The Detroit Red Wings recently hired Goofy Faces to draw caricatures during the School Assembly Program Fundraiser held at Joe Louis Arena. Two artists drew happy school children and their parents for 2.5 hours using one of two available hockey templates.
Another Holiday Season is upon us and Goofy Faces has been very busy this year. More businesses have booked our artists for their company parties than they did a year ago. Many families have also hired us to liven up their get-togethers at home. Above are a few samples from this year's events.
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.
It's officially time to get excited for this year's annual ISCA caricature convention in St. Pete Beach, November 13th to the 18th! This marks the 20th anniversary of the one and only official caricature convention in the world.
On September 30th, 2011, Oak Pointe Church held its annual Rockfest for kids and families while Goofy Faces was hired to draw the crowd. Robert & Bil kept busy drawing kids for 2 hours. Afterwhich, everyone made their way into the auditorium for live music.
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.
Once again, Ben B. Schwartz & Sons hired Goofy Faces to drew guests at the annual Spartan Foods Trade Show at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, MI. 3 artists brought smiles to attendees for 5 hours during the show. Their booth was the busiest during the entire show.
Recently Jack Morton Worldwide hired Goofy Faces to provide caricature artists to help Chevrolet celebrate its 100th birthday at the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights. 3 artists drew guests of the event for 4 hours using 4 different pre-printed templates of some of Chevy's favorite car's. Guests got to choose which car they wished to be drawn in and the artists did the rest.
And the trend continues! We have been doing more and more weddings than any other occasion this summer! This time, Goofy Faces had 2 artists drawing at a wedding reception in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Union Ballroom. The artist were such a hit that the groom asked them both to stay longer than originally planned to make sure everyone who wanted one got their caricature drawn!
