Cedar Point: Halloweekends!

My last month at Cedar Point yielded a lot of couples looking to get in the Halloween spirit with some cool Halloween themed bodies!

Happy Halloween!

Vampire Count

Another take on a common costume trend featuring the famed vampire count.

Cute Witch

Stepping away from famous faces and into everyday people to picture themselves in some crazy costumes fit for the season.

Vincent Price

Following Rod Serling, I conjured up another face from classic horror, Vincent Price, as seen here in the guise of a mad scientist.

The Twilight Zone

Presented for your consideration Rod Sterling, creator and host of... THE TWILIGHT ZONE, who became the first of my commissions at Cedar Point to show off the kinds of Halloween themes that we can do. 

Cal vs. The Cephalopod

During the recording of my return to Geek Fallout, Calvin commented on my recent work and suggested that he would like to see a drawing of him. Seizing the opportunity, I decided to revisit our previous artistic collaboration.

This project really kicked the doors open. Not only did Cal love this picture and use it for his Facebook profile picture, but my boss at Cedar Point saw it and commissioned me to draw some Halloween-centric caricatures for display at the stands that we'll see soon.

Cedar Point Caricatures: August Edition

By the end of the summer I had really gotten comfortable in my position at the park and relished being able to draw caricatures with wild pop culture themed bodies!

Survey Corps from Attack on Titan

Anna and Kristoff from Frozen (with Olaf and Sven)

Raptor Trainer from Jurassic World

Rick and Morty

Ghostbuster and The Silver Surfer

Star Trekkin' across the universe!

Sketch challenge for the Cedar Point caricature artists to draw a group from a TV show.

Abe Lincoln

Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

Another sketch challenge for the Cedar Point caricature artists.

Morgan Freeman

This Morgan Freeman caricature was part of a sketch challenge for the artists at Cedar Point.

I got the job!

Good news! I got the job as a caricature artist at Cedar Point for the summer!

It's a position I found through Kaman's Art Shoppes.

No, Kaman's, not Kamens

This means I'll be moving to Sandusky OH in the next week, so I may be off the grid while I set up and start my training.

On the plus side, maybe this will finally be my chance to upgrade to a mobile device with a camera so that I can keep you all up to date via Instagram! Thats just one of many good things this job could lead to...

In the meantime, I'm off to celebrate in the tradition of my people!

Sketch you later!
