An Ohev Shalom Congregation Celebration!

Posted on March 1, 2010

After a nice morning walk with my dog, with the sun shining, and a good workout at the gym, I am finally posting about yesterday’s fun event.

A magic show, a community play and a few hours of my cartoon characters were the highlight of this exciting event, along with the yummy Jewish food like my faves, Falafel and Hamantasch (the cookies with poppy seeds- smack, smack). :)

The kids and parents really enjoyed my entertainment by watching me draw them into a cartoon-like character, with capturing their own personality. Even the kids were raving over how much the cartoons looked like one another.

Here are but a few photos to see the FUN cartoon action that took place. Thank you Shaul!

Caricatures to help the Caring Soles- “Haiti!”

Posted on February 28, 2010

I haven’t had much time to post on my blog since I have had quite a busy week with booking many events along with quite a few orders coming in for digital caricatures (personal and commercial). My week coming up looks even crazier than last week and that’s a good thing, because I like to keep busy!

For the past 8 years, I have been a part of all the idol shows at our local mall, (junior and teen shows). I have taken part in performing at some of the shows (hip hop dancing, too-lol), as well as being a judge for all the contestants. It’s never easy being a judge, for there are SOOO many good singers and all it takes is a bad choice song or just being shy or unprepared on your performance and song that causes a contestant not to make it to the next round. I sure hope to see many of these contestants return!

Every Tuesday at 6pm is our Junior Idol Show at the Schuylkill Mall at center court. This week you will see many talented contestants like Marissa Arce, Emily Fanelli, Maura Gownley, Reiley Lonergan, Dakota McGeehan, and Brook Unger.

This year I decided to bring my caricatures to the mall as part of a donation to the Caring Soles of Haiti. I will be at each show (we have 3 shows left) from 3:30 to 5:30 to draw any individual who would like a B&W caricature and help donate to the people in Haiti. Each person is $10 to have a fun B&W, head and shoulder cartoon drawing, created by me. Please join all the fun with me this Tuesday!

Here are a few photos from contestants and family. Thank you for donating!



Live Digital House Party

Posted on February 14, 2010

It seems that things worked out perfectly this weekend. Not only did the snow fall early in the week so traffic was a breeze, but I had the great opportunity to bring my Live Digital Caricatures to what looks to be a new trend: distinguished house parties.

This party happened to be her twelfth birthday and everyone hung around watching me drawing on the Cintiq and the extra iMac screen.

I could continue about how much fun it was to be invited into this wonderful family’s home and be a guest of honor for a few hours. But I think pictures speak louder than words, so get ready for an onslaught!

First, here is a digital cartoon of the family, including their pet dogs.

After all girls were drawn into their theme choice, all 9 girls (one girl missing in photo) were put into one group drawing as a special gift for the birthday person to have for keeps! Happy Birthday Cela!

Update: My client left a comment;
I can’t say enough good things about Angie. She arrived over an hour early, she set up in small quaters and accomdated all of the kids at our daughter’s party. I knew we made the right decision when Angie was surrounded by 10 twelve year old girls waiting for their turn and she was just so nice to each one. She made each girl feel like they were the only one in the room.
