This past May (2024), I had the privilege of attending the FACES! International Caricature Experience in Pordenone, Italy, hosted at the PAFF! International Museum of Comic Art. It was three fun filled days of speakers and drawing in preparation for an exhibit currently on display at the museum, Very Italian: Beyond Stereotypes. Participants were tasked to draw caricatures of famous Italians to fit this them. Below are the five drawings I completed during my time there, each inspired by different elements (architectural, food or otherwise) that I spotted during my travels.
