[Groop] Golden Apple Card

[Grossmann, Gary (DOR)]

I guess he does caricatures more often at cons other than San Diego
where things are not so hectic.  There is usually a line at San Diego
and he usually turns down requests for caricatures.  
 
But, yes, obviously the taste factor is the biggest issue in this care.

Sergio will do a caricature of you for a sketch.  When you request it,
he'll quickly draw a rough sketch of you from the front and from the
side (profile) for reference.

The sketch request mentioned below is just in very, very poor taste.
