New Home for my Blog!!!

2008-03-09T11:50:00.005-05:00

Hey everyone! I wanted to let you know I've migrated to a new server to host my blog. I'm not going to be posting anything new on Blogger anymore.

Instead, you can keep up to date with my lastest here at my new blog, "Ninny Notes":

http://blog.angiejordan.com

Thanks!!!!

Scott, the Blogger Writer!

2008-02-14T08:08:00.006-05:00

I put together ANOTHER "quick" sketch of Scott for him to display on his blog. Scott took up journalism (a major at one time), during his Penn State college years, and loves to write, so I decided to throw this together for a sorta Happy V-Day gift!

Of course, he can put whatever he wants on the paper.

If you click on Sullivan's blog to the right, you will be able to check out his site. However, I do not know when he will edit this image within his blog, but soon! :)

A Red Character!

2008-02-14T08:01:00.003-05:00

I scribbled out a fat character on paper this time, trying to work more with my mixed media.
It looks like he is wrapped in gauze. :)

Brushing up my Characters!

2008-02-13T09:36:00.004-05:00

I'm having such a busy week, but I am doing my best to keep up with my SS homework assignments. Here is "one" of my characters in the beginning developing stages.

Late night Event!

2008-02-09T11:36:00.000-05:00

Just a few photos here.

Another ...younger me?

2008-02-06T09:28:00.000-05:00

A brunette me!

I was doing research for Silver's class and I came across this photo of a girl, who really caught my eye! She looked so much like me in my younger years, but with darker features. I wish I had more of a straight on shot of my younger face to show, but this photo (at 24 yrs old) was all I could find to come close enough. I could not believe how this girl resembled me during my years at her age (late teens/20's).

Also, I find it uncanny that her one eye squints more than other, when she smiles, which my son makes fun about ME, when I do this in MY photos.

Her nose is exact...even the face structure and chin, lighter big eyes, dark arched eyebrows. Wow! I wonder if she is my long lost sister! :)

UPDATE: I found contact and name to the photo (Megan). I emailed her and she was delighted to hear from me, along with saying our similarities are quite eerie.

As we conversed back and forth, we found that both of our mothers have a dose of Welsh and English in our blood. Our differences are with the father's side, she is Hispanic and I am Italian/Lithuanian.

This stuff fascinates me and even when I draw live, I like to think about the nationality of the person I am drawing! Sometimes I guess on their nationality, and at times I am right on, but other times I like to question the person, so I can learn and study their anatomy features.

Happy Birthday Andrew!

2008-02-03T19:08:00.000-05:00

More Cousins!

2008-02-03T00:30:00.000-05:00

Color Paper and Pencils!

2008-01-31T09:03:00.000-05:00

I made a recent purchase of all types of assorted colored paper, pencils and more and tried a very distorted cartoon attempt on my son. This is far from being finished and I plan to dabble some more with media, but my goal is to experiment, trying mixed medias and such, along with creating funny cartoons.

Wish me luck, cuz I need it!

My cousin Cheezy JR!

2008-01-30T14:01:00.001-05:00

After sending him this by email, he told me I am out of his will! :)

Update: My Uncle is not doing too well (Docs told him 6 mos and it is going on 7) so I put his boys together in a drawing to bring him some laughter. He's a funny man himself, so I believe he is going to enjoy this one!

God bless you Uncle J! We love you!

Phun Philly Event!

2008-01-30T08:14:00.000-05:00

I started drawing heads, but later had requests for themes, so I thought, "What the heck - go for it!" I aim to please! :)

One issue about themes is I do not memorize any body situation or have any plan. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing, for I know many artists who practice with body situations. I prefer to conjure up the idea given to me, at the time, and hit the paper.

As you can see, golf was the "popular" theme for the evening, so I did several golf themes and went to town on different, fun ways to draw this theme with each of my guests. Mind you, I had to think and draw fast, so I had very little time to think about proper body structure and balance. I believe I need to work a little more on this, as well as my distance scenes, (mountains/lakes/trees, etc).

For now, I'm content on what I can do at a fast pace when drawing caricatures live.
Also, I need to make sure the photo taken is not "blurry!"

