Goofy Faces at Oakland Community College

Robert Bauer - Wednesday, January 13, 2010


For the past 2 days, Goofy Faces was on had to draw students at Oakland Community College-Auburn Hills as part of their welcome week for the new semester. Each day, Robert spent 2 hours drawing new and returning students in exchange for their contact info for the college. Not a bad trade off!  Students were happy to oblige and the student life department now has a bunch of new leads for their services.

Mitzvahs, Mitzvahs, Mitzvahs!

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, January 12, 2010


Recently, Goofy Faces was on hand to draw at both a Bar Mitzvah and a Bat Mitzvah all in one weekend.  The difference between the two is that a Bar Mitzvah is for a boy while a Bat Mitzvah is celebrated for a girl. Either way, having caricatures is always a huge hit at any Mitzvah you're planning. Goofy Faces had one artist at the Bar Mitzvah and 2 artists for the Bat Mitzvah.

Al Kaline Caricature

Robert Bauer - Sunday, December 20, 2009

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of entertaining at a private party which celebrated former Detroit Tiger, Al Kaline's 75th birthday. I took the time to prepare a personal caricature of him to give as a gift at the party. Mr. Kaline is a very gracious and kind gentleman who even signed an extra copy of the caricature so I could add it to my collection.  Happy Birthday, Al!

Caricatures of Me.

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, November 10, 2009

One of the perks of being the president of ISCA [International Society of Caricature Artists], is that I get to meet so many gifted artists who are willing to draw me during our annual convention.  Here is a small sample of the caricatures of me that I brought home from the convention this year.  Top left was illustrated by Fred Harper. Top right is Court Jones.  Lower left is Sam Viviano from MAD Magazine. Bottom right is from Tom Richmond who also illustrates for MAD Magazine. The originals are much larger than these blog versions. I will keep them and add them to my growing collection!
