Description
View this at full size or you won't see anything.posted a pic of Curtis falls [link] and mentioned that she couldn't get a better picture because of the fence. This immediatly conjured up images of a photographer (one with a predilection for hats and gum boots) leaping gracefully over the fence to find a better viewpoint to get a better picture.
Never done a caricature type thing before, its not really my fault, Kerry twisted my arm so this was done at her request (fortunatly the man in the hat doesn't know exactly where I live), just a quick scribble to illustrate the concept.

When Malcolm posted it I got a little swamped the next day. He liked it so much he used it for his desktop as well as printed out a copy to hang on the wall.
It was only a quick sketch, I had thought of refining it but Malcolm said he liked it just as it was and quite a few others thought it was OK as is. They are probably right, refining it would give a better sketch but loose the spontaneity.

Perhaps we had better advise him of that most useful/less of versions of Murphy's Law: Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!

Let him find out the hard way, such lessons are better learned that way (and provides wonderful subject matter to caricaturise).

I've been out shooting with the man in the hat and all of this is very very true!

To get that great shot you have to go the extra, take the risks, ignore the signs.
Now what I need is more stories of misadventures of the Man in the Hat, never done a caricature before, it was actually fun to do and Malcolm has great features for a caricature artist to work with.

"Malcolm has great features for a caricature artist to work with"
You could use that as a insult!
Well, I didn't see him fall over or anything so I can't really help there.

Its a little better than mentioning his prominent nose, add to that the glases, hat and gum boots and you have a nice distinctive character to work with.

Brilliant!!! The resemblance has certainly been captured! Of course we all know Malcolm would never disobey advisory signs!
All I said was "don't forget the gumboots!" and " if you can't, I wonder who we could get to draw it"! I'm glad you gave it go!
Glad you like it Malcolm! Let's me of the hook as well as Don!

Malcolm has features that are a caricature artist's delight.
The idea just became too hard to resist so I gave it a go. Fortunatly Malcolm has a nice profile shot (sans hat) in his gallery (as well as a shot beside a danger sign).
