Halloween

Well, I can't be posting photographs while I'm painting.
Especially around Halloween time - I was so busy with
so many events.

So my photos just hang around here - til I get a chance
to look at them. I remember these - it was when I was preparing
for a Corporate Halloween Event. The striped eyes were designed
for a private-party. But the pumpkin was designed in desperation
because my Corporate client actually thought they were helping me -
by providing me with Halloween clip-art and telling me to let the
people choose from the clip-art. I figured that I'd better figure
out ways to 'make the clip art into face-paintings'. This photo
shows something that I could do if they chose the little picture
of the pumpkin. (All that was in the clip-art was the round pumpkin
with the stem and the black-features - like I'd need that to know how
to draw a pumpkin??? Yeow)

It's so cold in January

My friend up in Canada emailed me about a heated plastic bubble in which he does Caricatures on the street. Now that I'm always working indoors because it is so cold in NY, I'm wishing I had a plastic bubble like his. I like meeting the people right on the street - people who would just be passing me by if I wasn't offering them anything.

I had a chance just now to look through pictures of some of the people I spent time with last summer - people I had painted. Here's a few of those beautiful people. These are the times of our lives:
