Caricaturist sign spotted along the SF waterfront, the one teeming with tourist. I doubt if this is still the going rate for a caricature, since this shot was captured in 2008.
That’s what bugged me about America when I visited in 1999 – adding tax on everytime instead of quoting the tax included price – and then they want a tip on top of that – things seemed much less of a bargain when you finally had to pay.
I bet it has gone up now. I really am not shy to pose in some Parks here like Universal Studios.
Since it was my first coverage for the LA Marathon, I was not familiar with the road closures and traffic, and especially parking. I left at 7:15 a.m. and was at Mile 17 at 8:30 after looking for free Sunday parking.

$2.75 is not bad—it’s probably more than $4.00 these days.:p
i still keep a caricature of myself drawn by an artist in Greenbelt many moons ago.

It does seem to be a bargain!

Everyone should have it done once, especially at that price. 😉

I’m sure inflation has struck the caricature business along with everything else. I like the color you’ve kept in the sign.

Even at $4 it would be a fun thing to have as a souvenir!

I think I’m funny ENOUGH looking without someone drawing a Caricature of me!
