AVHS Grad Night 2009

The graduates of AVHS 2009 were very fun to work with that I lost track of time. I had a line that wouldn't quit and they were all very patient fun-loving crowd. Here's just a few of them. Congratulations Class of 2009!

Katie, the Graduate

My second full body composition. This is a commission for my classmate's daughter. It's a surprise and I hope Katie likes it.

Ellen, the Wonder Woman

Practiced on my friend who's alter ego is Wonder Woman. This was so much fun! Can't wait to start another one. This is my first full body with background attempt.

Mya

I tried my hand at digital caricature and here's the result of my first colored work... I had fun and learned a lot!

AVHS Grad Night 2008

Just now got around to posting these, my first gig doing Grad Night for my daughter's Class of 2008. The Grads were great and the night was beautiful!

Family Practice...

No, not as a doctor but as in "letmepracticeonyourface" because you love me...


Alex, my nephew who is 18 and getting ready to on a two-year mission. We don't know where yet, but I will miss him.

This is 'B' for Benjamin, the youngest of five kids, brother of Alex, Boy Scout and pianist... Good luck with your braces!

My baby sister Joan... It's a known fact that it's harder to draw beautiful people... that's why I can't do a self portrait - hah! She's a cool woman...

Jonathan! our breakdancer... he's 15 and I think he should try out at the next 'So You Think You can Dance' show.

Bob, my darling husband. I think I can do this one in my sleep because I have his face memorized... love you hon!

My mom Patricia! At 76, I bet she can outlast you in the kitchen. She's a pretty awesome Lady. She pretty much singlehandedly disciplined and brought up all 8 of her kids. She's a woman of strong values and deep genuine love for people.

Matthew... our computer whiz kid... future engineer or gamer/designer.

My sister, Mayet - my best friend, my confidante... People often mistake us for twins.

Christina, my niece, the dance expert and instructor. She walked on her tipietoes ever since she was a baby.

Discovery Kingdom Guests

Here are some of the drawings I did from May - June 2008. Some of them are just demos, others bought their demo later on, and most are paying customers. I was sooo nervous at first, afraid to offend people if I drew their lips or nose too big. My biggest challenge was drawing a body designed to the guest's specifications.

Cutest baby ever! She was such a happy girl...These girls work at the park and I did a demo for fun.
This beautiful lady is a Correctional Officer in Sacramento.







Here's me in my uniform, neon yellowgreen shirt and khakis. This guy was with his class end-of-the-year field trip and came to me just before the bus left. I had to sketch really fast...
