Corporate party caricatures at South Bowl

 Can you spot my easel? 

Ok, here it is:

South Bowl is one of my favorite venues! Love gigging there. 

My client was coming in from Oakland, CA and he booked me to draw caricatures for this group of professionals from all over the country. Fun night!!

Thanks so much to both my client and a great venue!

Silhouettes at a corporate bbq...

 A beautiful September Tuesday found me scheduled for two gigs, 

an afternoon one doing silhouettes and an evening one doing caricatures. 

This was a nice company get-together in the courtyard of an office building...

After I set up under their tent, I asked if they had any dry erasers--so I could make their directional sign a little nicer ;-)

The silhouettes were thoroughly enjoyed!

It was a little breezy, so it was the first time I got to use this awesome Victorian clip I bought in a Manayunk antique place when I gigged there in August...it's holding my translucent envelopes down.

And I wore my scissors necklace! 

Thanks for having me!

 

Corporate event caricatures on a smoky day...

It's not haze, it's smoke from wildfires drifting down from Canada. Luckily, the first event on this particular Thursday, was being held in a nice air-conditioned hotel...

Drew for a couple of hours here...then it was off to an outdoor event in the evening...

More "Farmtainment" caricatures!

 It was back to the Big Chair for another big company event. This time, their day started with work-related seminars and ended with FUN---that included caricatures from me, and caricatoonz. 

First outdoor event of 2023. Glad I wore layers as it was breezy and chilly, but we still had eager sitters!

Here are a few of mine:

Here's the aforementioned Caricatoonz... and myself

and the nice fire pit that ended OUR evening:

Thanks for having us!

STEALTH caricatures at corporate holiday party!!!

 "Stealth" caricatures are a type of gig I haven't had much experience with yet, but the component parts are all within my abilities...

...wear black, walk around a crowded party with a clipboard, draw guests unawares, present them with drawing, then scurry away! At this particular party though, I was asked to pin them all to a display board.

So that's exactly what I did here!

And the guests were DELIGHTED!

The guests enjoyed figuring out each identity on the display. :-)

22 faces in two hours, not bad!

Stealth mode is not conducive for getting photos of subjects with their caricatures, though. As it was my first time trying this, maybe I'll get better at that part as I go. 

Thanks for having me!

Caricatures from the BIG CHAIR!

At this outdoor company event, my client asked me if I could draw caricatures of subjects in an unusual spot...this GIANT CHAIR! I was a little dubious, (because of the crazy up-your-nose angle) but it turned out to be quite an amazing choice! 

This is the wide view, there were other festivities and music going on all around me:

..and they even had a big sign for me, to go with the big chair:

Love it! Thank you for having me!

Daytime, midweek corporate event caricatures!

 It's always fun to do caricatures NOT on a weekend! Hooked up with this client via Gigsalad. :-)

Fun faces and vibe!

Thanks for having me!!

Corporate cocktail party caricatures!

 Fun in a skyscraper!!! 

My lovely client booked me in January of 2020...for a March 2020 event. Well, you know what happened THERE...a pandemic. So this evening's event used a deposit paid almost two and a half years ago...
