Ballerina Bat Mitzvah

My first gig after returning from the always inspiring 2014 ISCA convention was a pretty pink-themed bat mitzvah celebration, for which I had been booked well over a year in advance. The elegant rooms at the country club venue were decorated with the bat mitzvah girl's dance attire. She herself was quite adorable!

 I drew a mixture of kids and adults. This boy was game!!!

This gentleman told me this was his first caricature, and that he'd always wanted one when he saw artists drawing in NYC. He got his wish and then some! :-)

His daughter enjoyed watching the process, (after I'd drawn her, of course) and even posted this pic on Instagram:

Thanks to Gigmasters, and Abby and her family for having me! :-)

Update 12-8-14: I'm very grateful to my client, Abby's mom, who left me some very nice feedback on Gigmasters:

Emily was a pleasure to work with and my guests were very excited about the caricatures they took home with them. She is extremely talented and I would absolutely use her services again if the opportunity were to arise.
