Here is a speeded up video of me drawing the Wizard of Oz picture.
Here is a drawing I just did today of the cast from the Wizard of Oz. It’s a little more of a straight drawing than a caricature. I always loved this movie, and it was a lot of fun to draw the characters.
Here is a typical engaged customer giving me a nice clear view of his face. This was at a recentbirthday party I worked. I often have to get down on the floor and follow their face in order to get the caricature drawn. Its often a challenge, but always fun.
This is one of several pages of body ideas I created for myself. I bring them with me to events so I can use them as reference if I need to, or to help customers come up with ideas.
I just got back from a birthday party at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. I just noticed I’m wearing the same shirt I was wearing in the Library photo. Fashion faux pas!
I made this video of one of my caricatures, from start to finish. I sped it up quite a bit, so it is more fun to watch.
Here are a couple of shots from a party I recently did at a birthday party in the Bronx. Some people came back to get a second caricature. For the couple pictured (Iris and Mike), I believe I drew each of them separately also. It’s all good. I’ll do whatever makes the guests happy.

Here I am at a New York Public Library event, drawing caricatures of one little girl as her sister looks on. At this event I colored each drawing using watercolor. I have a whole system I use to reduce the chance of spilling paint. So far it works!
My wife and I went to a Frank Sinatra tribute concert yesterday at Carnegie Hall, and it inspired me to draw a caricature of Ol’ Blue Eyes. They had four singers, and the entire New York Pops Orchestra behind them.Frank was before my time (I’m not THAT old), but the music was great.
This is the type of caricature I do at parties. This one took about five minutes.
Welcome to my blog
Welcome to my caricatures blog. I’m still learning how to use this blog site, so bear with me. I’ll try to add artwork and photos, along with a little commentary, on a regular basis.
I am a caricature artist, working at parties and other events. It is as fun as it sounds, although I only do it part time. My day job is in the art department at a scarf company. It’s not bad, and occasionally it is as fun as it sounds.
As I build up more content, I’d love to hear what you think of my work, and of my blog. I’ll try to make it as interactive as possible, and have a conversation with you, the people who are kind enough to visit my blog.
Mike
