ISCA Caricature Convention 2011

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, December 20, 2011

This year's annual caricature convention was a very special one. The International Society of Caricature Artists celebrated it's 20 anniversary at the Tradewinds Resort on St. Pete Beach, Florida. Over 125 artists attended and competed for the top awards in the caricature business. This was my first convention in 6 years in which I was simply an attendee after serving on the board since 2005. It was nice to have time to draw for a change as well as get drawn by many other talented artists. My theme for my gallery this year was "If I were Batman...". The samples shown here are some funny versions of a few artist friends of mine who have also worked for Goofy Faces in the past.

Goofy Faces Caricatures at Art & Apples 2011

Robert Bauer - Monday, September 26, 2011

It's Autumn once again and that means it's time for the annual Art & Apples Festival in Rochester, Michigan. This marked the 8th year in a row that Goofy Faces was there to draw attendees and promote our services. For the 2nd straight year, guest artist Glenn Ferguson was there to help draw faces for 3 days. Kids and families enjoyed their caricatures. Even Hardcore Pawn star, Les Gold stopped by to see us at work.

Art & Apples 2010

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, September 14, 2010
 

Once again, Goofy Faces was drawing caricatures at the Art & Apples Festival in Rochester, MI. This year, guest-caricature artist, Glenn Ferguson was in town from Orlando, FL to help Robert draw and entertain guests of the festival. Glenn draws caricatures at Universal Studios, Orlando full-time so people got a chance to see some awesome work right here in Michigan. The 3-day affair was a lot of fun, minus the rain on Saturday.

ISCA Convention Gone MAD

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Last week, I had the pleasure of welcoming 4 outstanding artists from MAD Magazine at this year's annual ISCA caricature convention. Pictured here from left to right are Herman Meija, Sam Viviano, myself, Mark Frederickson and Tom Richmond. Each gave wonderful presentations about their art and careers and lots of anecdotes about working for MAD Magazine.  This year's annual convention took place at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. Tom and Sam were even kind enough to draw me during the convention which I will post here separately.
