It’s that time of year again.  School supplies, new classes, new teachers…  Welcome Back to all the students!

Marshall Co. Fair in Warren Minnesota.  You betcha!  I really had a great time!

Although Kids’ Days events are a popular place for caricatures, there is no age limit on being a kid.  Here are some kids that I drew during Janesville Days, in Janesville, Iowa.

My busiest month has arrived.  July:  The month of summer festivals and county fairs.  Kids and adults alike love to get drawn. These drawings take less than 5 minutes each.  Let me know if you want me to draw at your event!

I take my little portable drawing table, grab a couple of folding chairs and set up camp.  Along come the people and I’m busy for hours.

I now have walk-in caricatures available at my new studio at the First Street Community Center (second floor) in Mount Vernon, Iowa.  I don’t have a regular schedule at this point, but please feel free to come poke your head in,  and of course you can always set up an appointment.  It takes about 15 minutes per person.  I do pets as well!

$20 for a single color (does not apply to custom drawings and custom gift caricatures).

Tell me you saw my website for $5 off a walk-in caricature!

“Ignite” events are like geek parties, (the good kind of geek, the kind I would like to be).  My steady employer VRAC (Virtual Reality Applications Center) invited me to draw digital caricatures at the Ignite Ames event. (http://www.igniteames.org/2010/)  Which concluded the WinVR conference, an IT conference.  It was awesome, I had a great time!  I didn’t get to participate but I could listen to great entertainment like powerpoint karaoke.  That, my friend, is when there are random powerpoint slides and the speaker has to link them together as if he knows what he’s talking about.

These are some of the digital caricatures.

I really haven’t disappeared from the face of the Earth…just the face of Iowa.  For those of you who do not know, I am spending a few months drawing with the artists at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.  It’s been a great experience so far.  I’m having a great time.  I especially like the 70 degree days in January.  It’s the slow season currently, so I am also enjoying all the rides and attractions that Universal has to offer.  Here are a few examples of my work.  They are graphite and airbrush.
