Event Caricatures from February 2, 2008

This past Saturday night I drew to raise funds for the High School Drama program that my daughter is part of.
They're presenting "Singin' in the Rain!!!" starting February 29. Info @ Liberty Playmakers.



The main gist of the event was a fundraiser for the choral program. So some of the subjects really hammed it up!

Fresh Ink from this morning.

I occasionally attend a friday morning figure drawing session in Livermore.
This morning there were a lot of familiar faces. Some who hadn't been there in quite awhile.
Some of the artists have been drawing figures in the tri-valley here and there since the late '80's.

Event Caricatures from January 27, 2008

Yesterday I drew for promotional purposes at a Party & Wedding Faire in San Ramon.
Here's a few of the images.



This couple told me they had a bunch of black & whites drawn by me of their friends and family at the Farmers Market out in Brentwood a few years back. They said they were hanging on the walls at home. Cool!
