It's hard to believe that June is almost over! Came and went like a slingshot, and I turned 46 on the 8th. Tons of stuff happened this month, took the family to Busch Gardens and there were NO crowds (yahoo!) and got into some pretty good surf at the first part of the month (although it's been pretty flat for the last couple of weeks). The city of Virginia Beach pays me every year to draw at the oceanfront in the evenings during the summer months (The "Beach Street USA" program), and I have been down there drawing several evenings already. If you are in Virginia Beach this summer and would like a free caricature, come down between 7:30-11:00pm on these nights (on Atlantic Avenue and 17th-25th streets.. they move me around every time.. most of the time I am on the corner of 19th street though, look for me there first). Ok, here's my schedule for the remainder of the summer:
July 2,7,10,18,21,25,28 and 31
August 4,7,10,14,20 and 26
Also I just finished drawing for 3 days at this awesome festival in Norfolk on the waterfront this past weekend. The event is called "The Bayou Boogaloo", and it's a cajun festival with live zydeco and blues bands, authentic Louisiana cuisine and tons of entertainment, of which I was a part of (I have been invited to draw caricatures at this festival for the past three years.. I totally love it!) I am posting a youtube video of this event on this blog as well.
I'm also trying to finish a surf painting for a friend, getting some work done on a childrens book that is scheduled to be published, and a design for a local surf shop.. gotta fit family time in always.. plus always gotta surf too! When it's going off, I'm usually in the water, I find a way. I am also really stoked about the prospect of designing graphics for a skateboard company here in town (XVD Longboards).. I am meeting with them tomorrow to discuss terms. In the next post I'll continue the story..
Peace..
Bob
