Veterinary Open House Caricatures!

 I drew dogs, dogs, and more dogs... 

in a pretty little park, for a new veterinary practice on this drizzly Saturday:

Oh and I drew some people too!

Thank you for having me, Dr. Amy!

Dog Caricatures Part 2

This was an outdoor fundraiser for SavedMe at the Hotel Monaco, just down from Independence Hall in Philly. It was in the 80's, so it felt like August, not October....

Caricatures were drawn on a $10 donation basis. I was busy with real pets and photos of pets, once people saw what I was doing!

Sunset in Center City. 

Afterwards, I went down  the block and spent a few minutes looking at where the USA was born....

 

Dog Caricatures Part 1 (and cats, and a guinea pig too!)

This repeat-client asked if I could draw pets from photos, for their virtual employees, during an employee-appreciation event: 

I said.....YES!

Did you spot the *car* in there? 

As I drew each one, from a list that my client supervised, she then scanned and inserted them all into a PDF for all the employees to enjoy remotely!

And I did draw a few live humans, too:

Thanks so so much for having me and helping me hone my pet-drawing skills!

Wedding caricature including couple's beloved dog (and reception caricatures, of course!)

Here's the adorable pup, her name is Tulip!

I went with line-drawing-only caricatures as there were nearly two hundred guests-- many from far-flung places like Guatamala, Australia, India and Costa Rica!

This was a fabulous new venue for me, The Phoenixville Foundry, would love to do more events here!

Thank you to Pari and Christian, and Gigsalad!

 

January Holiday Party Caricatures!

 This medical office party happens in January every year, so it is very relaxed and fun! It's held at a private home, and this year even the staff support dogs attended! Here's one of them:

The party spreads over the whole house; I'm always the attraction in the dining room, but I meandered to the garage during my break and got one of those turnaround selfies from fetefullyyours360!

Here are some of my happy subjects! And thanks for keeping me on longer!

Finally, three friends and a reaction:

Til next January!! (barring any more pandemics :-O)

In-store holiday event caricatures...

 On a bright and shiny December Saturday morning, my caricatures were an unexpected bonus for customers at an upscale home/gift shop not far from Wilmington, Delaware. The hot-cake item folks were buying were POTUS, VPOTUS and RBG tree ornaments!

Santa was on hand as well, visiting many of the shoppes in the complex. I heard that FLOTUS was actually shopping nearby, (folks came in telling us so!) but she didn't come into our particular shop...it would have been fun to see her buy an ornament of her own husband!!

All my drawings were full color, and most of them were live sitters. 

The two drawings above were from photos. 

Below: my setup was a little different, I sat at a high table.

Thanks to Goofy Faces for the gig! :-D

A fabulous, fashion-forward 66th birthday party...with caricatures!

 The birthday girl was resplendent in blue!

Here she is when she made her entrance with her canine companion. And her backyard was definitely amazingly decorated as a party venue:

The gazebo canopy was perfect as a caricature studio, because it did sprinkle a few raindrops here and there.  Here are some of her happy guests:

Thank you for having me and extending my time (thanks to her brother!!!)

They sent me home with a big bag of goodies to eat. I love all the great folks I meet through my job :-)
