The Barts

The Barts

It's time to a take break from the more "serious" stuff. This is my latest caricature, a portrait of my "lawyer" with my goddaughter and her loving husband. Our friendship goes way back in college and I've known this lady to be very tough. I don't know why she ended up as a lawyer when our university's physics department was known for producing top-notch "physicians".hehe

Whatever her reasons were, I am very happy that she has finally chosen a field where she can sink her fangs into. Deep. But to be honest, I'm happier that I get legal advice and notarization for free!hahaha

Anyway, my friend here used to envy my three names and the crazy couple that they were came up with a crazier name for my goddaughter. Yazou Nizhoni Zuleika! Damn, I don't know if I even spelled it right! What were you guys into when you named this poor little girl?hahaha I am worried about the day she learns how to write; she will always be the last pupil to finish their writing exercises. I hope she doesn't drop out of school and rebel because of her name.:P What the hell am I saying? I'm sure this baby will turn out to be one of the brightest kids this world has to offer. Just look at that smirk, LOVELY!

  1. OMG, Bjornik. I am smiling from ear to ear. This is fantastic! I can't get over little Yazou's big personality. You've captured it so perfectly! They ALL look really great, in fact. You're a really wonderful caricature artist.

    Whew! That IS a mouthful of a name. Does it mean anything?

  3. Hi Bella, it means my friends are crazy for punishing my goddaughter with a very peculiar name. The first two names were from each of the parents then the third one's a joint account.:D I forgot their meanings though.

    ARNO! Nainggit ka pa eh ikaw tong dalubhasa sa pagpipinta. Gusto ko rin matuto ng gouache mo!:)

  6. Hi Bjorn! Thank you so much for this wonderful work! :)

    By the way, it's the first name which is the "joint account;" the last two names came from each of us :)
