1-22-12

Today I drew for the cast party of a play of Annie with the great artist Zach Trenholm. I got out just in time to catch the last 3 quarters of the SF 49ers game. SF just barely lost out on going to the superbowl in over time! Next year is another chance for the 49ers, and by next year these kids will be partying after another play.

1-21-12 BART

This afternoon I drew for the Union of BART employees. These people keep the trains clean, the stations in order, the ticket machines working, and count the cash at the end of the day EVERY DAY. These people keep the Bay Area moving and getting to work on time. Most of the employees were 10-25 year veterans. The couple in the picture above have been together since age 13 (!) and he has worked for BART since graduating college. A wonderful group of people.

Pet Sketches by Jon Casey

These were drawn up for a local client who runs a doggie day care as gifts. I thought I would share them now that the holidays are over and I won't be ruining any surprises. There were about 120 total!

If you would like to commission a sketch of your pet, or get one drawn up for a friend, send me an email!

1-10-12 Jon and Salah for Fenwick and West at the Weinstein Gallery, Union Square SF

SF's Weinstein gallery, which became even more famous this year after the theft of a Picasso (later returned).

Bay Area Caricaturist Salah working his magic. 

Fenwick and West put on a great party at the Weinstein Gallery in SF, with entertainment by Bay Area Caricatures. Both Jon Casey and Salah were on hand to sketch the smiling guests. As you can tell from the photos, we were a hit! View and download photos from the event here!

This was a really unique and fun job! Venrock hired Gary Wagner  http://www.garywagnerphotos.com
to shoot their party, and as he took photos he would drop them off to me to draw. I really enjoyed capturing a scene and people interacting together. I would love to have the chance to draw for other meetings/parties in a way that goes beyond just caricature and tries to capture the event as it takes place.
