I was commissioned to do a caricature of this conductor who apparently sweats pretty heavily as he does his thing. It is the first time I've done one of these in pen and ink with an ink wash. The client decided on B/W to keep the cost down, but I still put a lot of time into the piece. It was a rush job, and since my car was in the shop getting it's transmission rebuilt, I couldn't get to the art store and had to use the paper I had available. I didn't get the smooth blends that I usually get with watercolor paper, so it looks a bit rough and the brush strokes can really be seen, but then I decided I liked the textures which kind of adds to the movement and splashy feel of the flying sweat, and whatever movement of light and audience that could be going on in the background.

Election time for Governor of California between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman. This is my first attempt at all digital drawings with Photoshop on my Wacom tablet. The learning curve can be a bit frustrating, but it's nice not to have eraser shards spread all over and a garbage full of paper crumpled in frustration. It's also great to use the tools to make instant changes to get the effect I want. It still took me a long to complete these. Again; the learning curve, but I like how they turned out.

The next in line of my wedding caricatures. It's sometimes hard to get good photos of the subjects, but I always do the best I can under the circumstances. I love his funky outfit with theyellow Converse shoes.

This was a commission for a plastic surgeon, Dr. Retson who does a lot of charity reconstruction surgery for kids in Bolivia at his own expense, taking his own staff, equipment and supplies. He is fond of Coke and Snickers, so I incorporated them with his love of his occupation.

I have been offering a color caricature to couples who hire me to draw for their wedding reception. I neglected to take a picture of the first one, but this is the second.

Robin the Clown, one of my entertainment agents asked me to draw their puppet Jay R for a logo they are working on for a website. I did both a B/W and color version. Here are the end results. They are designing lettering to go with it.

Red Cross Pasadena asked me to draw a group caricature to hang up on the wall. This, along with a short blurb about me went into their regional monthly newsletter.
