Philly Bowl-o-holics and Fuggotabout Fair Photos...

Here's some pics from a gig at the North Bowl bowling alley in Philly, for the local Maker's Mark reps. I even got a free bottle of their famous whiskey thrown into the deal. These are the gigs I live for...

The owner of North Bowl and his eager girlfriend...

And as a special added bonus, here's some snaps from the NJ Balloonfest that I used to do, as a nice lead in to my next blog post...

"Gotcher 'Newark Staw Ledga' right heyah!!!!! My god, four years later, and this guy's incessant braying is still stuck in my head...make it stop!!!!

Repeat Funny Bizness...

I had a lot of fun going wild with the facebending at this family party for a high school grad girl (second pic) in Secaucus NJ. This gig was a rare case of repeat business with a 6 year gap - I drew at the client's daughter's 13th birthday party in 2004! I had actually moved from North Jersey to the Philly area later that year, and she tracked me down to get me to draw for this party - how cool is that??? 

This lady shared the same name with my wife and I's friend Lisa Wolf, which I thought was cool, and I made sure to add a howling wolf in the distance and a full moon too...owwoooooooooo...

Here's some hysterical laughing I caught on video from the last couple to be drawn on this fun night...

...And here's some stuff I never posted from a while back:

A Hulkin' Out kid from a 1st b-day party...

A company party for some company...

Sweat, Fur, Feathers....Laffs

Here's a grab-bag o' live stuff from the sweaty month of July...

This group of photos was at a great family party in NJ for a recent high school grad - the hosts of the party, in the first photo, owned 6 cats, a parrot, and a cockatoo. That's a lotta poo...

I'm in the process of creating a collage of the caricature faces (in color) requested by the client, so I'll be posting that as soon as I finish. 

Kids in the Class Caricatures

This past year I got a job as a one on one assistant for a 3rd grade student in an elementary school in Northeast Philly, and ended up not only drawing him many times, but all 29 kids in his class! Each of these caricatures I finished by the last day of school and they were very excited to finally see them! There were a couple kids whose caricatures I somehow missed getting photos of, so there's actually 27 posted here. I look forward to this school year's doodlings - hopefully there's less students this time!
