Industry Caricatures

Here are some of the people we've had the pleasure of working with and meeting along the way, many of whom have contributed to the industry with passion, creativity and dedication.

𝙱𝙰𝙲𝙺 𝙸𝙽 𝙱𝙻𝙰𝙲𝙺 - Mark Risby

As it is IBC season again, and everyone is shuffling off to Amsterdam to look at new tech and a few beers with friends at the beach bar, I thought I'd do a caricature of Marc Risby, as I saw he was hosting the IBC Podcast this year.

Anyone who's ever needed a desk for their post production room, will have undoubtedly encountered the charismatic Guy Wilson of AKA Design.

Full of charm, Guy strides on site armed with a portfolio of drawings, endless enthusiasm, cheeky humour and a smile capable of making you feel like you’ve just found your new best friend. It's impossible not to like him !!

I’ve been sketching this caricature of Olly Strous ever since he completed the London - Paris bike ride back in July. But I held off sharing it until he completed the second leg of his charity challenge, Race The Sun, this past weekend in the Lake District- involving even more biking, hiking, and kayaking [or any other activity with a 'K' in it !] what madness Olly!!

Whenever I walk into a post-production event, I don’t need to look for name badges or scan the room. I just close my eyes, and listen. Above the hubbub of the roomI can hear it - that unmistakable, joyfully booming laugh. That’s  Kaye Davis!! And just like that, I know exactly where she is. Honestly, if you can’t find Kate in a crowd, you might want to get your ears checked

Have you ever seen John Johnson [ JJ ] wearing long trousers? No? well that's because he π™°π™»πš†π™°πšˆπš‚ wears shorts. Here I've drawn him skateboarding from the Scrub Office to the HHB headquarters on Scrubs Lane in his usual attire.

With π™Όπ™Ώπšƒπš‚, the Media Production & Technology Show, just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to draw Gavin Drake as he prepares to ship out to this prestigious show. Gavin is a true no nonsense Yorkshireman who has been with Canford Audio ffor more than 25 years.

Ben Nemes has always been the mastermind behind some truly brilliant ideas. Nearly 20 years ago, he came up with SCRUB - the London-based office for HHB Communication - created to supply and support pro audio equipment for post-production clients right on their doorstep.

Argosy Components celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, and I thought it would be fun to mark the occasion with a cartoon featuring the Argosy Team – or "πšƒπš‘πšŽ 𝙰 πšƒπšŽπšŠπš–" – as they gear up for another year of exhibitions. Here's the main man Chris Smeeton, with his trusty sidekicks Josh & John

I thought it would be fun to do a caricature of Darren Digby...Digger to his friends

The amazing thing about Digger is that no matter how long I spend on designing cable schedules he will π™°π™»πš†π™°πšˆπš‚ find a mistake. β€œMike I think you have duplicated some numbers here”, or β€œshouldn’t the reference cables have black strain relief boots” aaarrrggghhhh!!
