Caricatures: 50th Wedding Anniversary



This week I got a last-minute caricature job: a 50th wedding anniversary gift.

Because I live in Wisconsin, it's probably my fourth Packers-themed caricature this year. Who knows how many Packer caricatures I've done in my lifetime... maybe 2.8 billion-ish. I lost count.

Anyway, I still know nothing about football but I can whip out a cartoon Lambeau Field like nobody's business.


Happy Anniversary Pat and Jan!

First Portrait Commission...and Mad Men!

I've been working on my first portrait commission of a little boy. The painting is gift so I won't load any pictures of it until his birthday has passed. (Although I doubt any toddlers look at my blog, considering they can't read or comprehend much. He might be one of those genius babies who can read those Baby Einstein flash cards though, so I'll play it safe.)

 ALSO: Season 3 of Mad Men starts Sunday! I don't watch much TV but I'm a nerd for this show. To illustrate how nerdy, I Mad-Men'd myself at MadMenYourself.com. That's me in the purple. It's the closest I'll ever get to my man Donald Draper*.
