<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo below was a fun drawing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The guy called me a couple days before </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday and said he wanted to propose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to his girl friend and use a caricature to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is more common than you think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you still hear the crowd watching</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
saying what a creative way to propose.</div>

As a caricature artist doing retail, people get </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drawn for many different reasons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At Market Square you are assigned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a location 10'X10' to set up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My location was behind the pillar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and with my 10 X10 or even the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
smaller 6X6 canopy. I could not have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it far enough out where the walking traffic </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
could see my signage because we</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
could not be set up in/on the fire lane.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFUOVdKTvif2knSvv5nklAcMcJdPaN9Jzzx5HY63-ncVmzyLVVOs_diZElOK83oLm0j6yRm9RqwW0V8B25L19RhkCb261fJPA9CY_IDwJHQfpFYcetDHW9Tn4oriolKrqG0uUx8TFK6fqC/s1600/Fan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFUOVdKTvif2knSvv5nklAcMcJdPaN9Jzzx5HY63-ncVmzyLVVOs_diZElOK83oLm0j6yRm9RqwW0V8B25L19RhkCb261fJPA9CY_IDwJHQfpFYcetDHW9Tn4oriolKrqG0uUx8TFK6fqC/s320/Fan.JPG" width="222" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I took my 6X6 and made it into</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a 4X4 and move it in front of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the pillar and the exposure is great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus, it is not past the line what they call the fire lane.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUAeb_aGOCXR5et9tldD2kYrnO41VmvL76KjV0jUlaH6tUPoGHmHWW6MEk8Pyx8LG5sYgkzxdQkiEKsMsFZmCQVv_fXnOQMWgsMAv-MQ-AE4pRenwtr1wLgzv9jDdeKourqjWSDyb8c26q/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUAeb_aGOCXR5et9tldD2kYrnO41VmvL76KjV0jUlaH6tUPoGHmHWW6MEk8Pyx8LG5sYgkzxdQkiEKsMsFZmCQVv_fXnOQMWgsMAv-MQ-AE4pRenwtr1wLgzv9jDdeKourqjWSDyb8c26q/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also hang a fan from the ceiling of the canopy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the Texas Summer weather being in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 degrees, my customers seem to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like it and relax a lot more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I jokingly call it my ceiling fan.</div>

Years ago I enjoyed drawing and painting </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still life setups.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Foster paperback art books had </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a book called Secrets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It showed a lot about </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shadows, reflections, and even</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
water drops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used this book a lot. It made </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you observe what you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were drawing or painting and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
add that little extra.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When drawing a caricature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looking at a person's face and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seeing features/colors/tones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is all just observing what is there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are 2 families that wanted to be drawn on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the same sheet of paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I prefer drawing one face per sheet, because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can work a little larger on the face and get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a lot features that make that person unique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I think the cost per sheet of paper is the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
same whether I draw 1 person or 7 people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At $10 per face.... I am more than happy to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
draw groups.</div>

Two ladies came walking thru Market Square, one carrying</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the Gnome for Travelocity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They said she worked for Travelocity in Dallas,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and was in San Antonio seeing the different things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that peaked their interest on what a person can</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
see and do in San Antonio.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my work is in Black and White,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so when the customer wants color it's a nice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
change of pace.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The one I drew did not want her glasses on,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I drew them on the plastic bag....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These two young ladies are sisters. Like a lot of times,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one does not want to get drawn until they see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what a caricature is.</div>
