That prominent (C) thingy in the image has me worried. Although the artist's web site has no copyrights (that I saw) Jordan Langelier

The whole purpose of the (C) is to prevent people from reproducing it in an unauthorized manner, ie: printing it out. According to the artist, this use is okay. -- J.J.

To Jordan: it doesn't matter if the artist has copyright notices or not. If he drew it, he owns the copyright. Copyright notices are to prevent accidental infringement. To J.J.: okay, if you got permission this is fine. I'll remove it from votes for deletion. Next time, indicate that permission was granted on the image description page. -- Tim Starling 06:32 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)
The permission really is irrelevent. The copyright sign is horrible. I have removed the picture from the article. There are lots of free caricatures available. Put one in. Justinc 18:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anime Caricature

Where can I find someone to do an Anime caricature of me? --Shultz 15:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Contact me on my User Page. You can see about 20 or so pieces of my artwork, about half of which are caricatures. Though none are rendered in an anime style, I can easily produce one in that style if you want. Nightscream 02:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caricature and cartoon

So what is the difference between caricature and cartoon? Is caricature by definition included as cartoon or the same as cartoon or else? Can probably somebody explain about the relation between cartoon and caricature in this article? Thank you. sentausa 11:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Done. Nightscream 02:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

A caricature is sometimes just considered a bad portrait by the unsophisticated. Many people do not understand what a caricature is. If you view a celebrity caricature, such as a Elvis Caricature, many artists will have different approaches to portraying Elvis. All the caricatures will have a similarity of the Elvis likeness.

[edit] Christopher Ronnel?

Should there be a section about Chris Ronnel? Just thinking . . .

[edit] Uhh..

This article has way too many images. --Joffeloff 20:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Danish/Norwegian - Middle east Caricature crisis

Shouldnt it be mentioned?

[edit] Further names of note?

Mention might be made of the French trio Jean-Claude Morchoisne, Jean Mulatier and Patrice Ricord. The three worked out the same studio in Paris throughout the Seventies and early Eighties and their highly-rendered drawings came to dominate French newspapers and magazine covers, in the same way Gerald Scarfe held sway over the British scene around the same time. Subsequently the three have gone on to develope their own series of highly-popular caricature albums, with Morchoisne in particular developing a style that often transforms familiar figures into animals or inanimate objects.

Gerald Scarfe, aside from his legendary covers for Private Eye and work in film and theatre (Pink Floyd's The Wall; Disney's Hercules) was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2004. Heroes & Villains featured caricatures of some of the most and least admired figures from British history.

The Scottish Cartoon Art Studio received similarly high-profile treatment in 2006 when their caricatures where exhibited for three months in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh. The show was entitled Fizzers: the Alternative Portrait Gallery and marked the first time the caricature art form had been showcased in such a way in the country.

[edit] For example what?

From the section Computerized caricature and formal definition of caricature:

There have been efforts to produce caricatures automatically or semi-automatically using computer graphics techniques. For example[2] provides warping tools specifically designed toward rapidly producing caricatures.

The "[2]" part points to a footnote. The footnote is a reference, but it does not name the program that the sentence is talking about, so it is still nonsensical. Does anybody know? - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Levine-david.1.gif

Image:Levine-david.1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] External links

This article has far too many. I think we should select a handful of the most useful and scrap the rest. What do you say? --Managerpants (talk) 11:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm going to remove most of the links. Feel free to put back any that you feel were unfairly deleted. --Managerpants (talk) 19:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Follow-up: I have removed all but 3 of the external links, because the vast majority were just sites that you could order caricatures from. In my opinion, that is not 1) useful or 2) encyclopedic. --Managerpants (talk) 12:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
