Welcome to 2008! April, May, & June

So, I haven't posted on my blog in almost 9 months and I'm sure that all of my fans figured that I fell off the face of the earth. I didn't have my camera and sort of lost touch with the whole blog scene, but I'm back. This might be an over saturation of caricature greatness, but if you take it in small dosages, you'll make it through.

April 24:

I did a gig at a casino out in the desert. There was virtually no one there, but the people that got drawn were really entertaining. This old man didn't talk much, but he seemed pretty cool.

April 24:

I drew this little girl and her brother and even though the drawings were free, their parents were giving me the evil eye like, "And you're trying to sell me this...this doesn't look like my kid...who are you trying to fool." It isn't a great likeness, but the fact that they were looking over my shoulder and scoffing at me, didn't loosen me up any.

This girl came around with a group of 3 or 4 others. She insisted that I include her "Flintstones" necklace. Her friends were laughing behind me and she really liked the way it turned out, even though, I didn't give her a neck.

I drew this woman and her husband, but her's looked way better. I sat there with her for 3 minutes and she maintained a frown, as if she didn't even know what a smile was. When I was done and I took her photo, she broke out into a huge smile as if, I was trying to compare how miserable she could look and how happy she could look.

This girl was totally ridiculous. She was so drunk, she was falling all over herself. She hated her drawing and ended up crumbling it up into a little ball and forgetting that I ever drew it. She uncrumbled it and then gave me a hug. I thought it was a good likeness, but I think that her bubbling personality saved the night for me.

These women were awesome. The woman on the right was a former exotic dancer turned hardcore cougar. If I wasn't working, I might have taken her up on her offer to buy me a drink, but under the circumstances I felt it was unprofessional. They both wanted me to make their boobs big. So, I did.

May 31:

This family loved their drawing. The kids loved the fact that the mom was "eating" her son's head.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of these kids, but they were totally cool. The father was all about 80's metal and he wanted his son to be playing a guitar like Zakk Wyde. It's a good think that I've heard of Black Label Society and Ozzy or else this kid might have been playing a Fender Stratocaster.

These kids were a lot of fun to draw. When I drew this girl as Dora, I hadn't seen a picture of boots in close to a year. It might not be exactly alike, but it looks like a monkey.

This baby looks totally crazy. Almost too crazy to even include, but too crazy to not include. I can't believe that they actually bought it. People are so nice. I hope that the baby doesn't grow up with psychological issues, due to his ugliness in this caricature.
