Caricature Express

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:

(Quote)”I wanted to thank you again for the gift caricature. My parents loved it and were practically in tears. You helped to make their anniversary very special and memorable.” (EndQuote)

Near the end of a recent party,
where I was drawing really well,
my camera just
froze up.
Aghk.

When I found out that my camera wasn’t working, the guest that I was drawing offered his phone for a photo - and he emailed it right over to me. Wow - so capable. And so fine.

This one I did
standing up.
With limited old dried out markers.
a Quick Cac.

Actually, I was just trying to quickly try out the new Walk-Around Drawing Board that I just designed - Always trying to perfect’ my materials - make them as comfortable as possible. So I just grabbed any ol’ markers that were laying around here.

I am much more comfortable - yes, things just keep getting better and better.
But I still don’t fuss carefully over a picture done standing. It just doesn’t feel
the same as drawing while sitting. Just like neither of those approaches feel the
same as drawing vertically on an easel.

Walk-around is fine for Party Entertainment.
Even though I still prefer sitting for the Artwork.
Parties each have their own personality, and the
Entertainer has to do what the Party needs.

It’s all good.

This one was quick and easy for me.
Although sometimes I’m studying,
most of the time I’m just having fun.

Let’s get real.
Art is supposed to be for Fun.

This picture was Sooo hard for me. To stick to my original idea of
scrunching up one side of the face as in the last photo. But I didn’t give up.

The vision - what I want to draw - that’s the art - that’s the part that some people fake - never even knowing what to see - how to see it. And then, even if they could imagine it, not pushing themselves to draw that vision. But I have drive. I’m really interested. For myself. I want to be inspired - I want to find my own ideas. And I want to figure out how to bring them to fruition. Even if other (plainer) pictures would be passable since nobody else knows an Artist’s visions. They don’t know what’s inside us, or if there even Is anything there.

Without that, the Artist is just a sham.

Just like nobody else really knows what we think - what we feel. Unless we choose to admit our truths. To be true to ourselves. Our feelings. Our desires. Our visions.

Sometimes it’s harder than other times. Sometimes we don’t feel inspired.
Sometimes we don’t know how to express that appropriately (visually when
I’m working as an Artist). But without it, Life is Just Work.

I choose to really live the full life - to take advantage of all the time I have -
to do it Now - this very moment.
