Outdoor wedding reception, with caricaturist colleague ArtGirl

Art Girl Deb actually brought me along to help out at her gig, which was appreciated by me!

Here's my Reel about this very sultry evening. 

As I mentioned, it was a blazingly hot evening, but the bridal couple and guests were definitely in a celebratory mood ;) 

We artists were stationed in a snug little air-conditioned barn---so we were a very popular attraction! (this photo was taken at the end of the night)

Here's some of my work:

This is Deb at work:

...with some kissy-kissy subjects! 

And here's one of me NOT at work ;-)

We always seem to sartorially match when we meet up, and we aren't even trying!!

Thanks to Deb's clients, and Deb for having me! :-)

Father-Daughter Valentine Caricatures

On Friday night, my skills were added to those of SEVEN other caricature artists, drawing for a sweet Father-Daughter Valentine event at a local hotel. We were actually back for the first time in two years, of course, due to the still-lingering pandemic. Every guest there (probably close to 200 people) got a caricature, snuggled in a heart-shaped design. I know I personally drew 29 of them, because a sign-up sheet was used for each artist (something I normally don't encourage, but it went well). 

Here's a sampling of my drawings:

I did many twosomes, but also plenty of larger daddy-daughter groupings:

LOL these are about half my output for the evening---not bad for two hours. 

I used all markers for these, both linework and shading were done with Copic Sketchmarkers. 

Here's a shot of all the other artists (my apologies to Deb who was at the far, far end from me, so not a good pic of her)

Thanks to David for the gig!
