Caricature Express

I’m back. Been working all over lately. Glad to get back to the Theater District in Manhattan last night. I was drawing sketches at an event at the Marriott Marquis near 42nd Street. Always gotta be on my toes - this time the guests took it upon themselves to ‘Strike a Pose’ - I was taken by surprise, but I was able to flow with it. Ah yes - some people really know how to have Fun:

Oh where have I been??? I stomp these grounds regularly - just getting to my gigs. I had a job last night at the Marriott Marquis near Union Square. Got there early, ate at The Roxy…..

But on my way, I opened my eyes. Looked around. To Appreciate where I go. This is a great city!

Did you notice the Red Steps? I never noticed them before.

Yeow - turns out they’ve been here for over a Year! Have I been so focused on getting where I have to go that I missed them? Or is the city so full of interesting visions that this magnificent structure just blended in with all the others? Oh let’s dance!

What a surprise ~ A girl called me last week - could I draw a Studio Caricature for her for Valentine’s Day. She brought me the photos, delightful to work with, and I got to work.

When I was finished, I showed it to my friend. He recognized the girl ‘out of the air’. Who would have been thinking of the girl who does the Traffic Reporting for Channel 12 ~ But yes - he was right.

The Caricature - adorable, just as she is. It looks like they could become a box of Chocolates:

I love when Clients remember that I have a heart too - When they make the effort to let me know that my work was appreciated. I work real hard for this.

Look at the beautiful email that my client just sent about the Studio Caricature in the previous post. I’m smiling. I’m so glad:

“It’s my Parents’ Anniversary and…..”
This isn’t the first time I heard that. Here’s what I came up with (Client told me to leave off the glasses - she doesn’t always wear them):
