Shoes!
June 20th, 2011Oh ~ I’ve had these shoes here for quite a while. My client had had them made up for all her guests ~ from a Studio Caricature I had prepared for her. Oh ~ I’ve been looking at them since I got them. Finally have a day to wear them, and I’m so happy:
Ooops - I guess I should have photographed the shoes BEFORE
I put my feet in’m:

Musician
April 26th, 2011This client hired me to create two pictures from one Caricature.
One was to show him with playing cards and money.
The other was to show him with musical notes.
Lol - I laugh now as I remember how focused I felt while I decided
that I had to take my time and shade with dots. Each little dot.

March 18th, 20112 a.m. - I’m emailing pictures to my Power-Point client.
9 a.m. - Ring, ring -
me: Good Morning
client: “fantastic job. listen, because of snowdates, I have another day before the presentation. Can you do another picture?”
me, thinking that I have a 1:30 appointment at the spa, and a 3:30 appointment with my trainer, and I’m on to cook dinner for company tonight….: “Sure. What do you have in mind?”
client: “one face leaning forward on muscular arms……”
My client is UP. Talking faaaast.
Snap snap, so many ideas…… “Good Morning……”
We hang up, I go to wake up, morning routine…..
Luckily I didn’t start the picture yet, when,
Ring, ring - “Hi! What’s up?”
client: “Could we make that a 2-person Caricature? The first guy leaning over a brick wall. He’s in the U.S. - talking to our associate in the U.K - You’d have the Atlantic Ocean in there, and a phone in his hand
…………………
…………………….
…………………….”
then later, middle of the night - I draw the picture first in pencil, then in marker.
While erasing the pencil for this upbeat picture,
I flip on a movie - Ahhhh “Escape From Alcatraz”.
Point, Counterpoint.
Crazy day, Wild night, and I’m just sitting here alone.
It’s a good life:
Update: Aaaahhh, it’s all worth it. Here’s the email that I woke up to today:
“Alison, I want to thank you for an extraordinary job. My presentation went brilliantly and your slides were gut busters. That you so much for your professionalism and talent.”
Me: Smiling

Happy Customer
February 2nd, 2011I really appreciate my clients. They make me feel so appreciated - giving me tips at their parties, calling with sincere appreciation….
This lovely woman made the effort to photograph the Studio Caricature I had mailed to her. The photo came out a little blurry, but I was still so happy to get it. They seem more ‘alive’ to me, somehow. Makes me feel like I’m really part
of their joy with the little part I can play. My client emailed me this photo and
wrote “He luved it. Thanx Alison!”
