VW Thug!

JULY 4th - No gigs this day, but me and the wife, along with our pals Paulie and Joana, decided to wake up at the crack o' dawn, and try selling our old junk at Rices' Market, a huge flea market outside of New Hope. Old comics, toys, books, videogames (Coleco and ATARI!!!), and sundry other chintzy junk we got as gifts or had no more use/room for - we did fairly well, but still came back home with a car full of boxes of unsold stuff. I did keep busy with some caricatures of customers - about 5 of them - that i sold too cheap...and a drawing in-progress of Paulie in his beloved VW "Herbie" bug - unfinished as yet, but here's the sketch, and the coloring that i began but didn't finish because of customer haggling! Final to be posted soon!

Paulie doesn't have a gold tooth, but it IS crooked, and besides, everyone should have at least one gold tooth right?

Grad Partayyyy

Year #4 or 5 for this fun gig for the good people at Covenant House - didn't have time to take many photos! So many great faces and personalities here and always a good time. Even drew one kid in the parking lot, who got there late and missed the fun. Hope to do this one again next year!

Dirty Jersey Jackin'

This gig took place the night of the Ghost Hunters event at Fort Mifflin - had to cut that short and trudge up to North Plainfield for another all-night high school grad party, this time at a big sports club where the lines grew and grew, the laughs got louder and louder as the hours grew later...worked with New Yawker, and self-described 'technophobe', Mr.Garret Bender for this one!
More fun having fun with fun and appreciative students with too little sleep and too much caffeine and sugar! (same goes for me)

Goofin' On the Ghost Hunters Part 3!

So, as promised, here's our next meeting with the Ghost Hunters/TAPS crew, once again at a Fort Mifflin event, at the end of last month - more of a brief visit for me, as I had a middle of the night Project Grad gig for a High school in North Jersey(Tango's high school, coincidentally!), so couldn't stick around for the investigation (Jill did go though, along with my star-struck cousin Alison). But I got the color versions done, and printed out a new group caric, to give to them. Yeah, and I didn't get individual photos/scans of the final pieces, duh. Found a pic Kris took though of hers, on her Twitter account - so all I have to do now is pester those guys for photos of theirs...maybe I'll do some new versions of them for the next fundraiser in November. Again, all props due to Bruce Tango - YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Jill and Grant modeling with some bags of her chocolate chip cookies. Grant delighted in calling Jill 'Cookie Monster'. I don't think so Grant - I'M the cookie Monster!!!

Perplexed

One more from the infamous East Brunz grad gig - thanx to Angie for lending me her camera when mine got full! This guy was a bit surprised and perplexed at his drawing- to tell the truth, I was a little too! (yes, I surprise and perplex myself quite often...)
