I was hired to draw caricatures for a birthday party, and the client asked if I would draw Mick Jagger as a special present for her hubby, because they both "love" him.  She wanted my b/w party style with just his tongue colored, reminiscent of the Stones famous album cover, but it looked rather odd, so I just decided to color the whole thing.  Prisma  is a very quick way to color, as opposed to my time consuming watercolor pieces.

Nancy, a loyal client from Indiana requested a caricature of her dentist, Dr Tyree, who specializes in child care.  Apparently he works on adults as well, but I'm assuming don't get the same benefits, as  Nancy mentioned her jealousy of all the kids who get nitrous oxide to calm them as they get their teeth worked on (hence the contraption over the nose) while Disney's 'Cars' plays in the background.  She wanted those elements depicted in the caricature, and of course, the requisite toothbrush also makes it's appearance, which must always be happy and showing off perfect teeth!

Commission from a couple sending a postcard announcement for their wedding in the Dominican Republic.

I  just finished this commission of a mother's two baseball playing sons to give their father for a birthday present.

My mom always sends a new calendar every Christmas with all the families birth dates and ages filled in.  She is having her birthday this week and conveniently left HER age off the calendar this year, so that was my inspiration for her birthday card.  Hopefully she will have a sense of humor over this one, haha!   

Freddie is in charge of the trainers at the LA Fitness club I sweat, grunt, groan, and suck air at, and he wanted me to draw the son of his friend for a Mother's Day present.  Instead of pay, he gave me a couple of training sessions in exchange.
