01-08-11 Father Daughter Dinner Dance, Sutter Club, Sacramento, CA

I believe this is the 5th year in a row that I've drawn at this event. I cultivate quite a few regular clients with the same gig from year to year. It's always fun and because it's in Sacramento I get to see some caricature artist's I don't normally run into. This evening the other artists included Sue Johnson, Karen Fulk, and Mike Tofanelli.

Here are some of my caricature drawings from the event.

Here's some of my drawings from the nearly 6 hour event.
A fun end to a great year!
