Well the main computers down again, looks like a bad hard drive, so its in the shop and there'll be no caricatures today and maybe tomorrow. Anyway have a good one ya'll

Hi Ya'll,

Just like last time at the fair i drew folks that walked by when there was a lull in activity. Some of these are just wishful thinking/doodling others came from real people.

YA Know!! It seems to me I haven't talked about my lunch ONCE in this whole blog! WELL, I have some suggestions for all you folks out there (all twelve of you) JERSEY MIKES!!! Awesome subs, give them a try. And of course the ROCK, firegrilled pizza lunch buffet, 10 bucks great deal!
That is all.......

Just finished the Puyallup Fair this sunday and man what a blur, I remember the first day and the last but its a blur inbetween. Great show for me though. And today I 'm at a wedding Tradeshow all day.There is usually alot of opportunities at these functions to increase biz. I hope that is the case today. This is a caricature I did for a couple of radio celebs in my towns market. I sent this to them but the bums never even said thanks for taking the time.

Got a call today from a rep for a golf tourney, that needed a Caricature of Ryan Stiles (Who's line is it anyway?) It's his tournament and the had a few folks fall down on the job before me getting this done. So we agreed on a price and I sent this to her about an hour later. I think it looks ok.

Thanks fer lookin'

heres a stallone I did a while back. See ya tomorrow.

Chris Rock

And thus it begineth again!! Heres the first installment. I hope you recognize him he was fun to draw. Draw time 17 minutes

OK I know... But it got real busy! BUT!! I will begin again, promise. Starting on Tuesday the 1st.

Anyway the reason, I 'm posting today is because I had the coolest gig in my carreer yesterday.
I was contacted by a client about a month ago to do a special gig for him. He wanted to hire me to draw he and his fiance', with her standing there and him on one knee proposing. I thought cool that will be fun because he had it planned that I would be outside the restaurant when they came out from lunch at 1:30. But I had just set up at 1:00 when a couple came out and the man looked like he wanted a caricature. Now I had only had contact with the client through email, so I asked their names as if thats what I always did and confirmed the this was the couple. I drew the girl in a snap and told not to look so she went around the side while I drew the guy. I did it the way he wanted and then began to turn it around as I coordinated with him and This guy was on it! He dropped down on one knee really fast with the ring ready while the girl looked at the caricature trying to absorb what she was seeing, And He asked her! The girl was caught completely off guard and was shaking but said yes! Ya know I'm an old curmugen but that moment made me catch my breath. It was the coolest thing I've every been apart of in my carreer. Awesome!!!

Heres one that alot of folks won't know unlest they are american football fans, this is Chris Mortensen, a football commetator. Strange choice huh, well the reason I did this one was because of having seen the caricature done of him thats on TV. Here it is

This what he really looks like

and here is mine. I wish I had gotten the call to do his pic. He has it plasted on the side of his travel bus and everything.
