Who is the ideal target for a cartoonist?

Anyone lucky enough to possess the skill to work as a cartoonist has to able to turn their hand to poking fun at people in the public eye. Here are some examples of people who are popular targets:

Perhaps the best place to start when it comes to celebrities ripe for any cartoonist to attempt to draw is Hollywood. Sylvester Stallone, with his muscle bound physique a gormless default facial expression, is a staple of the caricaturists across the world. Arnold Schwarzenegger is similarly popular. In fact almost any actor from the action hero genre is easy meat for the jobbing cartoonist. For instance large-headed ponytailed hard man Steven Seagal, with his penchant for martial arts, is another ideal candidate.

Maybe even more commonly sketched, in the UK at least, are politicians. Since the days of Punch magazine, the satirical political cartoonist has never been short of work. One just has to think back to the days of puppet show Spitting Image to see how popular caricatures of ministers can be. Since then Margaret Thatcher and later Tony Blair have been depicted in light-hearted sketches in newspapers and magazines, with historical examples from cartoonists showing the likes of Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George being used as sources in text books in schools up and down the country.

Famous musicians are not usually famed for not taking themselves too seriously. Consequently a cartoonist has to do this for them. Those with distinctive features are the most drawn, with Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and Madonna being three favourites. Sports figures are also often victimised, particularly household names from the world of football. For instance Wayne Rooney and Ronaldinho regularly suffer the ridicule of the cartoonist due to their unconventional looks.

I am a fan of celebrity caricatures. Can I hire the services of a cartoonist myself?
