2nd day of NCN mini-con

The second day saw seminars by Okie Artist--Teresa Farrington, Ed Steckley, and the party-artists competition.

Okie discussed many creative marketing techniques for caricature artists, likening it to bubbles that pop and leave residue. The residue is your contact info and work images, blowing wherever, and you never know where a possibility for work may pop up as a result of your bubble-blowing!

Ed Steckley discussed the psychology of live caricature, and how to ge a subject to relax and show their true persona rather than a forced "Sears photo studio" smile...