Dr Jeckyl/Mr Hyde

2008-01-28T09:04:00.000-05:00

My second week with Silver was to design a Dr J & H of your own. I chose to create a 1960 Ivy League Student that transforms into a slovenly obese ale lover! :)

I actually learned something new this week with Silver's 2nd assignment and received my personal critique on my Fat Joe design from Steve. The critique that I received was exactly what I expected of my work, too.

Even though criticism is hard to take for some, doesn't it make one try so much harder? It does me!

I am only finished with my second week with Silver at Schoolism and I highly recommend anyone willing to learn character design to take this course. It is really worth it!

January Events

2008-01-27T14:22:00.000-05:00

Unfortunately, my son took my new camera to see a famous comedian and left me with my old HP camera. Little did I know that the batteries would run out after taken 3 photos. Bummer! Yet, I felt a little more creative once I warmed up.
Many were laughing "with" me at this event.

Hi Ho Silver...Away!

2008-01-22T09:25:00.000-05:00

I am now in my second week course with the famous cartoonist, Steven Silver's Character Design Class(again, a LOVELY gift from my husband) and I am really excited and anticipate his weekly assignments, and video classes.
I am a huge, HUGE fan of his style, technique and great character design skills.

If interested, click on the word Schoolism to the right of this blog to see more.

Above is a few rough samples of my character layout of Fat Joe from first week course.

Update: I added my final color Joe. We did not have to finish him in color, but I did.

The Donut Man!

2008-01-21T15:15:00.000-05:00

Sigh! My husband loves his pastries that he is turning into one.
He goes nuts for donuts!
I've GOT to get him to the gym!

Birthday/Rollerskating Event!

2008-01-21T07:56:00.000-05:00

I tried a whole new set-up at this event. I spent much time mixing, creating and stewing my own colors (along with a touch of Angie's ancient-chinese-secret ingredient) throughout last week and wanted to try them out at this event. (Thanks Jan) I succeeded and I will be using these colors from now on (much easier use than the art stix).

Also, I used a different table/easel, in which I would not bring this to every event, but possibly a few in my future, since it does not fold into my carrying case. It does, however, fit in back my car perfectly and rolls on wheels. I do prefer this table over any of my other easels, because of the perfect height and table access for my art supplies, so you just might see me rolling it into an event in my future, especially for outdoor events.:)

Awe... rollerskating! I used to be such a big skating buff, so I was itching to throw down my markers and put on some skates and take off to the floor. In my younger years, my father or mother would drop off my 3 brothers and I to skate every week, so as I continued to go to the big ring every week, I use to love trying all sorts of skating stunts, (jumps, jumps with turns, along with skating backwards). When you have 3 brothers very close in age, you either learn to be a stunt person or you will be thrown into it eventually.:)

During this event, one guy working the floor entered the party room to watch my drawing performance, and announced to everyone that he remembered me from 10+ years ago when I use to skate all the time. I was surprised to see him at same job and location, after all these years, and that he even remembered me. He informed me that many of my cousins attend with their kids today.

This was a really nice and easy going party! Thanks Cheyenne and Chey's mom! :)

Monkeying around!

2008-01-20T11:39:00.000-05:00

I created my own monkey for a small fun project.

Art Show Event!

2008-01-16T22:04:00.000-05:00

Sorry, the one photo happen to cut off the child's face. It sure would have been quite a chuckle, if you were to see his teeth appearing in top of photo, huh?

FYI: I like to take a few photos of my work to study where I need to improve and how much I have improved. I aim to keep growing with my art.

Quick Digi Cartoons of HS Girls!

2008-01-15T10:57:00.000-05:00

Time to Celebrate!

2008-01-14T08:46:00.000-05:00

Woo hoo! My class starts today!
The best Christmas present my husband could have ever given me! :)

Ron Paul

2008-01-13T23:02:00.000-05:00

A very quick 90 second scribble of Ron Paul during the debate.

My Son and his GPS

2008-01-10T12:38:00.001-05:00

My son asked me to draw a funny cartoon with his GPS, so I did this last night.
He plays with it so much that he swerves a bit on the road.
You should see this on his Myspace (link is to the right) soon.

Theatre and Broadway!

2008-01-10T07:31:00.000-05:00

Scott and I received a Secret Santa gift for one night stay in Philly to see "Les Miserables." I once was a theatre major in college and enjoy broadway shows, so I am looking forward to this day!
I made this for a quick thank you card for the Santa's involved, and thought I'd add the popcorn for a small joke!

Wine and Wither!

