Scott and I had a wonderful time in Philly, staying at Loews Hotel, dining out and attending the performance of a well-known play called “Les Miserables.” (a Christmas gift to us from relatives)
What a great story in this play!!!! I loved, loved loved it!
I absolutely was mesmerized by the lead actor, Jean Valjean, and his pure sounding voice!
He captured my attention every time he sang a note!
We downloaded the CD from Itunes (original cast from London), but I actually preferred the voice of the Jean Valjean in the Philly play, named Hugh Panero, more than the original singer on this CD.

Here are photos of the evening. It rained a bit and it was a hot and sweaty night, as you can tell in second photo.

The next day we took a walk through the park around the Tower of Liberty and then we attended a very good friend’s party in Jersey, and I drew a few cartoons for her guests, while Scott did a little strolling magic.

In color!
Just a few pics and I’m off to ride my lawn mower! Wee!
Grass needs-a cuttin’ and I’ve been-a workin’ too much!

A few came back to my chair for more than one caricature. I warned them that I draw them goofier, if they repeat a caricature with me! Ha Ha

I do not know how I pulled all these events in one weekend…yawn…scritch/scritch…but here is my album!
(not in any particular order)

And I loving to draw them into a cartoon!

I am following up on Ariel’s fun outdoor graduation and birthday party.

Ariel’s Caricature Signature Board was displayed on my other easel for signatures, while I entertained Ariel’s party guests.
I had a few bending over laughing at my cartoon-likeness, but that is what caricatures are all about!

I could not believe how much one of the guests (below) looked like Lewis Black!

(Note: My camera was bumped to a different setting, so a few of these photos are fuzzy and yellow!
What can I say, but I’m a Ninny! :))

This school brought me back to draw their 6th graders.
Some teachers even snuck in - ~wink~

Here are a few pics from my Greyhound drawing event(Pet Cartoons). I couldn’t have been more happy to work for this client. She was very thoughtful, giving and always came by to check on me.

And from greyhound to graveyard. After this gig, I worked the ‘graveyard shift’ at a post prom event at Unionville High School. This was the third year in a row they requested me. They have plenty of entertainment for the students, which just makes it an energetic event, which you sort of need at 3 am!

What was also great was working with my friend Emily Anthony again. You can check out some of the pictures she took on her blog: Emily’s Sketchblog

I knocked out quite a few interesting and funny cartoon characters! But instead of more of my pictures, I managed to take a few shots of this famous magician working his amazing magic talent that evening. ~wink~ (For those who don’t know, he’s my husband!!!)

I felt bad for Scott, because he’s wrapping post-production on a three volume DVD set that’s being distributed across the States and Europe and the gold master is going out Monday. He is an editor at Reels in Motion Visual Effects Studio, a company he started several years ago, in addition to freelance work he does for several other production companies.

So as you can image, there are all the last minute checks and approvals going on with the client and is already a few nights behind on sleep. But he had a blast performing last night and they’ve already requested us both for next year! Here’s a few pics!

These students were “wonderful!”
I love my job!
