Caricatures for Staff Appreciation Day

It was great being part of Staff Appreciation Day for the Greater Edmonton Foundation and Seniors Housing. It was nice hearing how much they really enjoy their job and were enjoying the recognition for their work.

Greater Edmonton Foundation Seniors Housing is the largest not-for-profit registered charity providing subsidized senior’s housing in Alberta. Their mission is to provide friendly, affordable, secure housing and services for seniors in the Edmonton community.

I hope you enjoy looking through the various caricatures I’ve done. Caricatures are drawn in just a few minutes but hopefully it brings back pleasant memories of the day they received it for years to come.

Edmonton Oilers Pond Hockey Thank You card

I always enjoy doing art for Edmonton Oilers Thank You card. This is my latest design for a card that was to go along with Edmonton Oiler mittens.  I believe the proceeds were going to a good cause.

Window Painting for Shoppers Drug Mart

I was in at the Shoppers Drug Mart (7469 101st Ave, Edmonton, AB T6A 3Z5) painting their windows to help advertise their promotion: Your Chance to Win $5,000. if you reduce your tobacco use this year. Their pharmacy is there for your support in kicking the habit. And wouldn’t that be great to win that! These photos were taken from inside the store in the evening.

Caricatures as a "Thank You"

I did these four caricatures for people who were instrumental in the success of the opening of the new City of Edmonton recreation facilities: Clareview Community Recreation Centre and The Meadows Community Recreation Centre.

I did something a little different with these. The facility itself is massive so instead of drawing out this grandiose building, I used a photograph placed in behind the caricature. I really like the effect!

Studio Caricatures of HDK Consulting Team

Some of my studio work: A group caricature of HDK Consulting team ~ A caricature going up on one of their office walls. Individual carixatures were also supplied. It was a really enjoyable project. They had lots of great character and I enjoyed doing the layout for the group caricature in a row instead of layering them in rows. This way, everyone stands out!

Caricatures for Westcorp

I was asked to draw caricatures for an afternoon event at one of Westcorp’s buildings near the University of Alberta. The Events Coordinator is always thinking up interesting events to bring the residents together. On this day she had me there drawing caricatures and had an awesome spread of delicious food in their party room. It sure seems like a great place to live! Here are a couple of my favourite caricatures from the day. These ones really make me smile.

Some More Face Painting at the Edmonton RV Expo

I Met some cute kids and sent them off with some fun face painting at the RV Show!

Just so you know,  I didn’t know the Pittsburgh Penguins logo by heart, their mom googled it and showed it to me. The little boy was happy I could do it for him.

For the girl with the swirls on her face, she said to just surprise her. I wanted to compliment her black glasses so I think the black swirls went really nice with her glasses.
