Employee Appreciation GROUP caricatures

 My client warned me there would be a lot of GROUPS being drawn at this event. She was right! 

Groups of FIVE in fact!

(LOL complete with my feet! )

After that, doing triples, couples and singles seemed easy!

Thanks for having me be a part of your office celebration!

Live Guest Portraits at 40th birthday bash---on a yacht!

 I never know what to call these, they have so many names: Live Guest Illustrations, Live Guest Portraits, Live Fashion Illustration....but on this night,

I was doing them on a river cruise!

The Spirit of Philadelphia!

The birthday girl was celebrating her 40th:

These are 5 x 7 adorable little drawings on cardstock, done with Microns and 

my beloved Copic Sketch markers.

Here's everyone I was able to do in a little over two hours:

Thank you for having me, Gigi!

More coaster caricatures, done stealth style...at corporate event

 This was a fun one...they were so busy socializing they never noticed me on the sidelines:

I handed them all out towards the end of the party, to delighted SCREAMS!!!

Library Grand Opening---with mini-caricatures!

They weren't just mini-caricatures, they were on COASTERS! I offer this as an option, and I'm surprised more clients don't take me up on it...the benefit is, since I can only do individuals on them (they're a tiny 4 x 4 inches) that means everyone who is drawn goes home with one (unlike when I draw couples and groups....someone gets to keep it, and someone doesn't.)

Anyhow on this lovely, sunshiney day, a local long-awaited brand new library opened to much acclaim. Many told me it seemed more like a wonderfully welcoming community center. So I was very happy to be part of its Grand Opening!

And Dolly was there in spirit!!!

I had a line from the get-go....here are a few:

And it was all LADIES!!!!

Hopefully I will be doing more events here in the future. Thank you for having me, NoMa Library!

Baby shower silhouettes on blue paper!

 This was a very special baby shower, for a precious baby boy...

the theme was "We can BEAR-ly Wait" so I went with blue backing cards, with a tiny little bear...

here's the beautiful expectant mother!

The decoration of the hall was amazing as usual, done by Prestige Decor:

The guests were surprised and delighted by the silhouettes:

Two different updos!

These two brothers were actually happier than this picture shows....it's just that they were among the very few BOYS there!

Did this guy from far away...

and I had fun showing the details of her glasses!

Congrats to the about-to-be parents!
