Customer Appreciation Caricatures!

 A local credit union wanted to treat their customers to a morning of ice cream, face-painting, giveaways and my caricatures--I was happy to oblige! And the tent (plus my plastic bags) kept the slight drizzle from dampening my artwork. :-)

My husband was happy I brought HIM some swag from a nearby proprietor:

Thanks for having me, Del-One!

Tea Party Caricatures!

 I love tea, so doing this elegant tea party, given by an aunt for her niece, was right up my alley! And almost everyone sported a fascinator or a hat! I was in heaven!

It was a small group, so I was able to do everyone full-body, full color! I don't get to do that very much anymore. 

Thank you for having me!

 I had been looking forward to this event for ages--a three-day trade show in the PA Convention Center, for 12,000 folks from all over the USA!

1st birthday baby caricature! in a Mercedes!

 And it's not caricatures (plural) because I was so busy drawing dozens of little-kid guests, that I only got a few photos of the birthday girl at her pastel-Disneyfied party. Her mom did a great job with sourcing beautiful cookies, balloons, a face painter, a pink bounce house and my caricatures (which came via The Bash)!

When I saw the miniature Mercedes right on front of me of course I had to draw Baby Girl in it!

Thank you for having me and happy 1st birthday Iyla!

Cape May wedding caricatures...2023 edition

 I am honored to be on the preferred-vendor list of the Peter Shields Inn in Cape May, NJ...a beautiful Victorian seaside resort town that is one of my and my husband's favorite getaway places. So, I was thrilled to be part of yet another beachside wedding here..this one literally on the front steps, celebrating two brides:

That was my view of the ceremony while setting up!

Once the ceremony was over, people were ready to party--and get caricatured! Here they come!

Someone told me these ladies wanted their "hot legs" included!

And below, she wanted her espresso martini in it!

I just love the ornate mirrors in this room, so bear with me for the selfies...

Thanks for the love, PSI! and thanks to my two brides for having me be part of their wedding day!

I love my job!!!! 

UPDATE 6-22-23:

I got a lovely email from the brides, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for drawing everyone at our wedding! No one there had been to a wedding with a caricature artist before and you were definitely a hit! Our guests loved that they could have a memory of them and a loved one to take home. Thank you again for contributing your talents to our big day; booking you was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. 

Glamourous and joyous wedding reception caricatures!

This was my first time drawing caricatures at a Nigerian-American wedding reception, with hundreds of guests, amazing headdresses and fabrics in lavish color, and just general joy. I started out at the cocktail hour, doing line-drawing-only caricatures...so that I could get more folks drawn per hour. 

Then I moved into the ballroom area...

and saw this beautiful sight, being serenaded by a wonderful live saxophonist. 

(I did draw the bride and groom from a photo I took of them, and presented it to them towards the end of the reception, with the help of the Emcee. But by then, they had changed to another stylish ensemble. you'll see...)

Here are some more caricatures of guests:

Here is the bride and groom's color caricature:

The photographer asked to be drawn too, so I fitted him at the very tail end of the festivities:

...which was cool because he shared my story onto his IG story...to his 180k followers!!!!!!

Thanks to the Bash and my wonderful client, the bride, for having me! Congratulations to you both!
