Temple Welcome Back caricatures!

 On Wednesday, I drew at another college "Welcome Back" festivity, this time at Temple University in Phiily, for med/dental/pharma students. The music wasn't deafening so I could actually chat, while I worked on creating a fun keepsake for many freshman, and returning upperclassmen!

 

At the end, I drew my (repeat) client and his staff. They have last year's caricature hanging in their office, soon to be joined by this one! Thanks for having me!

Here's the IG Reel if you're interested! And a caricature reaction!

Washington College Welcome Back caricatures!

On Sunday afternoon, I returned to Washington College on the Eastern Shore of Maryland 

to draw at their "Welcome Back" dinner in the dining hall. 

Got to meet students from such varied places as Morocco, China, South Africa...and lots from MD/PA/NJ.

Surprise 50th birthday caricatures!

 This party was extra special to me, because ten years ago, this gentleman (whose 50th was being celebrated) booked me to do his daughter's 1st birthday party. This time, his wife booked me for this SURPRISE party, and she had him totally shocked when he came in!

Here are some of the drawings I did:

And here is the baby (at whose party I met this lovely family) (on the left)

There was an amazing percussion performance during the party:

And they served ice cream to everyone ( I needed some after a fabulous Indian meal!)

Here's my Reel so you can hear the drumming: IG Reel

Thank you for having me!!! happy 50th!

Wellness Fair silhouettes for teachers' first day back

Well, this was an early morning gig for Silhouettes by Emily! (8 am!!) Two of my son's friends are now HR professionals at the high school they all attended, and they thought my silhouettes would be just the thing for a teachers' first-day-back wellness fair for the school district. I had a huge line of delighted ladies, (and two gentlemen) and it was a blast meeting them! Thanks for having me M & K!!

Marvelous music hall wedding caricatures!

 I knew this wedding would be amazing the second I walked in...

It's Elkton Music Hall, a concert/event venue that was converted from one of the first Ford dealerships in the United States. These walls saw Ford Model T's gleam on a showroom floor! My spot is on the right. The couple are creatives, so I felt right at home!

And now for the bride and groom!!

I drew them before starting on their guests because I was able to get a couple of really good photos to work from...but they didn't get to see it until the end of the reception.

The order of the night was 5 x 5 MINI-caricatures for the guests, which are exploding in popularity, I should have offered them a long time ago!

LOL she got in one with her BFF and one with her wife!

They wanted their sunglasses on??

This guy and his heckling friends all proclaimed his nose was SO BIG it wouldn't fit on my paper. So I taped two pieces together and cut his nose out in profile. I call that A WIN for the caricaturist!

Here's their reaction reel on my IG.

LOL!

The bride and groom were presented with THEIR caricature at the end of the night...so sweet!!

(he liked how his beard turned out)

Here is THEIR reaction...awwwww!

I took a selfie by their red rose wall. Thank you for having me!!!
