Caricatures for Edmonton Misericordia Hospital Staff

Fun at the Misericordia Hospital today. I had a nice time chatting with the staff while I drew them. It was impressive to hear their about their job … since I pretty much faint at the sight of blood I’m impressed with what they do. It was great to see some people I knew because I live nearby myself. This wasn’t the first time I’d drawn at The Misericordia and it was so nice to be asked back.

Caricatures at The Royal Alexandra Hospital

I drew some adorable people at The Royal Alexandra Hospital today! Here are just a few examples. I loved listening to the people in the 3 person caricature, chatting to each other while they were there. The 3 definitely needed to be drawn together, they have a fabulously hilarious working relationship. It makes me wish I had a “regular” job, working with the same people each day …. but then again, I do get to meet A LOT of neat people in my travels as I do caricatures here, there and everywhere!

Finishing up Caricatures at The Grey Nuns

I was back to finish up caricatures for the staff in one of the departments at The Grey Nuns. This was one of my favourites for sure! It was nice to go back in and see lots of friendly, familiar faces! 

So now they are going to photocopy, reduce them a bit and put them in small frames to hang up in their staff room. Should be a fun looking wall.

Interesting Things People Do With My Caricatures

I popped in at The Misericordia Hospital and they showed me one more thing they did with my caricatures …

personalized locker labels! Not only will they hang in their main hallway but they their lockers. It looked pretty neat all hanging together like that. It's great that they're having so much fun with it. A fun thing would be to see one of the lady's faces when she comes back from holidays and sees her caricature on her locker ( I did it from a photo of those who were away on holidays and the rest were done there at the hospital ).

Caricatures for a unit at The Grey Nuns Hospital

This past week I was asked to come in to do caricatures for a unit at The Grey Nuns as part of their staff moral initiative. 

This team are an important one - they sterilise all the surgical equipment. I was able to go in during the work day, although I had to be there by 7:15 a.m. mind you! I almost felt like I was working a regular work day like everyone else. I was there early to be able to hit the tail end of the night shift then get the later shift.

It was a really enjoyable day. Nice people.