2008-01-07T22:17:00.000-05:00

From the plane back to the US, I dabbled out a few celebs from a mag (bottom) and decided to digitize one (Winehouse) tonight. I'm sorry to say that I'm not very fond of her voice tone and style. I never did lean towards the hoarsey voice style singing of Macy Grace, either, and find the two singers are very similar. But that's just me. *grin*
I lean towards the sweet & pure strong voices of singers like McLachlan, McBride, Brightman, along with the top soul singers, Aguilera, Aretha, Whitney, and many more!

My other is an attempt at Reese Witherspoon. I find her a hard person to draw, but I didn't give up, for I need to face my challenges! I wanted to focus on her chin more than her famous forehead.

Best Cartoon Style Award!

2008-01-07T08:54:00.000-05:00

Wow! I just returned from my trip to the Netherlands, spending much time drawing with many of European's finest artists. I attended a minicon, called CU 2008 in the town of Oosterbeeck and later traveled to Amsterdam where I stayed for a tour on my last day.

I surprisingly won 3rd place for Best Cartoon Style. There were so many great and talented artists and I learned very much by watching, listening, and practice, practice, practice! Since I tend to be more of a digital artist, I feel I need to take the time to practice with my live "color" media, so I decided to take a step and start producing more live studio drawings (on paper) within my future.

My wall (window) of art was designed with color copics/colored pitt pens and colored pencils.

Here are many photos of many friends, my art display and drawings. Also, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Marion at the Hotel Dreyeroord, when she stopped by for a visit with her son and daughter! She is an amazingly talented artist!

Mick did a fantastic Photoshop rendition of me! Thanks Mick!

What a great and adventurous experience! I had so much fun and laughter with EVERYONE!
I will post more photos, hopefully closer and clear photos, later this evening!

2007 was a Great Year!

2008-01-01T10:58:00.000-05:00

I can't wait to see what 2008 holds, but it is already starting out on a wonderful high!
Happy New Year!

Yet, many still say "I hate Bush!"

2007-12-28T10:13:00.000-05:00

I would like to point out the positive!
Please Read!

"A year that started out in near disaster for the Bush Administration has concluded in poignant victory. The quagmire narrative was defeated. Many more battles and challenges lie ahead in Iraq, of course. All but the most diehard partisans, even the New York Times, now acknowledge that some success has been accomplished. There is a chance that Benazir Bhutto's death may reverse course. George Bush's last year in office promises to be eventful."

Studio Cartoon "Fore" a gift!

More Holiday Caricatures!

2007-12-24T12:38:00.000-05:00

3 days to Christmas...

2007-12-23T00:06:00.000-05:00

and yet another event.
I have another set for tomorrow!

WJP Christmas Party!

2007-12-22T13:12:00.000-05:00

Jim opened my caricature present for him and his wife and said "Wow!"
I'm so glad he/she loved it!
Here is the WJP working elves, along with their spouses, or other (in no particular order)!

More Holiday carTOONskees!

2007-12-21T08:33:00.000-05:00

A Gift for the Boss!

2007-12-20T08:20:00.000-05:00

I took a drawing that I created earlier for my son, and altered my art
into a small gift for our 2 engineers in office'! I made T-shirts and mouse pads for them, along with other gifts that our office chipped in to buy as Christmas gifts.
Our party is tomorrow and I am looking forward to a break from working so hard, during one of my busiest months!

Rick has a mustache but always shaves it most of the year, so I drew him without!

Another Pet Cartoon Evening!

2007-12-20T08:13:00.000-05:00

My camera has been acting up lately, so I cleaned my lens and noticed the setting was different and fixed it, so I might be back on track with my camera. Sorry for the blurred vision in these woofers!
One of my favorites was the mop dog! :)

More Gift Cartoon Orders!

2007-12-18T11:48:00.000-05:00

The one I posted as a greyscale image, just because I like it in this mode! :)

Studio Cartoon orders!

2007-12-16T20:53:00.000-05:00

This is one out of five cartoons for a client I created (gift carictures) that I thought I'd share.

Scott and I with Santa!

2007-12-15T14:47:00.000-05:00

Psst! Santa is actually my Social Studies teacher from 7th grade. I always thought he looked like Kris Kringle with his red hair! :D
His beard is real and he sure makes a GREAT Santa!

Trip to the Big Apple!

