Nurses Week Caricatures!

 Nurses don't always get the appreciation they should,  so when Nurses Week rolls around I am always happy to give them a moment of delight! This was in an oncology ward of my local hospital, I had a steady stream of faces to draw while they took their breaks. :-)

Thanks for having me!!!

Western-themed post-prom caricatures

I found my cowgirl hat to wear for this late-night gig, which I worked with my crazy colleagues

Patrick and John...

Despite the late hours (this one was 12 am-3 am) (and I had worked another party, earlier the same evening) I really love the vibe of after proms!

This girl said OH NO when she saw it while her boyfriend cracked up!

Fun times in DELCO :-)

Skyscraper Caricatures!

 This surprise 70th birthday party was held in an intimate dining room inside the Four Seasons Hotel, at the top of one of the two Comcast towers in Center City Phiadelphia. Whoa what a view!!!!!!

The event room overlooked the Schuykill River, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the north-western part of the city. 

But I did get to walk around the other side and see that view too!

 

Somewhere behind me Taylor Swift was getting ready to perform that night at the Eagles stadium, so I actually arrived pretty early  for my own performance! 

So, here was my set-up...

And here are a few caricatures! 

The birthday girl was so surprised!

Happy b-day and thanks for having me!

Dinosaur-themed 5th Birthday caricatures!

Such an adorable party space, the decor was so on point!

Drew dinosaurs on every caricature! :-D

especially the birthday boy's!

This event came to me through another birthday party I did, thanks so much for the repeat business!

Wonderful outdoor wedding close to home!

Finally, a beautiful-weather evening arrived for this week's wonderful bride and groom! 

They opted to have me do a pre-wedding caricature sign-in, and they included their little boy in it!

Wedding color was light blue, I think it looks so sweet!

 

The venue was Bellevue Hall, which is not far from where I live... that drive home was easy! I've done several wedding receptions there now, and the staff was great!

Below, you can see folks signing the mat for the bride and groom, during the cocktail hour!

 I am definitely biased, but I think this is WAY better than a guest book you put away and forget about...

I wore my fascinator because it is perfect for weddings (it was also the same day as the Kentucky Derby AND the coronation of King Charles III!)

So here are some guest caricatures!

After cocktail hour, we all moved to a gorgeous tent on the manicured grounds...from here:

...to here!

After a break during which the bride and groom did their entrances, first dances and heard their toasts,

I started up again and it was fab! The groom even asked me to keep going til the end of the reception, as the guests were "loving it", as he said. Thank you so much! :-)

Here are a few more...you can see the evening coming in!

What a fabulous evening, and congrats to Vinny and Caitie!
