Last week was busy to say the least - preparing for Erie's Summer Festival of the Arts, settling matters with a web client, and drawing caricatures. In the midst of this I agreed to draw a family. No big deal, right? How hard is that? Right...Try 15 family members, candid photos to work from, and two days to complete it. My office quickly moved from upstairs to the living room. If I was going to be indoors, I was going to do it in style!
The family tree was drawn on paper with pen, scanned, and colored in Photoshop. I'm pleased with the results, but what matters most is the Hortons LOVED it.
These kind of jobs are certainly worth it. It's always rewarding to see the joy in people receiving a caricature. It's a pleasant reminder of why I do what I do.

Thanks Kat! I wish would have seen them receiving the gift in person, but the pictures were actually taken by a friend. Thanks for the kind words. God Bless!