2007-12-15T14:42:00.000-05:00

Many of my photos were blurry on this event, so here are the few "somewhat" surviving ones.

More Holiday "LIVE" Digital Cartoons!

2007-12-14T23:22:00.000-05:00

My Live Digital Caricatures for Holiday party!

2007-12-11T10:09:00.000-05:00

I managed to take one photo of a guest with my custom design theme that turned out to be a very successful holiday party with my live digital black and white. The theme colors of the party were B&W with cranberry.

Here is my client's comment:
"People have not stopped talking about what a great idea you have AND how incredibly good you are as a Caricaturist. It was such a pleasure having you there and I hope we can work together again in the future!

Very Best,

-Erin"

Thank you Erin!

My Selfish Pig!

2007-12-11T10:00:00.000-05:00

Last week I received "The Pig" in the mail. I thought of many piggish ideas, but here is one that I created quickly and sent.

Party Party!

2007-12-11T09:57:00.001-05:00

More Christmas-catures to share!

2007-12-10T09:08:00.000-05:00

My Christmas Card 2007

2007-12-06T14:25:00.000-05:00

All my Christmas cards are in the snail mail, so to any of my friends who did not receive my card, I'm posting it for you now.

I thought of this idea, started creating my stripping Santa and then my image happen to grow into more ideas. My hubby, Scott, thought of the caption. (I think we make such a great team!)

Enjoy!

More Pets and Photo Guy!

2007-12-06T09:45:00.000-05:00

More!

2007-12-06T09:39:00.000-05:00

Start of a Very Busy December!

2007-12-03T10:33:00.000-05:00

My Doggie style!

2007-11-28T22:45:00.001-05:00

"DOO" dare to read my Xmas card!

2007-11-26T10:51:00.000-05:00

I designed a "Crazy" card recently and MADE time to scribble it out, but I decided to "can" this card and try and blow out another idea I have, so I'm posting my long, drawn out, crazy "Doo" card.

Even though it may seem "somewhat" insulting to the few people drawn on card, my family has this "type" of sense of humor. My mother (last page) laughed hysterically and is excited to show my card around.

I posted it in order from top to bottom. Enjoy!

It's sad for me to say I have no more fuzzies this year. (I state this because my past holiday cards always included my pets). My cemetery is full now and, at this time, there will be no more lively furballs in my household, due to a very productive year(thanks to clients, agents and friends), absence of any authority figures, and much travel time away from home. :(
I truly miss my lil Corky (favorite ferret)! Wah!!! Sob!

Logo for that Honda Guy!

2007-11-25T22:11:00.000-05:00

Tennis Anyone?

2007-11-25T19:36:00.000-05:00

Allison's Birthday Party

2007-11-25T19:03:00.001-05:00

Allison is the one posing silly in the glasses and fuzzy blue!

Lights, Camera, Creation!

2007-11-22T21:09:00.000-05:00

Gone fishing!

2007-11-20T10:53:00.001-05:00

Santa' Arrival n more!

2007-11-18T14:05:00.000-05:00

Holiday orders pouring in!

2007-11-12T08:55:00.000-05:00

The calls, emails, orders are caving in on me! Ahhh!
I can only pray I have the time to do my own personal art creations for gifts, and other.
If anything, I WILL MAKE the time! Who need sleep, right?

Here is the start of one I threw in painter last night!

Festival of Lights!

2007-11-08T08:28:00.000-05:00

Scott and I performed on the cold streets of Philly. (Brrr)
We had to "bling-up." I certainly do NOT make a good runway model with this look!
As you can see, staying warm was #1 on my list. At least my "bear suit" kept me comfortable, but my boots could have had better insulation. I would have been better off bare footed.
Scott made time to pose with his closest magic friends, Francis and Randy.

Plane Lady!

2007-11-05T14:17:00.000-05:00

Here is a lady that I dabble-attacked last month, while waiting at the airport to travel to do an event.

I was playing around in Photoshop with this one, and, of course, I am far from experimenting with her. I will try to get back, but currently, I am busy pumping out many images from this event.

I did some more celebrity dabbling on plane, too, which I will post at another time.

Live Digital Caricatures/Cartoons in my travels...

2007-11-05T10:53:00.000-05:00

and in my sleep! :)
Again, not much time for photography, but I and a friend managed to take a few.
This seemed to be quite a long weekend, but a memorable one.

