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:

College Girls

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.
