Burnt orange and umber wedding caricatures

 This fabulous wedding had an unusual color scheme: burnt orange and umber, which was PERFECT for the line-drawing-only caricatures I was drawing for the guests...the toned paper made them pop! 

But first, the bride and groom:

I made sure to get his beloved cognac in there! Here is their reaction on my IG. 

There was a unique connection with this bride---I had drawn her two years ago at an anniversary party. 

All my drawings have my contact info on them, so when she booked me I asked whose party it was, and she told me. Then I asked her what she was wearing at this party and if I'd taken a photo--

she said a green feathered-top.  Turns out

 I'd included her photo when I designed my vinyl pull-up banner I use at almost every gig!!!

She's in the middle photo, top row in glasses, doing duck lips (which is why I included that caricature 

as a sample because it was so cute!) 

Here you can see where I was situated at her gloriously over-the-top reception:

Here's how my toned paper looked for the guest caricatures!

The dance floor was PACKED all night:

Thank you for having me C & A!!!!

Dog Caricatures at bank's promotional event!

This bank likes dogs (and their humans!)...so they had me drawing dog caricatures on the opening day of their dog ATM--it dispenses water and treats!! 

Ambiance Reel on IG :-)

Some drawings were done from photos on folks' phones, and more were from the actual dog 

who came in with them:

Mostly, I drew dogs with their human:

Thanks for having me!!!  Woof!

Silhouettes for an evening corporate dinner party

 It could not have been a more pleasant evening, both weather-wise and people-wise! My set up was on the Garden Shed's veranda at Terrain at Styers.

At first, it was mostly the ladies coming over and being delighted by how elegant they look in silhouettes!

Towards the end, I started doing stealthy silhouettes from afar: (and including some guys!)

Thank you to Maria at UniquelyPhiladelphia for having me, and to the helpful folks at Terrain!

The moon and Jupiter were on display when I left!

Silhouettes---at Spirit of 1776 street festival

Here I am in full Colonial garb, (not the shoes though!) with my lovely client who booked me to do Georgetown's America250 celebration. I was set up in the Welcome tent to do free silhouettes for festival-goers, and I met so many awesome folks there!

I didn't take many pics due to being busy, but this lady's hat was just so perfect !!!

Couples:

I cut out so many child silhouettes. For one family, I did their EIGHT sons (Mom was ecstatic) and would have gotten a photo, but the older ones went off on their travels before I got through all of them. But here are some other youngsters:

 A girl and her grandmom:

And a few more:

Thanks to Georgetown for having me!

Afterward my gig,  I took a short drive over to Lewes, DE and had a nice late-afternoon beach session!
