3-13-10 Part two, Lynne's 65th Bash at Servino's in Tiburon hires Jon Casey to draw caricatures!

Lynne called me up many months ago to meet for a cup of coffee and discuss her plan for a secret birthday party to celebrate her 65th. We planned a time and place, and without any of her friends knowledge Lynne threw a great party. Lots of her friends showed up to express their love for her, it was a really nice time. I managed to draw everyone at the party! It's unfortunate that the low lighting made for poor photos, there were lots of great faces and jewelry and outfits!

Another really packed party, friends, family, even the teachers came to this one. There was tons of food, and a live Bird Show. When I set up the whole party lined up and for 3 hours I drew nonstop, for a total of 48 people. (Avg 3.75 minutes per face)

12-6-09 Birthday Party!

This family was really cool! Drew their 1 yr old and all her friends, as well as this couple at the bottom who asked to be drawn as zombies. They loved it!

Matt threw a party for his son's first bday the day after thanksgiving. It started raining so we moved the party in doors and everyone ate fresh grilled food while I drew, we all had a good time.

11-15-09 Birthday Bash in Tiburon Hires Bay Area Caricature Artist Jon Casey

Easy Sunday, one job in Tiburon at a fantastically decorated club. The people were great, and the kids were entertained by balloon artists, jumpers, and a great magician named Tye the Magic Guy.

This was a truly full week! Being self employed and somewhat of a workaholic, I am thankful for being able to serve as many people as I have this week. As well as working events Fri-Sun, I also drew a watercolor pen and ink commission, as well as a digital caricature of 20 people involved in a corporate merger. That one especially was a lot of work, about 40 hours in the week before, and I am looking forward to sharing it once I have permission.

11-14-09- 3 parties, 1 night

Part 1 : A birthday party in South San Francisco. I quickly drew every single kid attending the party (about 25 kids), and had time to get some of the adults done as well.

I got an email the next day from them:

Thanks for the fabulous job you did at my daughter's birthday. you were the hit of the party.

best,

leli

I only had 2 hours there before rushing off to....

Part Two : A wedding on Treasure Island.

Part 3: Ended the night at Kevin's 30th b-day party, True Blood themed. I drew Kevins whole company in one afternoon back in July (check it out here). This was a fun party, more of a perk of my job than actual work.

10-11-09 Birthday party in San Francisco hires Bay Area Caricature artist Jon Casey

Hi Jon!

Thanks again for drawing at the birthday yesterday!
Everyone loved their drawings, and the parents were impressed with how
quickly and accurately you drew their kids. You even had a chance to
draw my mother, which was very cool. Walker and all, she managed to
stroll onto the grass. ;) Thanks also for staying a little longer to
finish drawing the picture of my girls.

Thank you again
and hope to see you again at some of my friends' parties.

Cheers!

9-26-09 40th Birthday Party in Los Gatos

I showed up at Tapestry restaurant in Los Gatos for Sheree's 40th Birthday Party and immediately started sketching her friends, to fit all 15 people on a large drawing. As soon as that was done, I drew the couples together and matted the drawings for them to have a take away gift.

While I was very busy working quickly to get in as many of her friends as possible, other patrons from the restaurant kept approaching me to draw them as well! Unfortunately, I had to leave and rushed back to San Francisco for a Make a Wish Benefit night.

Everyone at the party thought it was a great idea, and the next day I got a call from Sheree thanking me and telling me what a great addition I was to her party. I think I will be drawing for her and her friends in the future, and look forward to it!

9-20-09 Birthday Party in Pacifica

The Baby Birthday Girl, Mom and Dad. They all took off to Hawaii the next day, so I was forced to take home piles of delicious BBQ food that was left over... thanks !
This kid was a lot of fun to draw, he kept the same face and was really still the whole time. He refused to smile while I was drawing him, but couldn't hold it back once he saw the drawing and his spongebob shirt!

This was my second event for this group of friends and family. I saw a lot of familiar faces! I love getting to know people around the area that I would have never met under other circumstances. Everyone loved the drawings, and this morning I got a call from one of the families there to come and draw at another party coming up.

Jake's First Birthday 9-13-09 in Concord

"Frog prince" themed party, full of babies and family. I was asked to stay extra to get in a few more people, and got an email the next day from them asking for a couple more!

8-29-09 Private Party in El Sobrante California

Straight from Bloomingdales to El Sobrante, I drew this couples families and friends, and cooks!

A gift

When a local family hired me for a birthday party, I drew everyone there with about half an hour to spare. Since they had already paid, I made this drawing of the birthday girl for them to make up for the extra minutes.

There are a lot more samples of this kind of work on the illustration blog link.
