12-10-11 Waterbar in SF for Astreya

12-9-11 Boullete's Larder

This is Boullette. He's the namesake of a very fine dining establishment in SF, http://bouletteslarder.com/.

This was an intimate group, less than 30 people, and I managed to draw everyone there in under 4 minutes a piece! A speed record for me I think. Speed is important in my job because I charge by the hour, and I want to give as much as I can for the time I am booked. On average, I spend about 6 minutes on each face. In this case, I was trying to get everyone done before dinner and had limited time.

Doug Shannon, Salah Khudari, and myself drew for this unnamed company. I managed about 60 drawings in 5 hours! Downloads at EventToons.com!

December 5, Bay Area Caricaturists entertain for DCM at the Asian Art Museum!

The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco hosted Doll Capital Management's Holiday Party, and Bay Area Caricatures came out with the whole team to entertain over 800 guests!

I celebrated my 31st birthday doing what I love, drawing for people at an incredible venue, San Francisco's world famous Asian Art Museum. With over 800 guests on the guest list, I needed all the help I could get. So I brought along the Bay Area's most talented digital artists, a group of people I have admired for a long time. Here in the Bay Area, we have a team of artists that are incredibly talented and experienced in drawing and entertaining at a very high level. 

Doug Shannon, who runs EventToons.com.

Illustrator and accomplished caricaturist Zach Trenholm.

 Along with myself one of the new kids, Salah Khudari.

And Rhoda Draws, who is a true pioneer in the digital arts, with more experience and knowledge than just about anyone.

This event was really special for me! We came and wowed the crowd as a team. For anyone looking for a group of highly talented and capable artists with experience in putting on the best event possible, look no further than the Bay Area!

Ottawa, Canada!

I had a lot of fun visiting Canada's Capitol, Ottawa in November this year. I was there drawing for Symantec, thanks to EventToons for sending me! You can download my drawings at EventToons.com.

Shura Kelly, Bark to Basics pet drawings commission complete!

Just wrapped up about 75 dog drawings in time for my work trip to Ottawa Monday morning. Here's a tiny thumbnail view of the doggies, plus my cat hiding in there as well!

Shura was kind enough to submit this great review of my services to Yelp!

This excellent video was made by Meghan Marchetti. Go take a look at her website, but don't bug her too much, she's working on a film with Spielburg right now!

International Society of Caricature Artists!

Just finished a great week in St. Pete beach with hundreds of caricaturists from all over the world!
Along with seeing some old friends and making new ones, I also got second place as World's Fastest Caricaturist, competing with hundreds of artists from 9 different countries.

Below are just a few of my drawings of other caricaturists who attended the event!

See if you can spot the faces below...

Myself and Jan Op De Beeck, who I consider to be as good as any caricaturist alive and possibly the best!

Dan Almarei, you want this guy around to turn a night of drawing into a nonstop weeklong party!

The president of the International Society of Caricature Artists, Mr. Steve Hearn.

John Sprague and myself.

Ryan Rhoades, a digital caricaturist like myself from Florida.

L to R, Jeff Mandell, myself, Ryan Rhoades, and Salah Khudari. 

This was my first time at the convention for more than a couple days, and I got to see what it was really about. I learned a lot, and next year's convention in Texas can't come soon enough!