I performed color, B&W, few with pre-made bodies, couples and more.
Remember? These are "quick" color digital sketches, meaning no time for perfecting lines, coloring etc. I had long lines and I try my best to keep quality, but work fast!

Live Cartoon work!

2007-10-30T19:00:00.000-05:00

I'm trying my best to be productive and still maintain quality and I really surprised myself today. I had very long lines, so my camera shots were kept to favorites, but I managed to draw so much faster and still managed to pack up on time.
More goals of mine to accomplish, but this was a good day!

Back to the drawing board!

Capitol Caricatures!

2007-10-24T17:25:00.001-05:00

Frackville Historical Society

2007-10-23T07:28:00.000-05:00

This past summer I became a member of the Frackville Historical Society to help restore the town that carries many memories of my childhood. The society honored my father and uncles,

The Jordan Brothers

, last spring and that is the time I had learned about the existence of this society.

Our town is in desperate need of attention, so I decided to join the committee and help build the city back to life again!

Scott and I started the design of the website and front page is up and running. We hope to have more, as time moves on, and we will be setting up a Paypal Donation to help our city. Keep checking in! Thanx!
Here is link:

Frackville Historical Society

Private Event in NJ!

2007-10-21T08:32:00.001-05:00

Forgot to mention that lady (with curly greyish/white hair) wanted me to draw her hair from a photo that she showed me, so it is styled.

Just a few faves from weekend event!

2007-10-14T13:37:00.001-05:00

Caricature, Caricature, caicatures!

Nascar Racing!

2007-10-12T21:36:00.000-05:00

My son, JT and his Dorney co-worker friend, Dan!
JT thought this was, quote "Hilarious!" (I like the way I drew him)

This was a very quick design my son asked me to do for him (for a joke), so I had to squeeze this in with how busy I am.

I think I could have brushed up this cartoon a little more, if I had more time, but this will have to do for now.

Something a little different than my Norm!

2007-10-10T22:10:00.000-05:00

I designed these panels for a proud mother having a first birthday for her son.
I did a somewhat cartoon/comic panel style. Scott (hub) thought it was different than my usual design style, but he liked it. My client said it was better than she ever expected!

FOF -Family of Females!

2007-10-10T21:57:00.000-05:00

Another "happy" customer (Clare) for a family generation of girls!
She said to design whatever I want. Now that's a first and it was tough to think of what to do with a family of 6 girls. This is what I digi'd out and her first reply, after I sent her a email view:
Oh Angie, it's FANTASTIC !!
I Love the way you arranged us framed in a house.
You're the Best !!
Thanks so very much,
Clare

Took a shot at another artist, Adam Pate!

2007-10-10T09:15:00.000-05:00

I never find the time to draw other artists, but I somehow squeezed my FUN stuff in between all my projects, work and other craziness. Enjoy!
Now...back to other ongoing orders and such!

Penn State Civil Engineer!

2007-10-07T00:51:00.000-05:00

I designed this quickie for a weekday/end event, but also as a gift for my son, since he is in his 3rd year as an engineer!

Famous Mentalist and Illusionist!

2007-10-06T11:25:00.001-05:00

I know! I look like a "Dufus" in top photo, but here I am with the young and very talented Wayne Hoffman, a famous mentalist and illusionist. Watch for him on NBC this month and be sure to vote!
You will be amazed with his talents! He's the best! Copperfield, MOVE over!

And of course, my hub stopped by to see me and I couldn't wait to try out my new Canon camera! :)

Live Digital Caricature Event!

2007-09-30T10:57:00.000-05:00

My OWN huge LIVE DIGITAL event and the crowd went crazy over this, along with my popular cartoon style! If you are wondering about the white boxes I used to cover parts of the drawing, that's due to an NDA.

Time to Ride!

2007-09-30T10:26:00.000-05:00

My son talked me into going to Dorney Park for the evening, and I'm glad I made time to do this! It was a great dose of medicine for me! I even made time to have another caricaturist, Chris Chua, go crazy on a very Cool caricature of me! Thanks Chris!

My Fuzzy!

2007-09-27T12:42:00.000-05:00

This photo was taken last Friday night of my favorite lil fuzzy named Corky (ferret).
He almost did not make it in the beginning of September, but I helped pull him thru his rough weekend and so far, so good. He's running out of time (old age and illness) but I am still enjoying him!

