer

● For Traditional Caricatures: I started with the traditional process of drawing, and continue using it. I have lights to illuminate my subjects and my art, an easel, a chair for myself, my pens, pencils, high quality 11x14 paper, and cardboard backings with cellophane bags to preserve the drawing so it doesn't damage.
