Sparkly 40th Birthday Caricatures!

This birthday girl REALLY sparkled! So I'm glad I had a silver Sharpie pen with me! :-D

Her 40th birthday party was the second time I'd drawn caricatures for her family...the first was for her father's retirement party. Her mother definitely knows how to throw a fantastic party! 

Here are a few of my drawings:

Had a nice spot right near the bar...

..but it might be the last hurrah for this particular easel. It's an Ikea laptop table that my husband adapted for me, and it's lasted a few years... but the adjustable-height-leg part isn't adjustable any more.  Stay tuned here to see what I end up with for my next gig. :-)

Thanks to Sharon for booking me, and keeping me on longer to accommodate more guests! :-)

Gritty caricatures at Flyers game fundraiser day!

For the many years I've been drawing caricatures, oftentimes the clients are the major sports teams in Philly...the Eagles, (football) the Phillies, (baseball) and the Sixers (basketball). Well, I've drawn at home games and events in all their various venues...but somehow, I never, ever got to do a Philadelphia Flyers (ice hockey) game. That changed, on Saturday! The team was providing some free goodies for fans as part of a fundraiser for their charity, which benefits all sorts of worthy causes. 

It was a lot of fun drawing the crazy Flyers mascot 'Gritty' on ALL my caricatures---and folks really responded happily!
