ISCA Continued: My Wall

Finally, for my last ISCA post, My Wall! (if you're coming upon this unexpectedly, catch up with my last 3 posts. It's all about the International Society of Caricature Artists Annual Convention.)

I had to miss Wednesday of last week, and on Monday I was way too intimidated by the awesome talent pervading the entire ballroom, so my actual 'productive' days were limited to all day Tuesday and Thursday until 4pm when we had to have everything hung and cleared out of the ballroom to make way for the voting.

Here's my piece of Wall:

Jessica's caricature (upper left) took me almost the entire day on Tuesday, so on Thursday I was in hyper-drive, trying to get a respectable amount up on my wall before the deadline. 4 of the remaining eight I did with markers and Prismacolor art stix, a familiar and fast method for me. The others are pastel on sanded surfaces.

Here are most of them, with the original photo reference (when applicable) and the happy 'model' on friday!:

The Ritas of ISCA 2012

Since it was my very first Convention of the International Society of Caricature Artists, I was one of the "new" faces of the week.

And... since my face is, undeniably, unusual and unique, I was a popular subject.
