Employee Appreciation Caricatures!

What a gorgeous spot to draw some caricatures! This is a lounge in a 55+ community, and the day was dedicated to celebrating the employees:

This lady was the staff photographer:

Thanks for having me!!

Monster Mile Caricatures!

 For the second year in a row, my caricatures were part of the Fan Zone at the Monster Mile for NASCAR's All-Stars weekend! It was held in May instead of July this time, which made for a nice change weather-wise.

My little black tent is just diagonal to the bottom left corner of the text box...

...right in front of the Airstream that was repping DE State Parks! You can see my line!

So... this year I made a giant composite photo for my client...

here's ALL the drawings I did over the three-day event!

Here's a select few in a bigger size: 

 

Sunglasses seemed to be a theme, as they were imperative on the first day! 

I was using Pan Pastels as I did last year, for ease and speed of adding color and shading. 

And this year's branded paper had the All-Stars logo and a commanding portrait 

of Miles the Monster. 

Day 2 Saturday brought some brisk breezes, but I was prepared. The poor inflatable ducky had to be taken down after attempting to stay vertical for awhile:

Family Caricature!

This lady recognized me from a silhouette gig she'd hired me for, several years ago at a college event!!!

Day 3 Sunday

Thanks again to everyone!

Blue-hued wedding caricatures

My profile on The Bash put this bride and I together, almost two years ago (!) for this beautiful wedding reception held at Terrain this past weekend. The long wait was definitely worth it!

Prior to starting on guests during the cocktail hour, I was able to get a photo of both the bride and groom... and so I drew their caricature during the ceremony... from a spot just behind their live band, the Mark Feingold Jazz Trio.

Eventually I ended up near the dance floor (great spot!)

Now for some guests:

Here's my IG Reels: The bride and groom's reaction,

a wedding guests caricature reaction,

and the Ambiance Reel!

Thank you for having me Jena and Jacob!

Engagement party MINI-caricatures at a winery!

A proud mom booked me to draw at her daughter and future SIL's engagement party at her home, which encompassed an amazing brick courtyard/party area... and winery! They had added a tent at the entrance to fit more guests, and I was seated out there...right next to a heating vent (happy me!) as it was a chilly evening. It didn't dampen any one's spirits though!

It was MINI-caricatures for everyone!

Check out my Ambiance Reel on IG!

And a huge thank you to the very generous hostess, who sent me home with a full bag of leftovers and two bottles of wine!!! I appreciate you! :-)
