Kids Caricatures Calgary Artist, for Westjet Family Event

Had a great time drawing caricatures for some cute kids at the Westjet Family Christmas party this past weekend.
 It was held at the Telus Spark Science Center from 9am-12pm, and they had 6 caricature artists working. Here's a glimpse of some of my favourite drawings.
 
 Dominic, Pheonix & Tristan: These three brothers probably share a lot of things, including this drawing! Benjamin likes the Wii and was sooo happy that I drew him with a Wii controller. Gavin melted my heart - the look on his face when I turned the drawing around to show him what he looks like as a cartoon character. He likes soccer and dogs too. What sweethearts.

Teegan's favourite color is pink and wanted me to draw her makeup in the drawing too. Tamana was very sweet and likes purple! Reid was only 17 months old, and in talking to his mom, she said he points at lots of things since he can't speak much yet. He's like a modern Gerber Baby!

Fiona and James Caricatures, Chalk Mural & Live Drawings

Recently I worked with a lovely couple, Fiona and James on a custom Caricature.

They both love cycling (they each own three different bicycles!) and have always wanted to try a tandem bicycle as well. They were really easy to work with and really fun to get to know. Above is their completed studio drawing, and I was comissioned to draw it with chalk at Q Haute Cuisine, the location for their Wedding Reception.

Fiona and James also invited me to do live caricature drawing of their guests on their Wedding Reception evening at Q Haute.  This was an exciting opportunity for me and I really loved it! Check out some of the photos of the family and friends of the couple with their caricatures. Thank you Fiona and James for the opportunity to work with you, I had an amazing time!

The Paris Marketplace, Q Haute Chalk Mural


The Paris Marketplace - Rustic buildings with the old cobblestone roads. This sets the scene in the current chalk mural at Q Haute Cuisine. Chef Michele was a pleasure to conceptualize with.  He's such a positive creative force at this establishment!


Audra and Mike Celtic Knot Mural


I worked with Audra and Mike via email to design this mural for their wedding reception at Q Haute. She sent me copies of her wedding invitation, which had this lovely Celtic knot design with a heart in it.  Drafting up some nice typography so that their guests would not mistaken who's party they were arriving for... Audra and Mike chose the asymmetrical design of the couple drafts I sent to them. The colors in the knots reflected the lovely blue flower bundles, which had hints of green and yellow in them as well.

Thanks again and Congratulations!

Breakfast at Tiffany's, New York 1960s Themed Chalk Mural






This was a custom chalk mural done for a Breakfast at Tiffany's Bridal Shower at Q Haute Cuisine! 
What a fun theme. I recently watched the movie after hearing about this project. Crazy I haven't seen it till now. Audrey Hepburn was a darling and so was "Cat".  The poor Cat scene of him sulking in the rain was just too darn cute.

I met for tea with the sister of the bride, Natalie, along with event planner Alexandra Joy (AJ) of Pink and Honey Event Styling.  They envisioned a 1960s New York Skyline, with the famous quote from the film's theme song, Moon River. I was really glad they liked the sketches I showed to them, and thrilled at the end result.

AJ put together a blog post with incredible photos of how the event all came together. The styling and details were incredible, what a memorable celebration. I was so glad to have played a part in it.  http://blog.pinkandhoney.com/breakfast-at-tiffanys-bridal-shower/

Colorful Montage - Environment, Passion, Evolution


 
 The third drawing for Q-Haute was a montage of sketches and shapes that capture the essence of the establishment. 

- Environment - Passion - Evolution - Wine - Health - 

It was great to try the colors on the chalk wall. This drawing challenged us in reaching new heights (really I cannot reach the very top) and filled up the chalk wall the most of all the drawings to date.
