Reel on IG

For the second year, my caricatures for returning walkers were being sponsored by CSC Global.

(This lady said to make sure I included her Grinch!)

I did have a pink hoodie on under my coat, but it was a chilly morning (my hours were 8:45-10:45, so my gloves were definitely ON!) 

Thanks for having me!

80th birthday caricatures!

For my second gig of the day: These two lovely identical twin ladies received a birthday party at a favorite venue of mine, 

Harry's Savoy Grill in Delaware...and my caricatures were the surprise!

Here's my Reel on IG if you want to check out the atmosphere!

 

Thank you for having me!!

PSU Family Day/homecoming caricatures!

 PSU Brandywine is a renowned place to study... AND have fun on special occasions--by getting a caricature!

I unexpectedly got to work this event with a friend, Kara Mundy (who took the above photo)

and she is a GREAT facepainter! Check out her work....and mine!

We even took a turn at the photobooth with our artistic implements of choice:

Now for some caricatures:

Here is my Reel 1 and Reel 2 on my IG from this event, for some snippets of live action!

Thanks to my loyal Penn State Brandywine client, Tina, as always, for having me. We ARE!!!!

Client Appreciation caricatures

A beautiful fall afternoon, a gorgeous view from a country club, (check out my IG Reel) and lots of fun caricatures at a cocktail party, what more could you ask for, to entertain your treasured clients? Thanks to Gigsalad for putting us together! 

I drew all the folks holding cards with my client's logo....cute and BRANDED!

Fall weather- rustic barn wedding caricatures!

Two grooms celebrated their long-awaited wedding day on a beautiful and balmy autumnal afternoon. I did their caricature beforehand from photos, so it would be on display during the reception, and they had a caricature reveal before their guests arrived. Click here to see ambiance and reaction!

Here's my view of the ceremony from my perch in the barn!

After the ceremony, I did "stealth caricatures" during the outdoor cocktail hour. Guests thought I was just someone attached to the barn wedding venue as I walked around with a clipboard, til I sidled up to them and handed them a caricature!

Here are a few from the dozen I did in stealth mode.

When I drew this lady's hubby, she knew what was up since I had drawn her earlier...

so I was able to get this posed photo. ;-)

Then everyone went into the beautifully decorated barn, where I was already set up to continue 

with traditional caricatures at my easel.

And here are most of the guests I drew!

Thank you for having me Nathan and Bobby and CONGRATS!

Update: 10-18-24. One of the grooms left the the most thorough review I've ever received, on my Google page. Thank you Nathan!!

Emily is not only an amazing artist but a great team player when working with a multifaceted event like a wedding! She did an amazing job capturing us for our couple’s caricature. She did this before the event and used our social media platforms and some photos we sent her to make this- not only did it capture our essence amazingly, but it meant we could be present for guests during our reception instead of sitting for her to draw in the moment. Moreover, the amount of time and detail she was able to put into the caricature of us was 10x that than if we sat day of for her. She did “stealth caricatures” for us during cocktail hour - EVERY GUEST LOVED THIS! For the hour she went around randomly picking people and drawing them, then presented it to them before fading back into the background and sneakily picking the next guest. They all turned out so well - great detail, capturing smiles, unique features and more! Can’t recommend this idea enough as it was new and fresh for a wedding. We enjoyed seeing her draw various guests during the reception in the more traditional way. It was a unique flare to our wedding and also gave guests additional take home gifts to remember the day. Communication was always professional and quick, not to mention easy. Her work speaks for itself and truly is a memory we will keep for a lifetime!
