The idol winner, Maura and I

I had the pleasure of being entertained by many talented individuals, Reiley Lonergan, Zavry Jones, Maura Gownley, Brooke Unger, Marissa Arce, Dakota McGeehan, Emily Fanelli and so many more.

This was a tough competition to judge for all the contestants were very good. The only way I can describe this feeling is to compare it to the Olympics. If 6 runners are competing in the Olympics and one wins by a 10th of a second, does that make the other 5 not good enough? Not at all! The winner happened to perform the best on THAT particular day!

Along with judging this tough competition, I drew some caricatures for the few people who attended early, either to watch the show and/or support the contestants for the evening. A portion of these donations go to the Caring Soles to help the people of Haiti.

Here are some fun cartoon-likenesses along with a few photos of the contestants to enjoy.

I will post my fun creation of the digital caricatures of the top 3 idol contestant singers tonight and announce our Junior Idol winner! Stay “tooned!”

What a great time I had with professional Canadian artist Kelly Gannon at the ISCA caricature convention held in Sandusky, Ohio last November.

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!

I had so much fun entertaining for 3 hours and having nice conversation with the guests as I drew them into my fun color caricature style. I even drew a christmas tree with presents for display and my client’s children from photos, since few were in college or away and could not make the party. My client was thrilled that I could do this for her.
Here are few party guests to view!

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!

These digital cartoons are great for party favors at your wedding. I recently had one couple create champagne glasses with their cartoon image, along with creating thank you cards to follow up after their wedding. However, most of my clients matte their caricature to have it as a signature board displayed at the reception on an easel.

There are so many FUN and creative ways to use your wedding digital cartoon!

Update: Message from Paul!!!!
They look absolutely fabulous, Hon. My staff & students are really impressed with the way you captured me; and I love the retro style (how did you know).

Psst, “they” meaning I sent a few files to Paul with and without the black box, and sexy smoke, along with a file that can be used for websites without having that white background.
