Although 20º is not an easy feat in front of the lake for hours on a Sunday; however, the music, the entertainment, the energy, the community, the families- It really makes it all worth it. I’ve been drawing live caricatures at this Annual Winter Carnival in Alton, NH for several years, and it just keeps getting bigger and better. It’s amazing when I have families sit down, reminding me of our interaction the year before and how they are excited to have a new and updated annual caricature from me.

A true nostalgic experience as I visit year after year drawing caricatures of families who grow and fill the community with love, laughter and fellowship. I am really proud to be a part of it.

Many of the college students at this event were art majors, which made it interesting to talk with them about art and artist things. It makes me proud when I draw at an art school, because not only do the students get their very own caricature to take home, but they see an artist working in their career element and learn more about what it takes to become a caricature artist and what it’s like to be one.

I just loved the branding this college dining hall did for their event, and the indoor branding art was spectacular. As a graphic designer, these things always stand out to me. I am always looking at art around me, whether at a party or event, or something else. The environments make half the experience when I’m booked on a caricature gig. The people, for sure, are the other half.
