The client needed four caricaturists for this event, and although this artist was booked elsewhere that evening, I secured the best talent available and handled all the details for her. The cast included Zach Trenholm, Marc Schmid, Big Al and Jon Casey, whose combined efforts were a big hit. For one stop shopping for multiple artists in the bay area, you can rely on Doug to get you what you need with a minimum of effort. One phone call plus one check equals a successful event!

The artist was invited to draw caricatures at this St. Valentines Day event which was held at the South Beach Yacht Club, for the second year in a row. Billed as the Red Moon Cabaret, the theme was French, with entertainment running the gamut from can can dancers to host Michelis Michel’ s cabaret crooning. Members, many of whom were in costume, were seated in an intimate, little round table setting and served with great flair and gusto by the staff. The caricature here is of the excellent chef and his beau. Highlights of the evening included the alluring belly dancer Rasa Vitalia and the amazing one-of-a-kind voice percussionist and beat box artist Bronkar Lee, who conquered the laws of physics, as well as the hearts of the audience.

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 caricature entertainment with her deadly accurate, somewhat more serious approach. We both drew our butts off and closed the place down.

IBEW is a friendly, family-oriented union that celebrates every year with a big shindig, complete with rock wall, BBQ steaks, a live band and Franco from Family Fun Airbrush Tattoos, who originally referred me for this gig three years ago. It was four hours of practically nonstop caricatures. Here are two of my favorite subjects.