Scott and I thought the photo was funny, so I thought I'd post!

Drawing cartoons at PS!

2007-09-23T18:55:00.001-05:00

Pet Expo Event- Drawing Woofers!

2007-09-23T08:16:00.000-05:00

I really want and need to work on the "bulging eye" effect with those type of dogs.
Even though I did a good job and the clients loved their drawings, I felt "Not up to my best" on this event. Not sure if it had to do with weather or me!
Oh well, every artist has days like this!

Although... the line kept growing as I surprisingly heard another person whisper behind me "She's really good!" I heard the word "Disney" (again), and about 3 times, so not sure what people were saying about me this time.

All I can say is I keep getting the work, so I must be doing something right! ~wink~

Oh, and I thank "God" (Yes, GOD!, for all you NON believers out there) for my talents, especially my artistic ability, ambition and love for this!

Squashing the Gouache!!

2007-09-21T14:49:00.001-05:00

A little more dabbing!

Trying out Gouache for 1st time!

2007-09-21T05:40:00.000-05:00

Last night I hung out with my artist friend Missi and her daughter and tried my new gouache set. I always wanted to work with gouache and it was what I expected. Missi was teaching me a few tricks with the medium.

This was just my first step. I plan to contrast it some more tonight, especially Missi's shirt and face, and plan to work with this medium some more.

A Golf Character Creation!

2007-09-19T22:03:00.000-05:00

I just finished a rush job on a design for a "Sign" of a new joint opening south of my state. My client loved my quick rough draft, so I finished the color tonight (same day) and I await the next word for any minor changes to my golfer dude.

Client mentioned that I may design another character(gopher)to finish this same sign-design and, of course, I look forward to doing this!
woo hoo! I'm loving this type of artwork!
It brings out my creativeness!

In the paper.... again!

2007-09-17T09:30:00.000-05:00

I actually forgot that they (local papers) took this photo of me at the town's festival a few weeks ago.
I came into work today and one of my co-workers left the article on my desk!

Crystal, my childhood friend!

2007-09-17T08:52:00.000-05:00

Sunday, I managed to slap on makeup and an outfit to attend my cousin's Bridal Shower and to my surprise, Crystal (my cousin's cousin, whom I spent a part of my childhood with, was waving her hand at me! In our younger days, we hung out for many fun times together, like swimming at the Bluey (a pit hole in Frackville) when those Secada flies were flying in our path and we were screaming, chasing my younger brother away (he liked Crystal), and just taking turns sleeping over each other's place.

I can remember a time when I went to HER school for a day, with written permission.
I almost got her in trouble while she was taking a test. What can I say, I get bored easily. :)
Now that I think back, it was really strange to walk into another school for a day and attend classes and meet strange kids my age, just to hang with Crystal! Weird!
I wonder what my parents had thought. I cannot recall.

I remember flirting with a cute boy named Rich, and later having a few small "movie" dates with him. He was the cutest boy in C's class. At that time, I was afraid of getting close to any boy and I believe I was only around 16 yrs old!! Imagine that?
I think he may have tried to kiss me and I broke it off! Blech...boys!
but...I loved to flirt and still do! :D

Crystal is STILL Gorgeous as ever, she's sooo full of fun and has a big heart, too!
She is FAR from being superficial and fake like many I witness or acknowledge today!
She's a real TRUE friend. They are hard to find!!

I am SO looking forward to the wedding at end of Oct and catching up some more!

More Events!

2007-09-16T10:31:00.001-05:00

I took many photos, but will only post my favorite from 2 events! I have way too many photos!

I could not believe how many students wanted to watch me draw last night, even if they were NOT receiving a drawing. I heard them talking about it and saying they could not wait to see how I am going to draw the next person. The first teen LOVED his caricature that he was running around the room showing it off to everyone. SO much laughter and excitement in the room! I felt like a Celebrity! :)

Same old- Same old!

Cartoon....carry me awayyyyyyyy!

Cartoons On the Roof Deck!

2007-09-14T07:17:00.000-05:00

This is just the beginning of a busy weekend!
The man with beard, I actually drew quickly from a distance, during a cocktail hour.
His wife loved it and she sat with me for one. I, then, finished her husbands
drawing, with art stix shading and took photo. They were a lovely couple from Princeton.
Other couple, from Philadelphia, really enjoyed their drawing, too!

