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..

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!

Mini-caricatures at the Mutter!

 A client booked me via The Bash for a combination Halloween party/trade show at one of my favorite venues, The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia! 

Ambiance Reel!

So I did my speedy line-drawing-only mini-caricatures and drew 35 people in two hours. 

Here's his reaction, ha!

Some folks were in costume, some weren't. All had fun!

I asked her if she was Freddie Mercury, and she said No," Ted Lasso!! But interesting alternative."

The very next morning this feedback was waiting for me on The Bash: 

"Emily was great at our event and will book again for our next one. " 5 stars!

Thank you!!
