Many caricaturists often draw those rich & famous people as their pictures are easily available. I drew them for fun or to poke fun at them when they are in the news.
Many close friends had warned me to
restrain myself (手下留情) from publishing those drawings of rich and
very powerful people. They are concerned I might be ‘invited for coffee’ in a
dark room. I told them: drawing is like an addiction. I just couldn’t stop my
imaginations & urge to put them onto paper. Like what American caricaturist
Al Hirschfeld once said: “Artists are like children who refuse to put down their crayons.” I think he’s probably right.
Now I try to omit/censor some sensitive
details in my drawings of powerful people but many told me they could still
identify the subjects in my drawings!
Oops……..
