Spooky Empire's "Ultimate Horror Weekend" was amazing!!! Drawing Zombie Caricatures this weekend was the most fun I have ever had drawing at an event. Being that we were drawing Zombies, we had total freedom to exaggerate as much as we wanted. And the crowd loved it.

Working with Sean Gardner was awesome. He's one of the few artist that I work with, that knows what a real caricature is. He exaggerates to the extreme. His likeness is always on. And he pushes me to do better. Thank you Sean for inviting me out to draw with you this weekend.

Below are some caricatures we did at "Ultimate Horror Weekend". I was only able to take two pictures of mine because I don't have a camera. The top two are mine and the rest are Sean's. Enjoy...

Tales from New York...

Hey guys. I'm at Canal Fest here in Tonawanda, New York. This is where I met Dave.

Say Hi Dave! Dave was a reject. Dave tried to tell me what to draw and I ignored him. He sat in my chair acting all ghetto and hard with his man boobs. When I showed him the sketch he got upset. "I tol you not to make my hea aw big!" I explained to him that he doesn't have the option to tell me what to draw. And that I'm here to make fun of him. Dave got mad and left.

So I decided to put Dave up as a demo. Little did I know, Dave was a local Celebrity. Not really, but a lot of people new him. For the next 3 days random people would come to the stand laughing. "Yo dog, that's Dave. Yeah, I know Dave". "Awe snap, Look is Dave." "Hey I know that guy, it's Dave." "Dave the prez of my car club."

So Dave became the mascot of the Fair.

I figured Dave got word that his sketch was hanging up at the stand so I took it down. I didn't want people to steal him. So now he's the RV mascot. Every time we leave the RV we say bye to Dave by smacking him in the face.
