There is a rejunvenation project happening in Sheffield. One of the things the council is doing is allowing businesses the chance to create window displays which celebrate Sheffield and the business that work here. I am doing a project with Richard Smith who is a caricaturist. We decided to celebrate Castle Market and the people who work and shop there. Castle Market is 50 years old this year so it was a great opportunity to go and chat to people who work and shop there. Richard and I had a great morning meeting some great people. Everyone we met had a story to tell and we are looking forward to putting a display together in the next few weeks. We are going to create a Market Stall window with my portraits Richard’s caricatures of the same people. Hopefully people will love finding the caricature of each person we photographed. Here are a few of the characters:
She had the best laugh of the morning!
The bread delivery man.
This is a true gentleman....he had a great story and was such a charmer!
Another great character.
Local Newspaper Stall. Another great smile.
This guy was visiting from London to get a new tattoo done. His design would take 8 hrs to be completed!!
Rock on!
A very happy and loving couple.
A local butcher..another great character.
Ladies who lunch! These ladies had come out for a bit of retail therapy and a spot of lunch. They were a good giggle.
Another day at Castle Market
