Grand Opening caricatures..for a medical marijuana dispensary

I've drawn caricatures at Grand opening/open houses before, but not for this very new and needed type of facility! Everyone at Beyond/Hello was super enthusiastic. 
There was a long line waiting to get in. 
I drew folks in one of the consultation rooms and was very busy. :-)
Here's some of my output:




All my paper was branded so that everyone would think of Beyond/Hello when they look at theoir caricature. Thanks for having me!

Company holiday party caricatures in popular brewpub!

 This caricature reaction really made me happy!

I drew her at a small company holiday party held in a cool 
brewery/pub kind of place: Braeloch Brewpub in Kennett Square, PA. When I walked in, my attention was riveted on a HUGE Santa portrait they had hanging up! I just LOVE faces!
The holiday decor was up even though it was still early December.
The building was a beautifully refurbished 1903 brick warehouse. 
The vibe was very pleasant and I think they enjoyed being caricatured!!


THANK YOU! My client left me a great review on Gigsalad, which is how she booked me:

We used Emily for a corporate event and she wowed the crowd. She has a real talent for this and is very energetic and fun. Would definitely use her again.

Silhouettes at a Wilmington, Delaware wedding...


The University and Whist Club in Wilmington was the setting for  this couple's lovely wedding reception, which included my silhouettes!

I started out during the cocktail hour in the older part of the mansion:
...then moved, along with the guests, to a large elegant dining room...there were large screens for the guests to see everything up close!
My spot was right by the entrance so my sitters didn't miss a thing:
Since there was a very large number of guests, and it was non-stop busy, I hardly got any photos---but here are two:
His hair was amazing, how could I not get a photo of that!
It was fun for me to see the results of my flying scissors propped up on various tables. 
Thank you so much for having my silhouette artistry at your reception! ;-)
The venue liked my art so much, they invited me to be a part of their wedding fair in 2020.

Silhouettes by Emily at the 2020 Irish Festival


Yes, this is an Irish lass----whom I actually cut from memory, as I've seen this classic movie (and others of hers) enough times to know her profile by heart. She ended up being my sample silhouette this year. Do you know who she is?
Lots of green to be seen here! I love decorating my silhouette-cutting spot!



It It wasn't ALL scissor-cutting all the  time...I did eat and watch some Irish dancing!

Slan for now!

Retirement party Caricatures!

Here's the man of the hour with his wife! He danced right in, to the joy of all his guests, and that's how I drew him!
The venue was a refurbished old movie theater--I took this photo from the balcony, which used to be the projectionist's area. Can you spot my set-up?
Yup, just to the left of the guests of honor's table.
Lots of folks sat for me, here's a handful of them!

Thanks ever so much for having me!

Cape May NJ beach wedding caricatures!

Cape May is a gorgeous little Victorian town on the very tip of southern New Jersey. The main street is full of quaint little historic hotels, quite a few of which are perfect venues for beach weddings! This adorable couple included my caricatures in their celebrations, at the Peter Shields Inn.  



I loved the lavender color scheme!





Thanks for having me, Tara and Matt! :-)

More late-night Project Grad caricatures...

  I've always been a night owl. Late night gigs are enjoyable for me...and my subjects!




                                              Got home at 3:30 am...Goodnight!!!!!


Greek wedding caricatures!

One of swankiest venues for a wedding reception in the entire city of Philadelphia is the Ballroom at the Ben, in the Ben Franklin Hotel. So I wore my fanciest hat, to draw caricatures for the happy couple and their guests!
When I arrived, there was a dance performance going on, you can just see the bride and groom in front of the flower-bedecked wall:
The groom requested that I do my line-drawing-only caricatures, so as to be able to draw even more guests. Here is how they came out, to the delight of my sitters!
These two ladies were a hoot--they loved that I wrote BFF on their caricature!
