Caricature artists
A caricature is an image of real-life people in which their features are exaggerated or simplified. Caricatures can be either insulting or complimentary, can serve a political purpose, be drawn solely for entertainment, or a combination of both. You’ve probably seen them in newspapers, in the form of political commentary.
This year, caricaturists are going viral all over social media for hilarious or complimentary cartoons of tourists. Here are some of our favorite accounts:
