Ah, the camaraderie of caricature artists!
The ISCA convention flew by as it always does. The final evening is the awards banquet for which many of us dress up as only artists can...here's my roomie and I, about to make our way downstairs for a whole NIGHT of selfie-taking ;-)

THAT'S ALL CUT OUT OF ONE SHEET OF PAPER!!!!
Lar did a silhouette of ME!
And Celestia and I both received sketches from Danielle Corsetto, author/artist of
