Silhouettes for an evening corporate dinner party

 It could not have been a more pleasant evening, both weather-wise and people-wise! My set up was on the Garden Shed's veranda at Terrain at Styers. 

Ambiance Reel on IG

At first, it was mostly the ladies coming over and being delighted by how elegant they look in silhouettes!


Towards the end, I started doing stealthy silhouettes from afar: (and including some guys!)

Thank you to Maria at UniquelyPhiladelphia for having me, and to the helpful folks at Terrain!

The moon and Jupiter were on display when I left!

Silhouettes---at Spirit of 1776 street festival


Here I am in full Colonial garb, (not the shoes though!) with my lovely client who booked me to do Georgetown's America250 celebration. I was set up in the Welcome tent to do free silhouettes for festival-goers, and I met so many awesome folks there!

I didn't take many pics due to being busy, but this lady's hat was just so perfect !!!

Couples:


I cut out so many child silhouettes. For one family, I did their EIGHT sons (Mom was ecstatic) and would have gotten a photo, but the older ones went off on their travels before I got through all of them. But here are some other youngsters:

 A girl and her grandmom:

And a few more:

Thanks to Georgetown for having me!

Afterward my gig,  I took a short drive over to Lewes, DE and had a nice late-afternoon beach session!

Grad Party for French exchange student! with Sign-in Caricature

 

You can see the graduate herself in my IG Reel.  Her American "mom" asked me to add in some iconic Philadelphia things...of course, I drew the Phanatic!


That's her French maman on the far left! And the Dutch neighbor on the far right. :-)

Three sisters! ( the middle one was the hostess of the party and of the graduate!)



Thanks for having me!!

Wedding Reception with a real rainbow....and mini-caricatures!

 This is amazing and has never happened at any outdoor wedding reception I've done that I can remember... first a storm, and then a rainbow!! This was truly an evening full of memorable moments.

Here's the video version, in my IG Reel.



Look at that rainbow!
Ok...let's back up a bit...I arrived with a pre-drawn wedding caricature in a signature mat, for the guests to sign their well wishes, and set up on the patio adjacent to the tent for cocktail hour...I had it covered up so the bride and groom wouldn't see it, as they'd opted to be surprised:


People started signing it, and I commenced drawing guests..with over 250 folks there, I used my line-drawing-only mode with mini-caricatures, for speedy results:

Just as the first hour ended and people were asked to head to the tent, this storm arrived:
So everyone adjourned inside the manor house and I continued drawing:



Once the rain stopped, everyone ventured out to the tent and I took a break, so the bride and groom could make their entrance and have speeches and dances. I took some photos of the unsettled, amazing sky...



After dinner, guests came back to the covered porch (third location!)  where I ended my sessions...




The bride and groom were the very last to receive their caricature:
and it was a success!
