Have been drawing at quite a few events in the past week including one fro Gasparilla. Here are some photos of folks with their drawings. The one above involves hiking in space and the one just below was great fun. It involved drawing a scene from ‘Wuthering Heights’. Then it’s a former engineer mapping out plans for travel and lastly a native Tampan bicycling the historic buildings in Ybor City.

Got a lot done in 3 hours at Chelsea Coffee shop. Pencils and prep for two caricature illustrations I’ll be watercoloring. Pencils for two advertising cartoons and inks for a gag cartoon. Now off to scan art and get approvals and plan when to break out the paints.

Doing the caricature thing in St. Petersburg last night!

Last caricature gig of the year and drew a terrific assortment of attendees. Most in the event business themselves.

Performing at a ton of Christmas events this year doing the caricature thing. I’ve also been doing a lousy job posting here. Been posting like gangbusters on the Swampy’s Florida site, though! I’ll try to do better here.

Here is a step by step of a watercolor caricature I painted on Halloween.Above is the pencil and preparation for watercolor.

Here I’ve added the watercolor.

Finally, I brush in the line work.

Created this watercolor caricature for a client who contacted me earlier in the day. He had to have it by noon on the 27th. So we met and I drew, inked and painted the artwork at a coffee shop. Here’s step by step of the development of the caricature. All are photographs at the scene.

Here are a few caricatures I drew near Sarasota on September 6th. Started off outside.

It soon got dark….

So we all came inside.

This is one of the last I drew after more than 4 hours non-stop.  I was pooped!

Drew and painted this for one of our speakers, fromer State Senator Lee Constantine, at our springs conference at Silver River State Park back on June 23rd. Lee spoke about his memories of playing what he called “Catfish Football” at Silver Springs. Folks would wad up slices of bread and toss it to the catfish, who would hungrily devour the bread as it hit the water. It was tough rendering a wad of bread that looked like a wad of bread. 🙂

On UStream for a second day this week and another very productive time was had. Watercolored a wedding caricature, inked an editorial cartoon, inked another cartoon for a client, penciled a cartoon for a client and penciled/inked/watercolor a Thank you card for a friend in the military. All in 4 hours. Hope to be as productive tomorrow on UStream, too! 🙂

Got on a drawing spree this evening. 5 projects knocked out in 5 hours.
