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.
Goofy Faces celebrated its latest retail location at the Los Angeles Zoo this past weekend just in time for Valentine's Day. Over 200 applicants applied for artist positions with our company. Only the best ones made the cut. This video features a few of the artists in action during our grand opening celebration. If you live in the LA area, be sure to drop by and see them at work on weekends in February and open daily starting in March.
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.
Goofy Faces is proud to announce our newest retail location at the National Aquarium in Baltimore! Stop by and visit us inside near the Aquarium Giftstore on the 1st level to purchase a caricature or face painting.

Everyone enjoys visiting our retail stand at the Cincinnati Zoo, including some of the wildlife. Louis the peacock likes to hang out on our roof. Also pictured here is manager David drawing caricatures and painting faces.
Recently, we decided to relocate our retail stand at the Louisville Zoo to a nice spot with shade near the elephant exhibit. Here, manager Kelly is working on a family caricature on a warm summer day. If you plan to visit the Louisville Zoo this season, find us toward the back of the zoo near the elephants and buy a one-of-kind caricature or face painting!

It's that time of year when we gear up our retail operations for our zoo locations
throughout the midwest. This week I was in Cleveland training our new artists at
the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. All 5 new artists did a great job learning about
retail caricatures in only 4 days. On Thursday, we gave them a chance to draw
the public for free so we could see them in action. Although the weather was a
bit chilly for drawing, they had a continuous crowd for over 2 hours. Zoo guests
were very pleased with their work. Some of the guests were from Belgium. They
were stranded in Cleveland due to the volcanic ash and smoke from Iceland. The
zoo allowed them to visit for free and we drew several of them for free as well.
It was fun showing them a good time while they enjoyed an extra few days
in the U.S
Goofy Faces is pleased to announce the addition of our newest retail location at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, Florida. Now visitors and members of the aquarium can have their caricature drawn while they wait every weekend until March and then daily all through the summer. This aquarium has many exciting exhibits, almost all of which are indigenous to Florida. Make sure to visit them on your next trip to the Tampa Bay Area!
