Caricature Express

Oh - the synchronicity of…..
How do you spell that?
Even though I tried to check at http://thesaurus.com/
(another word to s p e l l ),
I still have no idea.
Does spelling count?

Anyway, I was impressed with it today. Serendipity.
Because I had randomly opened a folder to find some of my Samples
to post here, and I came up with these pictures from a Corporate Event
where I had been asked to draw Black and White pictures.
I usually work in Color, but I was also hired to draw Black and White Caricatures at a University
tonight. This very night. It’s good for me to see them - as a Warm-Up for tonight’s event (which will be the Sam Gennaro Event - a yearly Celebration about Italians).

This is what I like to call Black and White Caricatures.
Still uses a bit of Color. But in this case, the Color makes the pictures get finished faster -
which is what these Clients were looking for - to get more faces drawn during the hours that we had arranged:

Nice and comfortable. This client had a Child’s Party in her backyard. I was on a comfortable, closed in porch. There was a bouncy-house outside. My pictures were hung all together on a clothes-line until the guests were ready to leave:

Sometimes I really feel like I’m invited to join right in to a close group of friends and family.

Did you know that I’m also a Face-Painter?
I did a Face-Painting event hosted by Christie Brinkley today. It reminded me of the section of this Caricature blog in which I tell you about the Celebrities I work for. I caught this one, and it reminded me that I think I forgot to mention - and it was over a year ago that I worked for him - that I had drawn Caricatures at an event hosted by Montel Williams also. I try to remember to blog, but so much is always going on.

Still, I consider myself quite fortunate that my Artwork brings me in person to some people who seem Larger than Life - brings me into situations in which I can meet, (even if only briefly), the SuperStars. I am impressed that they really are Super Stars for a reason. There really is a
Quality
something
about them that feels impressive. Even though both Christie Brinkley and Montel Williams were very comfortable people.

Why I was reminded of the Montel Williams event was because they were both Celebrities, and they were both Fundraising Events. Made me feel like the Big People have Big Hearts. They get involved in important causes. And it made me realize that I too could be a ‘Big Person’. I could behave that way too. I was paid to be at both events, but sometimes I can choose to donate my time, services, supplies. My life could have meaning like a Super Star’s life. This is what we can do.

The event I handled today was a Fundraiser to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. It was setting up for the big day on Sunday - culminating in Ellen’s Run for the Ellen P Hermanson Foundation.
