Sweet 16 caricatures on a YACHT!

 Yes---I can draw while sailing. In bitter cold even! 

We were all awaiting the advent of a big snowstorm, but we packed this party in right before it started...

Post-Holiday staff party caricatures part 2!

 This evening's caricatures were done for the staff party, at another location of this wonderful pub.

ImageImage

Forgot to mention, that both this and the previous staff party were held on BITTERLY cold nights--
 we are having a nasty cold snap in our area--so, kudos to everyone who showed up! That's why I'm wearing my Hello Kitty hat!

Oh, and the dress code was "Winter White". These ladies got the memo!

Again, thanks to Lauren for having me! This is the feedback she left on my Google listing:

Emily did an amazing job at 2 of my restaurants staff parties!!
The staff loved the caricature drawings and had so much fun.
Emily was very professional and organized from start to finish.
Thank you from Magerks!

Post-Holiday staff party caricatures part 1...

 December is often just too busy for some companies to have their own holiday party... 

this local restaurant chain's owner closes each one to the public for an evening, so the staff can be treated to a festivity just for them! My caricatures were part of it twice, these are from the first location:

High-rise gig, but but sadly no event pics....

Sometimes, I am not permitted to take photos at certain gigs...so, here's a few of my view from this building, before heading into the event, and of my fellow artists afterwards. C'est la vie!

Thank you ATG!

Post-holiday company party caricatures!

My second year doing STEALTH CARICATURES for this company party was a big success! It was held in a different location of the same local chain restaurant as last year. I did my thing sneaking around with my clipboard, and everyone loved their surprise, including the owner:

I drew some dancers:

and some head shots:

...and some profiles!

First Wedding of 2026---a formal wedding with CARICATURES

Image
Image
This wedding was booked by the bride's maid of honor, what a great gift to the couple!

Held at one of my fave venues, The Waterfall (not just because it's near where I live, but also it is top-notch!)  the guests adhered to a formal black dress code. And because there were over 100 of them, I did my speedy line-drawing-only mode, to get more guests drawn.

These last two pics were taken at the very end. The caricaturist is always last to leave!
Thank you for having me!
