The French Laundry throws an annual party for all its foodie friends and they invited me to draw caricatures. Here are two shy lovelies. I also drew their parents too, and they were pretty good looking themselves,

Saltbranding dreams up brand identities for the products we buy—”Vista” for Microsoft for example. They took over a room at the E&O Trading Company for the evening, where I drew caricatures. This picture demonstrates why I need to be careful about drawing women in the nude—the guy often looks happier about it than she does.

This gentleman was the honoree at a family and friends affair held at The Richmond, a new and excellent restaurant walking distance from the DeYoung. Drawing the birthday boy alone was the worth the trip, he is a rare spirit and an intoxicating conversationalist. As a bonus I got to draw his charming, brilliant [...]

Jeannie Schultz, wife of the great man himself, threw a party for her grand daughter and I was invited to draw caricatures. Jeannie volunteered to be the shill to get things started and here are the results. Sparky hit gold with Peanuts no doubt, but he hit Platinum when he snagged this lady.
