I woke up remembering that I promised to make change in 2017. I promised that I would participate. I promised myself to think that I am still young. I walked the 6 miles from Oak Park to the Capitol Building. And I carried on my back my gift to the people: 2 chairs, an easel, paper, and some pens and colors. I am ready to share my gift of caricature art with the many faces of Sacramento in honor of Dr. King.
Sometimes, the volume of guests at an event is more than one artist can handle. I am able to find mulitple artists to support the flow of faces looking for a Live Caricature. Each artists has a different take on cartooning the guests, which makes for a wonderful discussion on the primary features that individualizes us all. Caricature artists might call this looking the exaggeration from the average.
One of my favorite questions to ask at Live Caricature events is, "Have you been drawn together before?" I am always amazed to hear the reasons to bypass caricature at fairs, boardwalks, theme parks, and the such. But, I'm also equally excited to be the first to hook them into my passion for seeing the self in cartoon form.
It can be an oddly, lonely time during the holidays for a caricature artist. I go from one event to the next, and I can barely remember the people that I've entertained for hours. Then, every once in a while, an event has folks that are inviting, beyond the standard expectations. Sometimes, they share a drink, and even bring you into a game or two. The respect I have for those who plan for the enjoyment of all participants.
