This is the fifth year the artist has been invited to help this country club celebrate their community and swim team, so I get to draw regular caricature updates of some pretty cute faces year after year. Here’s one of my favorites!



Special Event Entertainment / Lafayette

This is the artist’s third year at an annual event this mammoth health club throws for its members. It was mostly 50+ couples, my favorite demographic for traditional media caricatures, and so I had a blast, with a long line of kibbitzing, wine-sipping hecklers. I brought along Laura Gilmore as well, to round out the [...]



Charity event entertainment / Sonoma County

Food for Thought is a terrific organization that runs an organic grocery as well as  delivering food to Sonoma County AIDs patients.

Club Function / Berkeley

The National Queer Alliance threw a bash at the Berkeley City Club, where I drew caricatures for three hours. I was fine with being the only straight at the party, but it was tough being the only one over 30! BTW this was the wildest persona at the party…and the most fun to draw!
