the caricature artist
fiction
Edward w Pritchard
A caricature artist who doesn't follow the unwritten code of the profession can hurt a client deeply.
What lies beneath should be hidden and private. But, in a moment of spontaneity, a day at the beach or a walk in a park, a patron pays a few lira to have his picture sketched in wiggly lines for his best girl. An unflattering silhouette suggesting future rotundity, a beaking red nose hinting at future lechery or an sagging behind offends and startles both involved.
Why won't these young caricature artists follow the ancient criteria of daily practice? Must they shout every one's secret flaws?
Use your pen to entertain not to startle our unsuspecting public and our generous patrons. Let a walk along the boardwalk be pleasant and memorable in a fun way for our customers. Caricature artist don't lay bare your customer's soul.
