Caricature Express

Working in the industry, you can imagine that I go to a lot of Parties.
Including a lot of Surprise Parties. But this one was a First. I was amazed.
THE GUEST OF HONOR WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN THE GUESTS AND I ARRIVED.
HE WAS UPSTAIRS SLEEPING - BECAUSE HE HAD WORKED A LONG DAY.
That simple. No need to take him out while we set up. Nothing like that.
I think his kids had told him to come downstairs, or something like that.
He just walked down the stairs
of his own house
and was surprised to see a houseful of Guests and Party Set-Up.
I never saw anything like it.

It was a fun night. I was set up real comfortably in the Living Room.
Plenty of Light. Such wonderful, happy people…..

Here are photos of some of the Caricatures that I drew:

Here are some more pictures from the event that I started showing here
on December 31, 2009. I draw them so quickly at events - give them away
of course. I love when I get a chance to go through my photos - to see what I’ve drawn.
Yeah - That’s goooooood.

Looks like I was drawing quite tamely (for me) the night I drew at this University. These girls were much fun. You can tell a lot about a person by how they take a funny exaggeration. Most of them were game to see whatever I was going to come up with. Still, I can easily see where some of them had requested that I hold back on the exaggerations.

I really enjoy getting in to the drawing - Art is for Fun.
But I’m more interested in making people happy.
They usually love the big exaggerations - the excitement of not knowing what they’re going to see - having something Different happen -
that’s one of the things that makes a party different than ‘regular day’.
Still, if they are afraid to play, they’re so relieved if I accommodate their request to draw a simple picture.

I just want to make people happy.

Well - It seems like the only way to Get indoors
is to first go Outdoors to get there.
Yeow - there’s been a steady snow coming down all morning,
and I have to drive to a Party from Long Island to New Rochelle
this morning. I’m going to go out to shovel so I can leave right away.
I never arrive late to a gig.

So many places to get Indoors this Winter.
I think scarves are the new fashion.
I wanted to post some pictures from some of those Winter Events,
but this is all I’ll have time for just now.
These pictures come from a batch I drew at a recent Community Event.
