High School Mini-THON caricatures!

Second time doing this event! And they booked me for a longer period than last year, so as to get even more students drawn. That being said, I drew 79 students in four hours, using my line-drawing-only speed mode.

You can see ALL of them here on this IG Reel!

And some reactions and ambiance. :-)

Here's a few other pics from a VERY productive afternoon!

Yay! Thanks for having me!

Open House Caricatures!

 A previous client, who had booked me to do caricatures at her former place of employment... went into business for herself, along with her sister...and booked me for her own Open House!

The Party Girls are based in Middletown Delaware, and help folks make fabulous party memories with their expertise. They invited folks to come tour their warehouse and my caricatures were the entertainment along with empanadas, cookies, and pink lemonade ( all of which I enjoyed along with the guests!)

Thanks for having meeeeee! :-)

Silhouettes at Fabulous Fifth Birthday!

 Silhouettes were a wonderful addition to this Princess-themed 5th birthday party! I cut out LOTS of tiaras, and used pink backing cards for most of the silhouettes.

And here is the Princess with her brother, the knight! Below, my setup:

The most important silhouettes!

Here are some more...I cut mostly children at this event (these five all had a parent right with them, so I could ask for a photo.)

Look who else was invited!

What a wonderful evening! And my client is a gem, she even sent me home with an entire pizza! Thank you for having me at your daughter's big bash. 

When I got home I arranged all my offcuts so I could see how many I did... you can see tiaras galore and there are two adults sprinkled in there. 44 profiles in three hours (with a pause for singing, cake-cutting and eating!)

2025 Sweetheart Dance (father-daughter) caricatures

 I've done this event many times over the years, and it's always delightful to see dads and daughters enjoying the dance floor...along with NINE caricaturists providing artistic souvenirs!

The custom here is that each artist is expected to draw 30 or more faces in two hours, (so as to get everyone done) using a sign-up sheet on a tray table behind each of us. Here's my spot (I'm Artist B!) :

Here's some of my output:

( I managed 34 faces total, using my line-drawing-only mode)

Sadly, I didn't get a group shot of all of us artists...it's always chaotic at the end of this event!

Thanks for having me, Mr DavidCPerry!

Team-building silhouette AND caricature event!

 For my third event of 2025, I headed to a fashionable retail establishment whose manager was holding a team-building event, in looking forward to SPRING! (which was especially ironic as it was quite a snowy afternoon). She found me via Gigsalad and was hoping I could do both caricatures and silhouettes for her small group. Usually, I don't do BOTH at an event, because the setups are different and require double the supplies. So I asked if drawing small caricatures on a clipboard, actually on my silhouette backing cards, would work for her...and voila, it did!

le 

I was able to do 20 people, two pieces of artwork each, in 2 hours and fifteen minutes. 

It was efficient because one of the team acted as line monitor, and always had the next person ready to go as I finished the prior one. Everyone was enthusiastic and I was able to chat a bit with them all.

Thanks so much for having me and for this nice feedback on Gigsalad: 

So much fun! Emily is such a talented artist and I am so glad we booked her. The team had an amazing time and couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. I would absolutely book her again!

2nd gig of 2025: caricatures at an Eagles fan's 60th birthday celebration!

Travelled downstate a bit to draw at this gentleman's 60th birthday 'do...capably organized by his lovely daughter, who is one of my favorite wedding coordinators around! Here is his airbrushed sign-in caricature:

And here he is with me, before things kicked off. :-)

The guests were queued up right away, here are a few of them:

My client and her husband...hope to see them both at wedding receptions this year!

Here's one more,  a lady with the cutest freckles ever!

I love my job! 😍
