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!!

Halloween FUNdraiser caricatures~

 Way back in the spring, I was booked for this Halloween-themed fundraiser to benefit 

Faithful Friends Animal Shelter, 

but I had no idea there was gonna be LIVE MUSIC! Harness and 440 were fantastic! It felt like being at a high school dance, except we are all old now ;-) !

So....caricatures! Still getting accustomed to the new tripod easel. 

Yes, of course I drew the Gene Simmons impersonator!!!   :-P

...and the bass player (after he removed the Darth Vader helmet)

So much fun! Thank you for having me!!!

Backyard Halloween Party Caricatures for a "Ghouls' Happy BOO!-thday!

On Saturday, I did a combination early-Halloween/birthday party for some serious fans of what is one of my favorite holidays! This family, including a birthday-girl tightrope walker and a birthday girl ringmaster, celebrates in early October and welcomed a big group to their fantastically decorated yard...during the late afternoon, the party was dedicated to the kids' activities:

The later it got, the more grown-up the guests became...including a couple of anniversary-celebrating couples! First, here's this lady's delighted reaction:

This caricaturist left as night fell, after the client extended my time there for an extra hour---thanks!!!! And also to The Bash for putting us together! :-)

Halloween party caricatures!

Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, along with a full moon, clocks changing, a crazy imminent election and a worsening pandemic. But this backyard Halloween party was still FUN! 

Yes, of course I wore a mask! THAT kind of mask!

Halloween Caricatures!!! Woooooooo

I was so happy to be booked (via Gigmasters) for this "BOOs and BOOZE" Halloween party this year! I LOVE dressing in my vintage witch costume...although I did get a new (smaller) witch hat to go with it. 

Hostess set me up in the living room with creepy cool signage!

Here's a few caricatures. Have to admit, my favorite costume was the Double Dare couple. 

My Halloween-loving client (she's the one with the murderous teddy bear in the first photo) left me some great feedback on Gigmasters:

Emily was fantastic!! She was super accommodating and had brought everything she needed with her including her own light, something that other artists we’ve had in the past hadn’t done. All of our guests were super impressed and we heard over and over that it was the best caricature they had ever had done! We highly recommend her!
