Caricatures or Quick Personality Portraits Are Huge Hit at Weddings

Tiffany Blue Box Party Theme

quick cartoon at party by Philip Herman drawn onto pre-printed Tiffany-style blue box design

sometimes Herman designs special paper for the party theme, like this Tiffany-style blue box

Herman drew heads&shoulders of each guest onto the specially themed paper

each guest was drawn as if he/she had popped out of a Tiffany-style blue box

the specially designed and printed paper has the names of the guests-of-honor written on the ribbon

when there are lots of people to be drawn, Herman can work in black&white

When there are lots of people to be drawn in limited time, or if the client wants the paper to compliment the theme of the party; Herman can design and print what he calls a Quikmat. In this case the TIFFANY BLUE BOX was the color theme of the party; so Herman made special paper that worked with his drawings so that each guest appeared to be popping out of the blue box.

Brides & Grooms & Weddings & Proposals & Honeymoons

Herman is often asked to paint scenes of the moment when the fiance proposes to his bride-to-be. Sometimes the man uses these creatively as an integral part of the process, as in these two examples: one, at Terrace In The Sky in Manhattan; the other; on a dinner cruise around manhattan.

Groom-to-be presents huge rock to astonished fiance at Terrace In The Sky in upper NYC in this portrait used by the Groom-to-be as part of his proposal.

In this ingenious idea, Herman is hired by the Groom-to-be to actually be on the cruise, posing as artist-in-residence and pretending to draw the infatuated couple as the man proposes.

In this instance, Herman was hired to be at Tavern On The Green in Central Park and pretend to draw the couple as the man proposes to her.

As a Sign-In-Board at their wedding, with a border for guests to sign on, Herman depicted the wedding couple as Merman and Mermaid.

Airbrushed on their favorite beach at sunset as a Sign-In-Board for their guests to sign on the border at the wedding reception.

This painting was used as the wedding invitation by an unconventional couple from NYC getting married in Ohio.

This bride & groom met as lifeguards, and wanted to be painted that way by Herman on their Sign-In-Board.

This B&W line drawing was used as a thank you card to all the guests who gave gifts.

This painting by Herman of an adventurous couple in the Galapagos was used as an invite and then framed as a portrait.

Classic, straightforward ring-on-the-finger proposal portrait

Herman & some of his select artists also draw at wedding receptions as entertainment, sometimes creating special paper commemorating the event.

Birthday Party at Famous Restaurant in Yonkers

Have you experienced downtown Yonkers, New York lately? Check out this classy mural down near the waterfront.

 

The view of the Hudson River is fabulous, also. Right next to the unusual restaurant, X2O.

 

Party Artist Philip Herman was at X2O last weekend drawing personality portraits of the guests. This first gentleman is a diamond grader, French, and an immaculate dresser.

This last sample is a romantic couple who wanted to be drawn crossing the 7 mile bridge in the Florida Keyes while dolphins and sea turtles frollicked.
