Weekend gigs

I had three gigs this weekend that were great to work at, fantastic companies, and delightful people to draw! A couple of them were huge line-ups where it was a few quick looks at the subject, head down and try to get through as many as I could. I thank the people that stood patiently in the line-ups!

More weekend gigs

Jazz Cat

I just made this for a friend for fun.

Commission

A studio cartoon commission I was asked to do, though I've been turning down all commissions for the last few years, I'm starting to rethink them! Because I had PERFECT pictures to work with, it made it so easy. I'm going to do one more this week.

Then from this weekend on, I have three events, a couple next week, then in December I have 37 event gigs. (29 from the Festival of Lights).If you want to get real busy with event gigs, just start a home renovation (mine was re-doing all the doors in my house), then strip them all down, tear everything apart so the place is in shambles.....THEN...the jobs will come pouring in.....but it's all good!

Sandusky 2009

A couple of digital artists work their magic.

A fellow Canadian did this great piece...Yves Demers...super nice guy.

I returned home last weekend from a convention at The Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. (say that three times in a row). Caricaturists from all over the world took part in the event. A lot of talent coming out of one room. Many thanks to the ISCA board for the great job they did putting this on. I didn't do any drawing at all, it's like having a conversation....I wouldn't learn anything if I did all the talking. In this case, I just watched and took a ton of pictures. I was especially interested in the digital painting. It was also a bonus to see so many Canadians come to this con.

Convention 2009

Angie Jordan hard at work....congradulations Angie on your second place win! Love the "Star Trek" setup you had!!

I really liked these drawings that Kenny Durkin did...a lot of fun drawn in.

Apparently, Wendell's wife didn't see the humour in his new tee-shirt.....


I just wanted to try out some new pens that I won at this year's convention in Ohio (digitally painted though). The convention was fantastic...and so were the pens. More on the convention later.
