This past weekend I had a terrific, if cold, outdoor two-day caricaturing gig... at the Plymouth (MI) Ice Spectacular... as an attention-getter in the Art Institute of Michigan booth. AiMich is a new art school here in suburban Detroit and is a "sister school" to my alma mater, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I've been doing caricatures now for thirty years - happily not all out doors and not all in the middle of winter - taught by the late AiP President and caricaturist John Johns. Getting to do caricatures, through the school then, was a boost to my frail ego and to my thin portfolio, and helped fill, if partially, both wallet and belly. I, literally, wouldn't have graduated if not for the extra money from the caricature gigs.
It was nice to return the favor.
