Yesterday's event was a lot of fun. Celebrating Fathers Day at the
John Janzen Nature Centre drawing caricatures for dads and their kids.
Just before I set up for the event I got a twitter (
@hilaurel) message that someone was definitely going to come down to the event that day. So, a couple hours into drawing one lady who's turn it was, said to me, "I have to tell you, I follow you on twitter and I'm a big fan of yours." I asked her her twitter name. Yup, her's was the message I'd read. Her family was wonderful and I so enjoyed chatting with them while I drew them. I joked with her that I wish she hadn't told me she was a big fan until AFTER I finished drawing her, that she'd put extra pressure on me! I also found out that her and her husband used to do a radio show in Edmonton that I had listened to. It was strange listening to them talk when their voices were so familiar to me!
Here are some of the caricatures that made me smile, including a photo of Jamie and Dan who I just talked about ...
