My birthday happened to fall on a Saturday this year and I usually have weekend bookings with my caricature entertainment, but that’s perfectly OK! Since I really love drawing caricatures and cartoons, my day turned out to be a GREAT day with 2 fun company picnics!

My first event was at my favorite picnic and for the second year in a row with my good art friend, Zach Manbeck, and his wonderful mother, Pati! August 7th happens to be Pati’s birthday, too, so we were both working on our birthdays. lol!

Earlier, before the picnic, I drew a fun caricature of Zach with my Copic markers and I surprised him with it. He added it to his Angie collection. Zach must have about 7 to 10 drawings from me so far. I’m really flattered that he enjoys my art work.

I was hoping Zach would set up his easel to draw next to me, but instead he was my side partner in taking some of my photos of the picnic guests. Thank you Zach.

And afterwards, Pati made sure I took some of the great picnic food with me on the road to my next event in Maryland. Thank you so much Pati! You are truly a wonderful and giving person. Happy Birthday to you, too!

Only a few photos to share for now…..
