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!!!

Dang, its been a while since my last post, but I've got a new deal that should keep me posting for a long time. I'm a bit nervous to make this announcement but I've wanted to do this for a while now, and a freind said to go for it, SO..... As of today I'll be posting a caricature of a celebrity, either star or political everyday for the next 356 days, one whole year YIKES! Each will take from 5 minutes to all day depending on my time and desire. But it'll be fun I'm sure. Anyway, I don't know who is out there to see these but here it goes.
The first istallment is , well who else... The pop icon that had awesome music but became a caricature in the end.
See ya tomorrow!
