March 18th, 20112 a.m. - I’m emailing pictures to my Power-Point client.
9 a.m. - Ring, ring -
me: Good Morning
client: “fantastic job. listen, because of snowdates, I have another day before the presentation. Can you do another picture?”
me, thinking that I have a 1:30 appointment at the spa, and a 3:30 appointment with my trainer, and I’m on to cook dinner for company tonight….: “Sure. What do you have in mind?”
client: “one face leaning forward on muscular arms……”
My client is UP. Talking faaaast.
Snap snap, so many ideas…… “Good Morning……”
We hang up, I go to wake up, morning routine…..
Luckily I didn’t start the picture yet, when,
Ring, ring - “Hi! What’s up?”
client: “Could we make that a 2-person Caricature? The first guy leaning over a brick wall. He’s in the U.S. - talking to our associate in the U.K - You’d have the Atlantic Ocean in there, and a phone in his hand
…………………
…………………….
…………………….”
then later, middle of the night - I draw the picture first in pencil, then in marker.
While erasing the pencil for this upbeat picture,
I flip on a movie - Ahhhh “Escape From Alcatraz”.
Point, Counterpoint.
Crazy day, Wild night, and I’m just sitting here alone.
It’s a good life:
Update: Aaaahhh, it’s all worth it. Here’s the email that I woke up to today:
“Alison, I want to thank you for an extraordinary job. My presentation went brilliantly and your slides were gut busters. That you so much for your professionalism and talent.”
Me: Smiling

Happy Customer
February 2nd, 2011I 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.
February 1st, 2011This 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:

Response to Gift Caricature
February 20th, 2010I 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)
