Turkey pumpkin pie, ha!  Happy Thanksgiving!!

Doing a gig at Crazy Harry's Bar in Winnetka this weekend for their 3rd year Anniversary party.  Harry is the owner, Jay his manager.  Will use this to advertise the event on social media. 

My sister Shauna reached the half century mark this year and for some reason I wanted to go with something cute.  I settled on a cute owl.

My oldest, Heather, just returned home from her third trip to Italy, the last two as a nanny.  Having a goodly amount of free time, she took advantage by traveling to various cities in Italy, and extended trips to England and Switzerland.  During a hike in the Alps, she and her friends encountered a herd of very happy and amazingly CLEAN cows, afterward posting a video which included their melodious cowbells in "concerto".  Of course I just had to have "more cowbell" to help ring in her birthday. :)

Though called the Desert Classic, the group of friends who go on an annual golf tournament decided to try a different type of venue, this year choosing the land of 10,000 lakes for their weekend of fun, hence the watery theme and plucky duck.

Brayden's mom said he likes Godzilla and has a toy action figure, so I hope she doesn't find this depiction too mean or destructive for her 5 year old…but that, after all, is what Godzilla does!  The perspective is off a bit, but I had to tweak things to fit around Brayden's head, and since Godzilla is rather large, he can twist and contort however he wants. :)

Last year I drew some b/w caricatures that went on the programs and an advertising banner for the Norris Theater production of Arsenic and Old Lace, located in the Palos Verdes area.  The same client called to tell me a production he is involved in put on by the Laughing Stock Company at the Golden Horseshoe in Disneyland will be closing after 18 years, and he wanted to present a gift to some of the main players as a commemoration, and deciding to do a caricature, he of course thought of me!  He will have the lettering done digitally…The Golden Horseshoe will go in the blank center area, the companies name and whatever else he decides will go above and below as both top and bottom fades out to white.  If the "girl" looks manly, it's because the part is played by a not so pretty man, which is a part of the comedy, haha!

Here is how it turned out with lettering added in digitally by the client.  I think it turned out pretty dang good!!
