Christmas Day Caricatures at the Sixers game!

There hasn't been a Sixers home game on Christmas Day for 31 years...til this year! They went all out for the fans, lots of extra-fun stuff including my caricatures!

The halls were decked...

the signs were up:

and my markers were busy!

The two couples I photographed had special reasons for a caricature!

On the left, visitors from New Zealand who got engaged on their trip here (not at the game though)

and on the right, a couple who recently moved here and decided a Christmas Day outing to the game would be fun!

I got just a GLIMPSE of Santa as he was rushed by:

...and I posed next to some balloons before heading out to my own Christmas dinner with family. What a great Dec 25 this year!

Thanks to all my caricature and silhouette clients for making 2019 such a memorable year!

Philadelphia 76ers Caricature T-shirts for Home Opener 2017-18 Season!!!

I had a BIG commission recently :-)

Our hometown NBA team, the Philadelphia 76ers, had me do digital caricatures of the starting lineup, to be printed on 22,000+ t-shirts....to be given away to fans on Opening Night!!!!!

I walked into Wells Fargo Center and was totally awed, to see them all splayed out on the seats, pre-game:

The official Sixers Instagram that night: 41,000+ views!! 

L-R: Robert Covington, Ben Simmons, JJ Reddick, Coach Brett Brown, Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric and Joel Embiid. 

Dario is pictured below with more buzz about the shirt:

The Sixers also had me doing some live caricatures on the concourse during the first half of the game...

Next, two cool overhead vantage points: (good view of the balloon guy next to me)

Above: my cousin by marriage came along too, he's a rabid Philly sports fan. After the first half, we (and my hubby) headed for a nice meal overlooking the court:

..where we could see thousands of folks wearing the caricature shirts!!! woo hoo!

Here's a few more of them:

Below on the big screen: Both the announcer and the guy he's talking to are wearing one!

What a night!!! It was also my first NBA game ever.

Hope the 76ers have a GREAT season!!!! :-)
