Beautiful micro-wedding at the beach, with my caricatures as wedding favors!

This couple couldn't have had a more perfect day for their wedding ceremony and reception...comfortable temps, low humidity and a gorgeous view of the beach made it a total pleasure! (And the venue did its part, too! ;-)

The Peter Shields Inn and Restaurant has recommended my services to quite a few brides and grooms now, for which I am very thankful...

because I love visiting Cape May, and making people happy with my drawings!

This time, instead of being inside, in the elegant parlor, I was outside on the breezy front porch!

My subjects were seated in the comfy wicker loveseat. 

And I was honored to witness their ceremony (above). 

Cocktail hour commenced with drinks and caricatures!

During the toasts and meal, I worked on the bridal caricature from a photo:

They were surprised!

Thank you both for having me! 

And also for the unexpected hilarity of the greeting-the-guests wedding mirror:

Tee-hee!! 😆 but probably true for 99% of all brides!

Quinceanera Caricatures!

 A previous corporate client turned into a regular (and repeat) client, 

by booking me for her niece's fabulous Quinceanera!

Here they are! (I arrived and started after the birthday girl had changed into her 2nd beautiful dress, so I don't have a photo of the blue confection she wore to the earlier ceremony. ) 

The banquet facility was lavishly dressed in royal blue and gold:

You can see my spot to the right, below. 

This was such a FUN party, everyone was exuberantly celebrating! 

Mom/daughter, and Mom/son caricatures!

Check out this couple's over-the-top reaction on my IG!

Here's two more reels from this event:    Reel 1.   Reel 2.

Since I took photos of everyone at this one, I know my caricature speed: 53 shaded B/W faces

 in four hours = 13.33333 faces per hour, at 4.5 minutes each. 

Thank you for having me, Francheska and family!!!

 

Senior Picnic caricatures!

This school used to do the late-night celebration, but this year they opted to have a Senior Picnic in the school courtyard in the early evening. So both my banner and I sat under an umbrella, and churned out a bunch of happy soon-to-be grads! 

and I drew the friendly security guard again, I have drawn her several times now!

Thanks for having me, BCHS!

Company Picnic Caricatures!

A ramping-up heat wave did NOT stop this company from enjoying a company picnic on their campus!

Look at this AWESOME sign they made for me (and let me keep at the end! It will come in handy as "Boardwalk" is definitely a popular theme)

Due to the large number of folks, I was asked to do my speedier "line-drawing-only" style of caricature. 

Here's a few of their happy employees:

Then after lunch, they moved me into the lobby (with A/C)  and I drew some more, including a dog from a photo at the end. LOL!

Thanks for having me!

Carnival-themed 1st Birthday Caricatures!

Happy 1st birthday to this adorable but serious little fellow! Of course, the birthday kid always gets a deluxe, full-color caricature. I use Prismacolor Artstix to do these, which are discontinued, but I have enough to last me some years as long as I only use them for birthday people, guests of honor, and brides-and-grooms!

His carnival-themed party was held in a fabulously decorated celebration space not far from where I live, so that was nice for me. I did line-drawing-only caricatures for the guests, so was able to do most of the kids and a few adults. Here's a couple of them:

The lady above requested the word balloon, LOL!

Thanks for having me! :-)
