Halloween Victorian fundraiser caricatures!

This gig was a joy from start to finish...from the  amazing setting (Doom Bar in Philadelphia) to the costumed subjects sitting for my MINI-caricatures!!!! It was called "NosFURatu", a fundraiser for the PAWS animal welfare non-profit, and it was definitely well attended! The fabulous old silent movie Nosferatu played the whole time, and themed drinks were flowing!

Here are two Reels so you can see the ambiance and a caricature reaction. 

Happy Halloween!!

College Fall Festival Caricatures!

 Yesterday was the first really crisp, fall day here and I spent the afternoon outside, drawing caricatures of fall-fest-enjoying college students, along with my crazy friend Pat Harrington...

Here are some of mine, and the Ambiance Reel..

Click to see their reactions!!

I'm glad I had a purple marker with me!

Thanks for having us, UD!!

Silhouettes at a corporate extravaganza!

My silhouettes were part of a 2000-guest corporate gala at the Convention Center in Philly on Tuesday night, curated by a top-notch event planning team. There were sections for every conceivable Philadelphia cultural institution...sports, food, murals, fashion, music...and history, which is where BEN FRANKLIN and I come in!

I donned my Colonial garb and introduced guests to 1700's-style profile portraiture! And Ben hobnobbed with guests and posed for selfies!

A bit of my output for the evening:

 

Another amazing facet of this party was the fact that many traditional artists were part of it, even though its audience was tech-minded folks. It's great that old-school hands-on artistry is still appreciated!

I met this beautiful lady who was doing Live fashion Illustration and we did a trade!

There was also a Live Mural Artist:

And Mummers!

Below: My view of the convention center and Phila City Hall upon leaving!

I do wish I had more varied photos; there was so much more going on than I've shown here, as it was a  frenetic evening, and frankly a bit overwhelming being there! (Plus I had a very long line the whole time.) Here is my Ambiance Reel, and Other Artists Reel. 

Many thanks for having me!

Country-style wedding caricatures in Delaware

 This is the lovely sunset view from the barn of Evergreen Farms near Clayon, Delaware...

for the wedding reception of a very SWEET couple I met 

at the open house of wedding planners PartyGirls DE. 

(Pic is just the groom waiting for his beautiful bride to join him ;-)

Reels: Ambiance.       Reactions!

Below: pano with the view of my caricatures station....

I did their caricature FIRST upon arrival:

And here they are with it!

The guests were delighted to be drawn and I was busy-busy-busy from the time I sat down:

(The Philadelphia Phillies were still in the playoffs--so this couple was cheering them on!)

I'd drawn THIS couple at their OWN wedding this past summer!

The matron of honor and her family:

Took home some cookies and pizza that the couple had thoughtfully ordered for all the late-staying guests!

Thank you for having me, Courtney and Mark!
