Caricatures Done In My Party Style

These caricatures are of friends and family, drawn live in under five minutes just as I would at an event. When you click on an image you'll see a photo of the person along with a larger version. I have many more examples to upload of me working and quicksketches of celebrities, too. Enjoy!

Here's a larger version of the black and white self-portrait you see to the left. I suppose I could have used a mirror and drawn myself at a party, but I opted to use the photo you see there, yet still draw it fast!
This is my beautiful wife, Birte. I drew her and snapped this photo of her standing up. That's our dog, Strider hiking with her. He wasn't there so I had to draw him from memory. Pets are fun to draw, but present their own challenges!
My brother, NIck, and his boxer, Chopper. Yes, those are caricatured tattoos on his arms. I went for an unusual perspective on his prized Cadillac that he's hanging out of.
These are my in-laws visiting from Germany so I went for the 'touristy' look, enjoying a coffee with the Roanoke Star in the background.
An example of a theme for someone who has wild kids or works with kids all day. This good friend works at a daycare.
Poses similar to this one always generate laughs among fellow employees as someone always shouts "That looks about right!" - Great for those who are a bit shy.
These friends work at UPS, but also love the outdoors. This one is a bit more detailed - usually done at smaller events.
Some people have detailed requests, especially in a summer-oriented theme such as this. I am always happy to take on the challenge - especially with a crowd watching!

Commissioned Studio Caricatures

I am also available to create custom full-color or black and white studio caricatures for you. There are many ways to do this. I'll be uploading a better description soon. For now, here are a few examples:

This job was a collaberation with the customer. She created this wonderful poem which I incorporated into this gift caricature for her personal trainer. As you can see, I'll include all of the details you can provide!
This job was a fun one. First, the business hired me to draw for one hour at an employee get-together where I drew these quick caricatures, which they also got to keep.
Step two of this job was to scan in all of the faces and the draw in a background for the group caricature.
The resulting studio caricature which was presented to the boss who was moving away. Lot's of fun!

I Don't ONLY Draw Big Heads

I believe that we are all artists in some form or another. I also believe that no artist ever works entirely in one medium. Here's a small sample of some other types of art that I do:
