Lining up guests at the art gallery-Wedding Testimonial
Every wedding is different and sometimes it is intimidating when you don’t know the people. This wedding was really cool as they held it in an art gallery with a live band and buffet style dinner. The crowd was great to work with and we even had to extend the time due to demand. All the best to Dave and Sarah for the future and thanks for having me out to draw at your event.
Here is what they had to say:

Caricaturing Shelley Uvanile-Hesch of WTFC-Cartoon of the Week
The Story Behind the Cartoon
This week’s cartoon is a caricature for the Trucking Industry. I gave a caricature to our first presenter for a seminar series in the trucking industry and it was a big hit so I decided I would do this for all the presenters for 2017. Our second presenter was presented with the gift at the seminar on September 12th 2017. Shelley is the CEO of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada and was the keynote speaker for the event. Thank you to Shelley for a great presentation. Here are a few pics from the event.

A career influenced by Marvin-Cartoon of the Week
The Story Behind the Cartoon
If you look back on your career it is interesting to see how those early influences have played apart in life. One of my favourite cartoons from the age of around 12 was Marvin by Tom Armstrong. The strip is still available to this day and I used to copy the cartoons out of the paper. Here is one scene from a strip that I copied at the age of thirteen or so. This was how I learned to draw. Thank you to Tom Armstrong and many other great artists for playing a part in my career to this day. Enjoy!

Scheduling Your Social Media-Cartoon of the Week
The Story Behind the Cartoon
This cartoon was for an article on scheduling your social media. It is amazing to see how much content is required to keep your social media profiles up to date and interesting. Some platforms such as Twitter require multiple posts per day. The Gurus often suggest hiring a team to help. You may want to watch who the team consists of though. Enjoy!

The Social Media Rant-Cartoon of the Week
The Story of the Week
Everyday I see so many rants on social media and I often think to myself you’re just killing your career. People think that talking on social media is like talking over a cup of coffee. It may be the same but it is the same as having that rant over coffee with a news anchor and cameraman listening in. Be careful what you say, it could haunt you forever.

A Day at the Beach-Cartoon of the Week
The Story Behind the Cartoon
As a lover of the beach in the Caribbean we often see this scenario happening. Parents just want to take a break and lie on the beach so they hand their cell phones to the kids to play games and keep them quiet. The problem is when they fall into a deep sleep the kids are actually calling China. I think the kids may have the real advantage as they already have a plan in place as to what ransom they will need to keep quiet and stay put. Enjoy your Summer!

Make Your Wedding Unique with a Caricature Artist-Client Testimonial
I find as I work more weddings that they have become more of a competition as to who can have the best wedding. Having more stuff doesn’t make your wedding the best, it’s having the right stuff! The nice thing about having a caricature artist is the fact that you have someone live entertaining your guests and it comes with a unique keepsake that you will not be able to find anywhere else. I am at a wedding every weekend and the Bride’s comments below are common after the event. Congratulations to Lindsey and Andrew and all the best for the future.

Step up your next party-client testimonial
Have you ever been to one of those parties where people stand around in the garden? They may look like nice parties but may not be much fun. This couple knows how to throw a party, and did I mention it was in the driveway? That’s right my friends, food trucks, pizza buffet, caricature artist, music, and much more. This party was happening and totally surprised guest of honour Mike who I heard napped through the whole set up. Congrats Stellina for pulling that off!
Here is what the customer had to say:
