We’re back in October, me catching up again. Here are some of the drawings of kids at that as-close-to-perfect-picnic –as- you- can -get for the Intelligrated Company in Bollingbrook. (Earlier posts about this picnic, see Nov 8, 9, and 24.)———————————————————————————————- [...]

The party in Marengo was on Friday. The next day on Saturday I was back on I-90, again heading towards Rockford and getting very close…Belvidere, which means something like “beautiful view.” It was, indeed, all about beautiful views. The hostess organizes some four thousand women in the mid-west who hold parties in their homes to [...]
EXTRA! EXTRA! RIOT IN MARENGO!

I did a lot of map-questing to find this town. It’s way up near the Wisconsin border. They even had snow up there while we in Chicago were still a little green. I used this city-country theme to rile them and explained my humor as being from the “big city, you know.” I would use [...]
18th Birthday in Rolling Meadows

Janet invited nine friends for her 19th birthday party and her mom thought a leisurely pizza-and-salad lunch– with a caricaturist!– would be the way to celebrate. So there I was, in this well-appointed, spacious family room, drawing these smart, caring young women. I could easily have drawn them all in an hour—in black and white. [...]

I was drawing the woman with the big smile. She was directing her great-granddaughter on how to sit. I said, the girl didn’t have to sit in any particular way, at least not until it was her turn. Great-grandma half-jokingly informed me that she was ninety-two and at her age she could do and say [...]
American Eagle Party at Rosemont Convention Center

This was a well-planned event, with me being booked three months before. The grand ballroom at the Rosemont CC is huge and the hallways reminded me that we now have seven billion people on the planet—might as well plan for them showing up some evening. The band played Roaring Twenties tunes with a sweet clarinet, [...]
Holiday Party at Trump Towers

The spectacular view from the 16th floor of Trump Towers (Wabash and Kinzie) is matched by the elegance of the interior space where this party for the toy inventors at Lund & Co was held. Orchids set against bronze textures, extravagantly large spaces all around. A cello and piano duo on the far side of [...]
