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!

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!!