FYI: I shop out names and info on badges!

Another Digital Cartoon!

2007-09-10T08:00:00.000-05:00

I may go back to tweaking this one a bit. I'm trying to squeeze family orders in-between events, studio orders and other art stuff,(that is confidential right now-sorry..my lips are sealed)!

A Hot Day on the Square!

2007-09-09T10:43:00.000-05:00

Doodling while on the phone!

2007-09-07T18:35:00.001-05:00

I accidentally doodled out familiar faces while gabbing on phone with my friend, Beth!

Painter Lady!

2007-09-04T20:33:00.000-05:00

Tonight I am working on creating a cartoon from this lady-client's photo for my next order. Her email stated that she absolutely loves my cartoony style, so I do not want to disappoint her.
I created this in Painter using the oil brush with a palette of colors I created.

Pete the Retriever

2007-09-03T17:01:00.000-05:00

Well, today I worked at a fundraiser and took many photos to find out that I did NOT have my camera card set properly! Bummer!
So, I came home and finished a hand drawn studio cartoon order of Pete!

...and yet another Kahr-toon of me!

2007-08-30T11:54:00.000-05:00

I scribble out one, and later created a cartoon piece in color from the one below! I SHOULD take more time to color this a lil-bit better, but it will have to do! :) I have other projects to attend this week.

Fox "y" Premiere of HOUSE!!!!

2007-08-30T07:08:00.000-05:00

I started this design of Dr Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) in the beginning of the year and was hoping to get back to him with this awesome design idea, but never found the time. I was, and am, WAY too busy with my cartoon work this year! I'm not complaining, but I hope to get to my own creative work soon.

I thought it was time to post him. However, I designed him on my Mac and I noticed the colors of Doc look darker on a PC, than my Macbook.

I am looking SO forward to the new season of "House," starting last week of September! I'm addicted to the Doc!

Digital Cartoon Couple!

Artist draws with Cintiq21UX tablet!

2007-08-29T11:46:00.000-05:00

Looking for an artist to draw live digital caricatures for your next event?
I'm a caricaturist who draws with a Cintiq21UX tablet. At your event, you will not only see the person being drawn on the large screen, but you will see this same person on my large drawing tablet, called the Wacom Cintiq21UX.

Is your event a Private Party, Corporate Event, College Event, Graduation Party, Retirement Party, Bat Mitzvah, Bar Mitzvah, Anniversary Party, Birthday Party, Holiday Party, Company Party, Wedding Party, Bridal shower, Open House/Grand Opening, Festival, Hospitality Suite, Trade Show, Car Show, Showcases, Presentations and many other events?

What better way to show-off to your guests with a big show. Not only will many laugh and watch the person "In the Chair," be drawn into a cartoon, but a few of your guests will be lucky enough to take home a unique cartoony style drawing (on photo paper) of themselves, with your logo or theme within the same drawing.

Squeezing in events over weekend!

2007-08-27T07:49:00.000-05:00

Whew! I've managed to take 4 pics over my weekend caricature events, while being very busy with other ongoing projects.

So many wild and wonderful business opportunities have been coming my way, so if I do not post, I'm just a B-Z gal!

Right now, I am taking a small break, from all my work load, to go workout at the gym today! My body is craving this!

7 hours of Cartoon Land Fun....

2007-08-19T08:42:00.000-05:00

but I'm not complaining! This was a fantastic event with great sociable, humorous and fun party people!
My client had a movie theme, so few guests arrived dressed up for this event. One sprayed himself gold from head to toe, to be the "Oscar." Funny!

The little princess girl, Clara, is an artist and practically watched me the whole night, laughing next to me! I wanted to take her home she was that cute!

Summer Picnic Event

2007-08-15T07:06:00.000-05:00

Caricatures Bodies-Color-Fast!

2007-08-13T07:56:00.000-05:00

This client enjoyed collecting caricatures and I recognized the work of many artists hung throughout his house. It's nice to see a client appreciate the different styles of many!

Too bad my one photo (bottom) is blurry, but if you can see this, I have him with his dog in his huge hand! He and his guests really had a laugh over his request to be drawn with his tiny dog!

I love a challenge and many of these requested themes were a challenge, but this helps me develop my skills for fast bodies and quick thinking.

Windy Day for Cartooning!
