Catagorized


It was a neighborhood party and all but two of  my drawings were of children which is fine. It's work, right? However, as thankful as I am for the job, I felt a bit under appreciated not only by the children, too young to appreciate art, but more so by the ungrateful and at times rude parents. I couldn't help but get the sense that so many of the parents were angry. I was just stuck by what appeared to be an angry demeaner. 

I also felt a bit under utilized as I was next to a balloon clown and a face painter. The event was booked by Twist it up Balloons, an event planner I've worked with for several years, and this is her major clientele so I should expect this flavor. Twist it Up is the only event planner providing me with gigs since the start of the pandemic as the others have either gone out of business or started a new line of work. 

This event plays into my desire to seek out clients who have deeper pocketbooks and are willing to pay for a higher quality of art as well as the outfitting of me as a digital caricaturist.
