Celebration-of-life caricatures

 It was an honor to be a part of this event! The party had been requested by a beloved gentleman who passed away last autumn...to be held a few months after his death so his family and friends could enjoy a festive, happy day! Luckily, the extremely breezy and volatile winds did not deter the guests (or the tent!)

I was booked for the beginning hours of the party (because I was booked elsewhere in the evening)  and another artist handled the later portion. But I  drew a good number of folks, who came from all over the USA, and this couple came all the way from France!

I drew the absent guest of honor from a photo:

...and then I made my goodbyes and headed to Round 2 for the day. 

Thank you for having me at Robertpalooza!

Easter caricatures at company party

This giant distribution facility had an after-Easter party for kids of employees...lots of fun was had by all!

The Bash facilitated this one, and my wonderful client had this to say soon after: 

"Emily was truly amazing!! Everyone that attended the event loved their caricatures. The hostess loved it so much she is planning on having her for her niece's Sweet 15!!"

First post-prom of 2024...boardwalk caricatures!

This Delaware charter high school is always a pleasure to return to every year for their after-prom, This year the theme was BOARDWALK...

I have no idea what "goat yoga" is!!!!

Thanks for having me!!

Surprise 40th Birthday caricatures!

This surprise 40th birthday party was so fabulous...the wife had everyone standing outside their home, cheering when the husband came home from golfing!

 

A food truck was ready and waiting!

And so was the caricature artist. I was set up in the family room, in view of the tv---which was tuned to the Phillies 2024 Opening day game.....deja vu, I was drawing there exactly twenty years ago!

And so here's where I was twenty years later: ( even on very similar chairs!

Here's a few of the guests:

Finally, here are the happy birthday boy and his wife. After receiving his caricature 

(IG REACTION HERE!)

he was roasted by his wife and some others while I was packing up. Hilarious!

Thanks for having me!

1st birthday baby caricature! in a Mercedes!

 And it's not caricatures (plural) because I was so busy drawing dozens of little-kid guests, that I only got a few photos of the birthday girl at her pastel-Disneyfied party. Her mom did a great job with sourcing beautiful cookies, balloons, a face painter, a pink bounce house and my caricatures (which came via The Bash)!

When I saw the miniature Mercedes right on front of me of course I had to draw Baby Girl in it!

Thank you for having me and happy 1st birthday Iyla!

Gala Fundraiser Caricatures in the Crystal Tea Room

 I hadn't been in this building since I was a child in the 1970's.....when my class went to see the Christmas display here after visiting the Franklin Institute. 

And I had never been to its flagship restaurant on the 9th floor...til Thursday, when I arrived to draw caricatures at a 1000-guest gala fundraiser event. The law firm of Zarwin Baum was raising funds for Philabundance at a huge March Madness cocktail party, and it was so much fun!

Spot the artist!!

They certainly had my favorite Philly vice for sustenance!!

Thank you for having me!
