Chemists Party at Hollyhock Hill

That was last December, actually, but I’m only just now catching up on my posts.  What a great party!  IUPUI Chemistry professors and their families huddled together at the cozy Hollyhock Hill restaurant on College Ave near 82^nd.  Other chemists there worked in industry—like beer production.  You can see one of those walking along with a dripping beer glass. Here’s to Sun King Brewery!

I drew thirty-six of these peppy people in three hours.

Christmas Party near Touhy

When I arrived, everybody was busy with food. By the time I was set up, they were ready—and eager!—to be drawn. The host and many of the guests were in the police force or had gone through military training. But here they were super casual and relaxed. And they had a robust sense of humor—who knew! I thoroughly enjoyed these people. Thank you, Brazilio and Mary, for your kind hospitality and for asking me to work in color!

Christmas on Hubbard Street

Henry’s Swing Club on Hubbard near the Wrigley really is a jumpin’ place. It’s spacious and offers pool tables and darts. It was rented for the evening by a national consulting firm and, you know, that’s a sophisticated, world-wise bunch. They hired me, of course, to draw them funny. I enjoyed their company enormously and, as you can see, they loved my work. Oh, and did I mention, they were also an exceptionally good looking bunch. Still, I did a number on them, haha. Hey, it’s in my job-description. Thank you, Erin.

Christmas at North Riverside Parks and Recreation

You can do Christmas at home with your family, but it’s also a time to be swept up in a larger social radius. We were in the gym, which is a surprisingly grand space, what with the high cathedral trussed ceiling and the stage for the needed celebratory focus. From a corner of this stage we heard Christmas carols in four-part harmony sung by pros in Dickensian Garb. The other side of the stage held the glittering tree and gorgeously wrapped gift boxes. People enjoyed a fine meal in the company of old and new friends. And, of course, there was a balloon twister and me, the caricaturist. This was truly festive! Thank you, Teresa.
Bob Hunt was the balloon twister this evening, but you can see bits of his astounding acrobatic performance at

At this party I saw the best Santa ever:
