End of 2015 Silhouettes and Caricatures

-
These are pics of the last two gigs I did in 2015! Plus a great video on how to cut silhouettes and a very informational video on caricaturing tools! Now I'm ready to use my off season to drum up some new gigs for the 2016 Spring, Summer, Fall and Holiday Season! I'm very excited about a Wedding Vendor Mixer I'm going to in a week in Portsmouth, Maine, sponsored by www.gayweddingsinmaine.com! Hope to line up some wedding gigs for my silhouetting OR caricaturing or even both!
A Silhouette I cut  in about five minutes at Sarah Orne Jewett House in the middle of south Berwick, ME during their Home For The Holidays Christmas Celebration in early December 2015.
My table set up with my silhouette display at historic Sarah Orne Jewett House in South Berwick, ME.

Here's a great you tube video on cutting Silhouettes by Cindi Rose!
A caricature I did from someone's cell phone at a Christmas Craft Fair in 2015!
I worked from two different photos and did a composite drawing.

Three ladies I did a caricature of, for the Gorham Bank Christmas Party held in Portland, ME in Dec. 2015.

I've been looking into finding better drawing tools to use for my caricaturing. 

Here's a helpful you tube video on Caricaturing supplies!

Tree of Religion Illustration- Happy Holidays!

I'm still cleaning out my portfolios and I recently found a booklet I illustrated once about Religion in the USA. I was living in Connecticut at the time. It was entitled Religion USA and was produced by a company called Happy History, Inc. It's goal was to celebrate the diversity of religions that were present in the area at that time. These are some of the religious symbols I was asked to draw for the book. I thought it would be fun to share these during the Holiday season. I was asked to draw this as a symbol of the Baha'i concepts on the Oneness of Religion. Torah- Judiasm Christian Cross Menorah-Judiasm This symbol- the Crown of Thorns was included in the book as a Christian Science symbol Another pretty Menorah Happy Holidays!

Here's my new submission for Illustration Friday! The Theme for this week is Wild. I thought it would be fun to have Little Red Riding Hood actually walking away from the wolf. She has a wild smile on her face, don't you think! http://illustrationfriday.com/
