Figure Caricaturing

July 20th, 2010

Oooh. I just came across this picture. I wonder where the others are.
I had drawn it almost a year ago when an artist from Korea had visited NYC. I wanted to show Spring Lee around, so I took her to Michael Alan’s Draw-a-thon.

The draw-a-thon is pretty neat. Amorphic shapes, slowly undulating poses….. But Spring Lee wanted to stay in the slower room - with Loooong poses. So I had plenty of time to create this piiiiicture:

The Clown’s Coloring Book

March 15th, 2010

Yeow - A woman called me about a Coloring Book this week - just a regular party-prop based on the Party-Girl. I wanted to send her to see a Coloring Book that I created as a business ‘advertisement’ recently - but I couldn’t find the post. Is it possible that I hadn’t posted it?

Well, here’s a sample of it now - some of the pages. It’s a lot of work to make a Coloring Book, but it’s so worth it. Since my childhood was Coloroing Book, it was so much a part of me, I’m excited to think of the kids who would be carelessly taking for-granted the ones that I create for them. So much a part of their lives, and they probably won’t even realize it.

Valentine’s Day

February 21st, 2010

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:

Response to Gift Caricature

February 20th, 2010

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:
