Wedding at the Biltmore Estate

I always enjoy drawing at weddings in the Spring. Especially at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Here are a few of my drawings at Brittany's and Brad's wedding.

Here is the original photo of the wedding couple holding their caricature (photo by Regina Holder).

University of North Carolina Asheville Caricatures

Drawing caricatures ay UNCA of Asheville.

Caldwell Community College Caricatures

I draw at a lot of colleges in the Spring. Here are some live caricatures from a recent event.

Lodge Watercolors

Commissioned watercolors for the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain,NC.

Apple Portrait

A more formal portrait. I did exaggerate the features subtly to bring out her personality. Rendered with Faber Castell PITT markers and black pencil. Altered the rendering in Photoshop.

New Marker

I am trying out a new marker for my live caricature sketches. On the left is the Markette Dixon marker which I have been using for the past five years. The other marker is the Fine Tip Chartpak marker that I am giving a try. These caricature drawings were made with the Chartpak marker. It does not dry out as quickly as the Markette and I can get a variety of line widths. I did find the tip of the Chartpak is not as flexible as the Markette.

Valentines Weekend Caricatures

I draw caricatures at the Grove Park Inn Hotel & Spa. Yesterday I drew a few couples who were celebrating Valentines.

Watercolor Art Show

From February 6th to the 28th I will be showing my watercolor paintings at the First Congregational United Church of Christ Art Gallery. Their address is 20 Oak Street Asheville 28801. I will be at the official opening on February 6th after the Sunday service around 11:30AM.

Butterflies and a motorcycle

This is a commissioned caricature I finished at the end of the year. A couple were riding their motorcycles on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She rode through a swarm of butterflies and one got inside her helmet. The client wanted the rendering to illustrate the event. The size is 11' by 14" and was painted in watercolors.

2010 Las Vegas ISCA Convention

While at the International Society of Caricature Artists convention in Las Vegas I filmed the artists and their artwork. This video is 40 minutes I reduced down to this 15 minute film. Click twice onto the video to watch it full size at Youtube.

November Caricatures

November and December is the time of year I draw at holiday parties and events. Here are a few recent live caricatures.
