2009, a celebration of a great year!

2009 has been a difficult year for many, and so I am especially thankful that I have continued to be able to make a living doing something that I love. This year I drew for over one hundred and twenty events, for thousands of people all over the Bay Area! I attended warm celebrations for families celebrating birthdays from ages 1 to 65. I helped to make weddings, Mitzvahs, and Anniversaries memorable and entertaining. I made just another day at the office a fun time for everyone. I helped make Halloween and Christmas parties more festive. Also, in the past few months, I developed my own style of digital caricatures. With the help of a small handful of artists working in this medium across the globe, I brought a new and exciting way of working to my own practice.

For everyone out there who had me come and draw for your friends, family, school, office, club, party or event, thank you for letting me continue to do what I love to do. I hope that in the coming years I can continue to be a part of your festivities, and make the special times you spend with each other more memorable.

Happy Holidays.

12-18-09 Last Job of the Year!

The Mt Tam Racquet club contacted me a few days before their Holiday Party looking for a caricaturist. I ended up staying more than an hour over time, as they kept the party going later than they had planned because we were all having so much fun with the caricatures. All of these drawings were done for myself, for my own practice and love of drawing. I wanted to end the year with strong work, and the top sketch of this post was my very last event caricature of the year.

12-11-09 Holiday Party at the San Jose Museum of Art hires Bay Area Caricaturist Jon Casey!

Rovi Corp rented out the San Jose Museum of Art and had me come and draw for them. It was such as hit, I ended up staying an extra hour. When the Museum was shutting down and the food was being put away, I was finishing up the last few in line still.

Genentech's Holiday party was a full on event thrown by Inspire Productions. I worked with an up and coming caricaturist Jeanette Madden. It was interesting to talk to people who spend their working hours combating Alzheimer's and looking for the cure for cancer.
