Boot Barn Grand Opening Silhouettes!

 Well, January gigs are always subject to the whims of winter weather; it so happens that a big snowstorm that dropped six inches of show in my area...(and the first appreciable snow around here in two years!) showed up on Friday afternoon,  just as I was supposed to be cutting silhouettes at this Grand Opening. 

I didn't get there, and neither did pretty much anyone else...even though the store had a skeleton crew working, in case any shoppers DID show up! Luckily, my client was fine with me extending my time on Saturday and Sunday's sessions, which were probably busier after the snow! Yay!

Everyone was delighted as usual, to get an unexpected surprise in the form of a silhouette portrait. I cut dozens of them on both days and met some really nice folks, along with my fellow entertainers

Rad and Kell, Kendal Conrad  Bubbles and Brews Philly and WMGK!

Here are some images from both days, at Boot Barn North Wales. 

I even did a few dogs from photos!

Thanks for having me Elizabeth!

Prom-themed 10th Birthday party, on a winter's day!

This gorgeous child and forty-five of her closest friends partied it up to celebrate her 10th birthday in style! Because there were so many kids all eager to get a caricature, I went to speed mode: line drawings only. Here are a few:

The party was held in a fave venue of mine, Timothy's of Newark

I had just enough time to squeeze in two adults at the end..then skedaddle before some light snow arrived!

Thanks for having me! :-)

Intimate-Winter-Wedding Caricatures

 This little 2024 wedding and reception was held in a cozy Mediterranean restaurant on a winter Sunday evening--I had a good view of the ceremony!

The bride had an absolutely LOVELY long-sleeved dress, it was fun to draw!

Here's my IG link to their reaction. :-)

Thank you for having me!

First gig of 2024: a 60th birthday party with royal blue caricatures!

 Well, the THEME was royal blue and silver! This venue was beautifully decorated! 

But the birthday girl was even more beautiful...here she is with her caricature:

(She had booked me after seeing me draw at a party she attended last spring. )

The weather forecast that evening was for a BIG storm, with snow in many places...but luckily, I was heading for an area which saw only rain. So, everybody was able to show up! I drew non-stop and was even asked to stay longer. :-) Here are a few!

And here's an assortment on my table, where folks came by later to retrieve as they left. 

Happy birthday Nina, and thank you!

NYE caricatures at 55+ community, last gig of 2023!

My final event of 2023 was a NYE party, for which my client graciously invited my husband to attend so we could celebrate midnight together. Thank you!!

Here are some happy seniors in this cozy lounge in their community. 

This little family (below) travelled from Romania to visit her grandmom!

Here's to 2024!
