Birthday Party in River Forest

Fiona turned twelve. Mom was planning a small party for Fiona’s closest friends. There would be good food and some games and what else. The party needed some focus. Ah! We have that caricature of Fiona framed in the family room. Who was that artist? Oh, the name is on the drawing and it’s clear: “Hilden, 2009.” Let’s call her and see if she’s still doing this. Oh, yes, more than ever! My drawings get framed and my name is out there. There are always new clients but I do get called back often.
Here’s the drawing I did of Fiona when she was seven. This was a Halloween party at another child’s house and she came as a bumblebee. I remembered!  Love it!

Thank you, Josephine!

St. Vincent Ferrer End-of-School Party

Oh, these resourceful parents!  It was a bit much: there was a thunderstorm the night before, a tree was hit by lightning and fell over the play area where the party was planned, and the janitor had a family health emergency.  So this end- of-school party was moved into the gym, which could accommodate only one of the six huge blown up jumping monsters that had been ordered.  No matter, everybody had a good time at this enthusiastic school in River Forest.  I drew thirty kids in two hours and I’m grateful for a parent’s assistance in handling the line.  Thank you, Fatima!  Thank you, Beth! And thank you, Gina, for the heroic recovery in the wake of all the obstacles!
