A Slew of Recent Caricature Gigs!

Been doing lots of cartoon portraits in the past couple of months. December tends to be a busy month anyway with all the Christmas parties. I'm definitely getting faster and people seem to really enjoy the final products! Here's a few samples from several of the gigs I've done lately, from Nintendo and Amazon parties to Tacoma's First Night festivities to much smaller and more intimate affairs like birthday gatherings and a Christmas High Tea!

















I should probably stop there. There isn't space to put all the pics from all the gigs. In fact, I probably overloaded this page as it is! I really love doing this work and I just want to get better and faster and get more well known so I can do more!

Sorry I haven't posted anything on here in a while. I'm going to follow up this post with a bunch of samples from recent caricature gigs...BUT FIRST:

I got to meet Kevin Smith! He came to a small local comic book store in Tacoma (Destiny City Comics) and signed pics and comics and dvds for quite a few fans that flocked in to spend a few moments in the presence! Seriously cool and fun dude! I love several of his movies and have problems with a few (like "Tusk"...yikes!), but his "An Evening With Kevin Smith" events are amazing! I don't know whether to call them concerts or lectures or stand-ups or what. He just tells stories about his life as a filmmaker and celebrity and they are hysterical!

Anyway, I went with my friend Chris (it was his birthday) and we waited about an hour in line and I finally got to shake hands with the genius who made "Dogma", on the second anniversary of the death of Alan Rickman, no less (who starred in Dogma). It was a weird and wonderful day, for many reasons. But as always, when I see Kevin Smith, I'm given hope for what a bearded, chubby guy can accomplish in this world!



Here's Kevin and my friend Chris!
