Pink and Orange 30th Birthday Caricatures!

Well, this weekend, the weather decided to be just *perfect* for outdoor parties! Everyone enjoyed sitting outside and getting a caricature from me, at this early-evening backyard 30th birthday party. First up was the birthday girl, and she included her hubby and kids in her color caricature. :-)

Then came a stream of guests of all ages. :-)

My lovely client had this to say on Gigsalad, where she booked me:

Huge Party Hit

Emily was so much fun! She was great with our guests & even the children. Everyone enjoyed their pictures. She was timely, professional & a pleasure to have!! Thank you so much for coming!!

Thank YOU for having me (and for the great photos!)! On the way home, I was treated to a beautiful pink and orange-tinged sunset!

My second time doing "stealth caricatures"...at a 30th birthday gala...

It was also my first time gigging for a new agency, 

long-time friend Keelan Parham's Artistic Talent Group. 

The client had been to an event of theirs in Florida, enlivened by a stealth caricaturist, and thought it would be perfect for her daughter's 30th birthday celebration, in our area...theme of which was "funeral for my youth"!! So everyone was in glamorous, sophisticated black (including me!) Above, you can see the small amount of paraphernalia I need for such a gig...a clipboard full of paper, a bag of pens, a small battery-powered light, and that's it!

Below are the birthday girl and her grandma, 

who were delighted to be handed this drawing!

 They had no idea!

Stealth caricatures mean the ARTIST chooses what subjects to do!

And they don't even having to be shown from the front! Backside ones are fun too!

 

I want more of these events! I do have one scheduled, but it would behoove me to show some of these on my website! Thanks ATG!

30th birthday airbrush commission---Super Ronald!

It's been a Super-Hero surge for gift caricatures lately! I recently did this airbrush commission for a young lady who wanted a great 30th-birthday gift for her boyfriend: 

From pencil sketch to ink to airbrushed final:

Here's what my client had to say:

He absolutely loved loved loved his picture. As soon as he got home he hung it up in his man cave....lol
Thank you so much!

Yeah, I love my job!
