DOUG SHANNON caricature artist

The artist was invited, along with the indefatigable Marc Schmid, to entertain the wedding guests at a speakeasy sort of club in the theater district called Bourbon and Branch—the branch refers to the juniper bush, I am guessing, an essential ingredient of gin, which is the other specialty of the house. The guests were from all over the map, and caricature was a great way for people to open up a bit and get to know each other. I was stationed strategically adjacent to the martini bar, while Marc did his stalking thing, so we had it covered—nobody left unscathed, so to speak.
