In Caricature, Color Caricatures, Live Caricatures
I drew some caricatures of my fellow managers at our Trader Joe’s BBQ on Friday. I got to take some time with these drawings as opposed to my usual rushing during a party. I needed to because these will eventually be hanging up in our store. That means I will have to look at it everyday that I work, so I better do a decent drawing with decent likeness. I was happy with the results. Everyone had a good laughs while we ate some good hamburgers.
I also had a gig during last week drawing some kiddies at a”take your son/daughter to work day.” We had a great time. I am sure the parents who had to work were pretty excited to have the kids entertained by a goofy guy drawing for a little while. I love this job!
I will be updating my galleries with some newer drawings as well and hopefully soon more in the “Of Me” gallery. Ciao!

Prismacolor markers and color sticks. Commission by email photo.
Seriously working on my new website right now. Hopefully in a couple weeks it will be up and running. This blog will still exist within the website. I will finally have a recent gallery of caricatures from parties and from commissioned work, as well as a Caricatures of Me section (I have a ton already). Look out for it!

In Art Party
Martha and I hosted an art-making/supply swap at our home. Friends came over to celebrate, create, and collaborate together. Drawing, painting, hat making, crocheting, potato printing, book making, food and music.
My friend Dave took great photos which can be seen HERE.
I also snapped a few along the way.
This needs to happen more often. Next time we plan on doing a clothing swap. Bring old clothes and trade with friends. Sew, screenprint, alter, and paint to make new clothes out of them. Probably when it gets warm out.

A holiday party a couple weeks ago. Got to draw all in color for a change.
Yes, I do have a strange way of holding the marker.
It was a great group of people, one of the most fun gigs I have ever had.

In Convention, Live Caricatures, Printmaking
Had a gig over the weekend at yet another Fall Festival. It felt good to start drawing again after a stressful, yet very pleasing move this weekend to a new house in a new town. No, not Newtown… Springfield. Finally I have my own studio space/office which will serve as my headquarters. Caricatures, screenprinting, woodblock printing, painting, and crafts. My desk will be adorned with my Dwight Schrute bobblehead. Pics will be shown someday. But for now here are some from this weekend.
And I found this picture from Emily Anthony’s blog of me cutting wood at the convention. So much carving, went right through my jeans.
I have the woodblock print in this photo, “Mick Cusimano” showing in Media, PA at a coffee shop called the Coffee Club. Stop by and see it why don’t you. Coffee, caricatures, printmaking, what more could you ever want!?!
I wood have to say this is cutting edge.
