Happy Customer

February 2nd, 2011

I 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!”

Tame? Maybe. Maybe Not.

This was a fun Studio Caricature. If you heard the client’s instructions, you’d understand how I really did everything she wanted….

almost overnight. Picture was ordered at the last minute. She wanted it done right away. I prefer at least one week per face for Studio work, but if the customer doesn’t allow…..

This one, rush-order, but so pleasant. It just flowed right out of me:

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.

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:
