In September and October we had a LOT of events. Andrea and I went to Maryland, drew caricatures at two county fairs and painted two murals. Then we went to Missouri, drew at a literature festival and gave a workshop on comic book creation. We had three events in Vegas while we were gone. Amanda worked at one wedding and one Elvis-themed company party. She got to draw ten guys dressed as Elvis at an Elvis Last Supper. I'm pretty jealous. And Joseph handled a raunchy birthday party for a 30-year-old.
I'll post some of the Elvis pics when I get my hands on them. Here's us at the meet-the-authors gala from the Literary Festival, and here's Andrea at the Great Frederick fair, on the rainiest, gloomiest day!

I've been working on a kid's book for the last month or so. It's called Yalu and the Puppy Room, by Brian Yates. It's being drawn in almost my usual caricature style, so it's pretty fun work for me.

It's also awfully cute. Great for the portfolio!

Here's just another one of those things you see in Vegas... Indian tourists and giant, giant porn. I challenge you to show me the same thing anywhere else in the world!

Well, you know. That guy from Twilight is so hot right now.

The link to our CartoonVegas website is there in my profile, but I thought I'd better put it here too.  It's:

Here's some new drawings based on my experiences drawing caricatures at O'sheas.  This top one will be familiar to anyone who's walked down the Las Vegas strip in the last few years.  Yes, it's exactly like that.  The bottom one is, of course, O'sheas itself.  Color to follow!

 

In late March, we opened a new caricature stand at O'sheas Casino on the Las Vegas strip!  I made these sketches to show the retail managers what different kinds of stands could look like.  The one on the top is a concept I've never seen, but imagine could work in certain locations.  We now have a stand that's modeled after this bottom drawing.
