Well fam, While I was waiting for a client (who never showed) for a zoom meeting, I drew a caricature of myself. I wish I looked this cool in real life...

Samax's ART PARTY ROAD SHOW Continues

I forgot to share these Art Party pics from last week!

I forgot to share these Art Party pics from the store opening I worked in Fair Park last week! They hired me for face painting, but no one was into it.   But my sign also offered Caricatures, and once people started getting them, I stayed busy the whole time! It was SUPER COLD that morning, but it was one of the busiest store openings I've ever worked at! This is the first store opening I worked for this client that was in a downtown area with lots of foot traffic, and they had a secret weapon: A BOUNCE HOUSE!

Some of my best caricatures ever?

I took my Art Party gear on the road again this weekend, this time for two caricature engagements... sorta.

Hey fam, I took my Art Party gear on the road again this weekend, this time for two caricature engagements. Friday I worked a Valentine's Day Party at Central Presbyterian Church in Woodway,TX My sister Carla helped me book the Valentine's Day party, so she got a free caricature!  Click the photo to enlarge the drawing. Here's some more caricatures from the party:

Spent my Saturday painting and drawing on faces

I took my Art Party gear on the road and painted faces at a store opening on Saturday

Hey fam, One of my clients is a party promoter who books me for live events.  At his request, I added Face Painting to my Live Art Party arsenal in 2022, and he has had recurring work for me.    I took my Art Party gear on the road and painted faces at a store opening on Saturday. We got off to a great start with this cutie pie...

Start the day off RIGHT w/ Big Daddy Kane

Who Flattop Rules in '89?

[Daily Sketch] I drew a lady WITHOUT an afro, fam 😵

Also, I was invited to a big art competition

I drew this caricature of my fellow freelancer Krista Willmorth during a video conference with her Monday afternoon. Krista by Samax Amen Crayola markers on 110 lb paper I  actually draw caricatures all the time of people who never see them.  The only reason Krista will see this one is because I decided to share this as the Daily Sketch for Monday.

fam... John Oliver WENT IN on my old J. O. B.

ChampBackers Caricature #16 @MarshallPlex

Drawing my wife again...

 Here's a cartoony caricature drawing I did of my wife Friday night while she was out at the movies. For the first step, I drew the original piece with a crappy ball point pen [I love drawing with crappy ball point pens...] on a regular sheet of copy paper...

ChampBackers Caricature #14- Kristina Florita

My friendship with Kristina Florita goes all the way back to the MySpace Era. I can't tell you how many times her off-center sense of humor boosted me out of my sensitive art nerd malaise.... Even though our relationship is internet-based, I consider Kristina a real friend. So it didn't surprise me THAT much when Kristina jumped on the Champion of Children Kickstarter campaign. As one of the first 30 backers, she earned this caricature below...

ChampBackers caricature #13- Khalid Birdsong

ChampBackers caricature #12- Pharoah Bolding

 I can't remember if I backed Pharoah Bolding's Kickstarter for The Dot#1 first, or if he backed Champion of Children first. Whatever the case, he was one of the first thirty backers of the Champ, so he earned himself this caricature!

ChampBackers #11 -The O'Bryans

 I love the O'Bryans. I have known Jim and Carmen for about ten years, and in that time they have been very supportive of my work. When we announced the Champion of Children Kickstarter, they were quick to help...

champBackers caricature #10 J.R. LeMar

 Drew another ChampBackers caricature today. This one is of my internet friend, comicbook writer, and blogger J.R. LeMar.

ChampBackers #9- @CalSlayton

This is a drawing of Cal Slayton, one of the vaunted First 30 backers of the Champ Kicktstarter campaign (yeah, you missed it. The book will be out soon). As one of the First 30, Cal earned himself this free caricature...

ChampBackers caricature #8- Jamel Jones

Champion of Children Volume 1: I'm Known as the Champ will go to print soon, and will start landing in readers' hands in a few weeks or so. It wouldn't be possible without people like Jamel Jones...

ChampBackers #7- Lisa Bohannon

I have known Lisa since high school. She's one of the only people to keep up with me through all the stages and weird turns my life has taken. She probably bought all the original issues, but she was nice enough to jump on the Champion of Children Kickstarter campaign too, which I appreciate big time! But then, maybe she just did it for the free caricature...

ChampBackers #6- Cathy Hutchison
