A bright and early conference event close to home, started my Saturday...with MINI-Caricatures!

I drew some very happy medical professionals and they all enjoyed it!

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!

Marriage Proposal by Mini-caricature! Oh and also a 60th BD party, and an IG viral reel...

This event ended up being a major milestone, for quite a few folks!!!! The setting was a 60th birthday bash for the proprietor of a motorcycle repair shop, so the festivities were held on his premises under the expert planning of his wife. A few days prior, she emailed me to request that when her son sat down with his girlfriend for a caricature, I add "Will you marry me?" to the drawing...

So of course I said yes, and waited nervously til THEY sat for me...

To make it a little more challenging, I was doing 5 x 5 MINI-caricatures!!!

And SHE said YES!!!! Here's the caricature/proposal reaction on my Instagram...so adorably confused!!!

So... a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime moment for this couple is the first BIG THING.

The SECOND is...I put my footage of it all on my Instagram, and it went viral--

it has had the MOST likes, comments, shares, and views of ANYTHING I have ever put up!! 

Every time I open IG, it has more! 

The THIRD big thing is...his dad had a 60th birthday and there were SO many people there to celebrate it with him, and then it became his son's engagement party too...and everybody from both families got to witness such a special moment....BROUGHT TO YOU BY CARICATURE. :-)

Here's my other Reels from this very happy day: Reel1.  Reel2.   Reel3. 

This is the 60th BD boy and his very relieved wife (because she managed everything perfectly!)

Here's my spot:

Almost all the male guests had EPIC BEARDS:

Thanks again to my lovely client for having me!!!!!! And keeping me on longer too!
