Ready For Con

The first week in November is the National Caricature Network National Convention. This year, my first year as a member of the NCN, I am going! Here is one of the members of the NCN, maybe i will meet next week. It is in Raliegh North Carolina and I can't wait. Caricature artist Chip Mock of State College said if I go "It will change your life".

Weekend

I have not done a "weekend update" kind of post in a while, but had a pretty good time this week. Thursday I was at Ronnies's Place for the Thursday Night Karaoke. I had the pleasure of hearing a man sing I use to work with in State College. I use to run sound at a couple of places, the Crowbar, now the Cell Block, and the Saloon, Still the Saloon. One of the bands i worked with was Code Blue, a blues band that I enjoyed. The singer was and i believe still is Robo Vaughn. Thursday, Robo had dinner and sang several songs I remember him singing with Code Blue.
Friday night it was a packed night at the Mount Union V.F.W. I am back at the Vets every Friday. I think this was my third or forth week back since a summer break. I was a little worried about getting a crowd back after taking the summer off. This week was excellent. At the end of this month, Friday the 31st the Vets is planning a giant Halloween Party. A scary Scaraoke dance party. You can get tickets in advance for the party and then become eligible for some cool door prizes or you can just show up that night. A costume is not required but encouraged.
Saturday evening and night I spent with the Class of Juniata Valley from 1993. While there I did a few caricatures. When I did them, they did not know I was doing them and kinda did them as a surprise. They are the caricatures you see through this post.
I am on the countdown to the National Caricature Networks annual convention. It will be the first one I have ever attended and i am excited to think of what I will be able to learn there.

A Couple Caricatures

Here a re a few caricatures i have been working on. One of Barney Frank, politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives. He has been in the news a fair amount lately so I thought it was a good time to try a caricature of him.
The next caricature is of a friend i have known for at least 20 years. A true fan of rock and.....roll. Andy.
The third is of Sidney Crosby. I for the first time in my life caught the season opener of the Pittsburgh Penguins. No, I was not at the game i saw it on tv and thought, why not do a caricature. Funny how i think that a lot. Hope you like.
