An exuberant 70th Birthday party...with my caricatures!

 This lady came in DANCING, to her surprise 70th birthday party, which was masterminded by her party-planner granddaughter. I actually drew her caricature (her body, anyway) from one of the photos I took when she came in!  (Had a good seat!)

SURPRISE!!!!!!!

And I was right there across from the door:

I couldn't BELIEVE she was 70.

So here is a close up of the caricature...and below is her reaction when her granddaughter showed her, on the dance floor, of course!

Here are some of the guests' caricatures:

It went so well I was asked to stay an extra half hour, thank you, Brielle!

This was the 2nd gig of 2020, but the first to use my brand-new rubber stamp on my papers. 

Starting 2020 with a caricature gig--an 80th birthday celebration!

This gentleman had family come from all parts of the country, to help celebrate his 80th birthday on New Year's Day 2020! 

It was held at the beautiful DuPont Country Club near Wilmington, Delaware on a crisp winter's day, the Christmas tree still up in the dining room.

I drew singles, couples and family groups, and kept busy for four hours!

My client, the birthday gentleman's daughter, found me on Gigmasters which is now known as TheBash.com. She was kind enough to leave me a wonderful review, the day after! Thank you Liz!

Christmas Day Caricatures at the Sixers game!

There hasn't been a Sixers home game on Christmas Day for 31 years...til this year! They went all out for the fans, lots of extra-fun stuff including my caricatures!

The halls were decked...

the signs were up:

and my markers were busy!

The two couples I photographed had special reasons for a caricature!

On the left, visitors from New Zealand who got engaged on their trip here (not at the game though)

and on the right, a couple who recently moved here and decided a Christmas Day outing to the game would be fun!

I got just a GLIMPSE of Santa as he was rushed by:

...and I posed next to some balloons before heading out to my own Christmas dinner with family. What a great Dec 25 this year!

Thanks to all my caricature and silhouette clients for making 2019 such a memorable year!

Corporate Holiday Party...caricatures in a bowling alley

Not just ANY bowling alley, but one that's an awesomely renovated party space in a former tomato-sauce packaging factory! I've done quite a few gigs here now and every one is super-fun! Here's my spot...

and here's the view behind me, with my fellow caricaturist Julie B at work with her sitters...

This couple won (in my book) for best dressed!!

Here's a few more.

Happy Holidays and thanks for having me!

Annual holiday party caricatures...

I do this party every year, so these two faces especially are old friends to me now!!

Others I am watching grow up!

In the background at this event, I always hear the magic show of Mystique the Magician, but I've never SEEN it ;-) he's over there somewhere....

A few more...

See you next December, folks!

Ski-themed holiday party Caricatures!!!

This home became a ski-lodge for the evening! I was set up at the dining room table.

Everybody wore appropriate dress!!!

...and this was very cool, the host and hostess asked everyone to bring household supplies to donate to charity. They got a haul!

Here are some of the caricatures...not all of them (some folks had left by the time I was done)

Happy Holidays! Let it SNOW!! (not..:)

Caricatures at a 70th birthday party for a lovely lady

She was surprised!!!! Her family picked a quaint old restaurant to get everyone together. She though she was going to someone else's party. 

She didn't notice me at first, I was in a far corner:

and I got very busy after her entrance!

Thanks for having me!!

Annual children's Christmas party caricatures...one of my fave gigs every year

Santa and his elves came in, and made a whole group of families happy...

and so did I with my caricatures...all of kids!

I draw many of these kids every year...and these two, below, are definitely some of my regulars. I've even used their caricatures (with permission) to advertise 'how I draw kids' to prospective clients. Wow!They are really growing up!!

Thanks to Stephen, who books me every year for this event!
