Caricatures at a Grand Opening!

 This was my second time drawing at a Grand Opening for a new Beyond Hello Medical Marijuana Dispensary. The first time was pre-pandemic, and I mean it was one of my last few gigs in 2019, before we had any inkling of the big changes in our lives to come...

...but anyway, this was a fantastic, fun afternoon! I was right on the sidewalk out front...along with free ice cream sandwiches! This was a branded paper event, and I decided to go all marker for the shading. 

The masked ice cream server and the funny names:

The professional photographer took these photos below, and BH was nice enough to share them with me---thank you!

Wedding Brunch Caricatures...

 ...are kind of a new thing, to me anyway, as I've done two of these recently. The morning after the wedding, the family enjoys a tented brunch in the backyard, and a much less hectic atmosphere. Even got to draw a dog in a backpack at this one! Thanks for having me, and sending me home with shrimp-n'grits!

A very distinguished 70th birthday party, with caricatures!

 This beautiful woman was given a very elegant surprise birthday party by her family...but they opted for my caricatures as the entertainment ;-)

I know! I can barely believe she is 70, either!

The festivities were held in a nice hotel venue...

So many wonderful faces!!!!

I was hoping there would be some food left over when I finished drawing nearly everyone, and there was. Thanks to my client, and to Gigsalad for putting us together!

Silhouettes at a lovely boho-Victorian wedding reception

My silhouette scissors were wielded on a sultry late-summer night, for a fantastic and unique wedding reception, held in a historic Victorian home/wedding venue.  The bride and her wedding planner were wonderful to work with...we even had a Zoom meeting that week to firm up all the details. I was seated in a little "winter porch" off the living room (the reception encompassed the entire first floor, porch and side yard). They even thought to provide a wicker stand for a silhouette display area, for the guests to put their little treasures until it was time to take their leave.  I'll let my photos tell the story:

Thank you SO much, Brittany and Drew! And to The Bash for putting us together to make wonderful memories. :-)

Mauve-themed wedding caricatures at a gorgeous venue!

 Look at this gorgeous setting, thrilled couple and my color bride-and-groom caricature! :-)

Now for some caricatures!

What an adorable child! This caricature went over really well. :-)

The bride had this to say in an email I got this morning (her caps):

"Thank you! You are AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND VERY TALENTED! EVERYONE WAS SHOWING ME YOUR DRAWINGS!! IT WAS A BLAST. THANK YOU!!!!!!!"

Thanks for having me, Sarah and Joseph! 

Crabby company picnic caricatures!

 Yup, if it's crabby, it's Maryland. Thanks to The Nose Caricature Co. for hooking me up with this fun event! They sent me home with a box of just-cooked crabs---you should smell my car now! :-D
