Welcome

Thanks for checking out my work. I appreciate the kind words shared by people visiting this site and try to post new caricatures every week.
I have been drawing all my life, but in 2008 I found the International Society of Caricature Artists
and fell in love with caricatures. I work everyday to improve and hopefully you can see improvements from my first posts here on this blog.
Within the last months (as of August 09) I have stated working on commissions for private parties and corporations. I hope to continue to grow and produce works of art for magazines and other publications.
If your interested, please contact me.
I also do dj and karaoke work. You can also find me on facebook.

Two Weddings and Caricature


First another sketch of one of the members of the National Caricature Network. Name with held to protect the innocent. HA!
So this weekend I had a pretty busy schedule. Wednesday I was at karaoke at memories. DJ Skiddy always has a good time and I enjoy listening to the people sing.......most of them..hahah. Ok so anyhow, I did a few caricatures there, this time breaking from the pencil and using the dreaded marker. I am still not comfortable with the marker, but it is getting better. I didn't have my camera with me, so I don't have pictures.
Thursday Ronnie's place for karaoke. We have a steady crowd consistant singers and hope it grows. I didn't know it and maybe you didn't, but Ronnie's Place has a web site. http://ronniesplace.biz/ They have a schedule of entertainment and their delicious menu.
Friday it was back to the Mount Union Vets. A good crowd and a lot of great singers. I always look forward to a Friday night at the Vets. I will be back there this Friday.

Saturday the day started early. My friend Hoffy agreed to do a wedding reception for me, since i was already booked at the Chris Lawler wedding. Hoffy's started at noon, so after a few hours of sleep Hoffy showed up to get the dj equipment. he was off and on his way about 11. I put stuff together and headed to the Huntingdon Country Club to set up for my wedding job. After that back home for a power nap, then back to the country club for the reception that started around 5. Just as the guests started to arrive, a big thunderstorm rolled through. The wedding party showed p and I think everyone got wet.
I sat with my sketchbook and did a few quick caricatures.
A woman, who i should know her name but don't, ask me to do one of her. I did, was not happy and tried two more times. I still wasn't happy with any of my results, but she was so i gave her the caricature of her choice. I also ask to take a photo so i could try to work out my problem, of not being able to get her caricature correct. She agreed and i did a sketch this morning. It is posted here for you and her to see.

Sunday i went to a great movie. In my opinion it was great. It is called The Forbidden Kingdom. Jacki Chan and Jet Li. I loved it, but then again I love the martial arts films.
That's all for now. I will get photos from the wedding up in the next day or two.
Thanks for reading
