More coaster caricatures, done stealth style...at corporate event

 This was a fun one...they were so busy socializing they never noticed me on the sidelines:

I handed them all out towards the end of the party, to delighted SCREAMS!!!

Library Grand Opening---with mini-caricatures!

They weren't just mini-caricatures, they were on COASTERS! I offer this as an option, and I'm surprised more clients don't take me up on it...the benefit is, since I can only do individuals on them (they're a tiny 4 x 4 inches) that means everyone who is drawn goes home with one (unlike when I draw couples and groups....someone gets to keep it, and someone doesn't.)

Anyhow on this lovely, sunshiney day, a local long-awaited brand new library opened to much acclaim. Many told me it seemed more like a wonderfully welcoming community center. So I was very happy to be part of its Grand Opening!

And Dolly was there in spirit!!!

I had a line from the get-go....here are a few:

And it was all LADIES!!!!

Hopefully I will be doing more events here in the future. Thank you for having me, NoMa Library!

60th Birthday Caricature COASTERS!

 This was my first caricatures on coasters gig, AND it was also a stealth gig! 

The occasion was a belated 60th birthday for a very musical birthday gal (she plays in a mariachi band and a swing band!) and her big day had actually been during the pandemic, so she is a very young 60. 😂😂😂

I knew folks were going to be singing and jamming on musical instruments, so it was very easy to blend in and draw them while they played. Birthday gal belted out this song!

So, drawing caricatures on little cork/paper coasters has been a "thing" for awhile now. I bought a bunch  a year ago, but hadn't had the opportunity to use them until this party. They are small enough not to be a burden to carry around (both for artist and recipient), and can be done without an elaborate easel setup. 

I used just a few Prismacolor pencils and enjoyed doing them! Now I need to market them!

This young lady had a beautiful singing voice! She was so surprised when, after she sang, I handed her that coaster!

Here's the saxophonist. Pleased as punch that I drew him!

Bass player!

And some random audience-guests:

Happy birthday Judy!
