Caricature? -A caricature is a humorous illustration that exaggerates or distorts the basic essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature

When talking about caricature i cant miss this 2 big names; Sebastian Kruger and Jan Op Debeeck(among others) - Their artwork really influenced my artwork.
