Craig David: Southampton’s Hero
Southampton-born-and-bred superstar Craig David rose to fame in 1999, defining an era with his R&B and Garage sound. However, his story also highlights the incredible influence of caricature. The spoof show Bo’ Selecta! used an exaggerated, rubber-masked character to lampoon him, proving how a “plausible yet false” impression can redefine a celebrity’s public persona overnight.
Much like the puppets of Spitting Image—which famously transformed “boring” Steve Davis into a household name—caricature holds the power to shape identity. For me, as a caricaturist, this history is a fascinating reminder of my craft. My goal isn’t to “destroy” with satire, but to capture energy, sparking laughter and genuine connection at every event.
