When you're known in the family as the "artistic" one,it's a natural you'll end up doing caricatures at Sweet 16 Birthday parties.It's better than baby sitting...
But I didn't know I was laying the groundwork for sketching chefs at fancy dos...
Here's an invitation I did for a benefit party of Julia Child with Great Chefs held at restaurant March.
I proposed to FOOD ARTS MAGAZINE that I do some sketchbook pages for them at the Lyon Food Fair - also known as the Salon des Metiers de Bouche (meaning Salon of the Careers of the Mouth!) It's an international catering, hotel and food trade exhibition held bi-anually in January.
The French take it so much further than the Fancy Food Show! With real fish mongers, crepe makers, cheese vendors - The WORKS!
I illustrated an invitation for D'Artagnan's big anniversary party at Grand Central station for Ariane Daguin. Sketching the party was part of the fun of photographing and attending these events...
After Paul Bocuse's M.O.F. party, George Duboeuf gave a bang-up chef soiree... More doodles...
Sketching at the James Beard Awards...
Out of these party sketches I ended up doing a series of ads for Restaurant Associates showing their Tropica chef creating in the kitchen. I went in, taped his conversation and made it part of the ads seen inside New York Magazine too. Party sketching is a FUN career!
