Great Friends. In color!

Still figuring out how it's going to work updating my blog here and synching it up with my website... hmmm? So until then, some new drawings from this weekend.




Greg Labold and Jeremy Gecker are two of my best friends and they paint faces at the Phila. Zoo. I will be drawing some caricatures there in my spare time on the weekends whenever possible this summer. Check out their blogs.

I played basketball yesterday and it was good.

NEW WEBSITE!

I just finished my new website:

www.colinharrisart.com

From here on out I will be blogging on the website. All of my previous posts and comments from this blog have been transferred there already. Here is the new address to the blog on my new website:

Colin Harris Art Blog

Check out the galleries in the Live Caricature section for more of my live work. Also visit the profile page to view caricatures of me by other artists.

My friends out there who have me on their links, please update your links to my new blog address. Please!

Still not positive if I will continuing updating my blogger blog at the same time. It depends how easy it is to simul-blog. I made that term up I guess.

Let me know what you all think of the new site! There will be much more to come on it, now that I finally made it myself and can easily edit and update content.

Ciao!

Color Caricature

Prismacolor markers and color sticks. Commission by email photo.

Seriously working on my new website right now. Hopefully in a couple weeks it will be up and running. This blog will still exist within the website. I will finally have a recent gallery of caricatures from parties and from commissioned work, as well as a Caricatures of Me section (I have a ton already). Look out for it!

some stuff I have been making.

ART LOVE FANTASTIC!

Martha and I hosted an art-making/supply swap at our home. Friends came over to celebrate, create, and collaborate together. Drawing, painting, hat making, crocheting, potato printing, book making, food and music.

My friend Dave took great photos which can be seen HERE.

I also snapped a few along the way.













This needs to happen more often. Next time we plan on doing a clothing swap. Bring old clothes and trade with friends. Sew, screenprint, alter, and paint to make new clothes out of them. Probably when it gets warm out.

Caricature of Couple

One of my favorites from a birthday party yesterday in Philadelphia. Bluetooth and all.

Took this picture with my phone, diidn't turn out too bad.

Holiday Party Caricatures

A holiday party a couple weeks ago. Got to draw all in color for a change.


Yes, I do have a strange way of holding the marker.







It was a great group of people, one of the most fun gigs I have ever had.

Christmas Time

Recent drawings from photos.

It's been a very busy winter season. Especially since I just got this guy...



Our new mascot Hoagie.

Still Drawin!

Had a gig over the weekend at yet another Fall Festival. It felt good to start drawing again after a stressful, yet very pleasing move this weekend to a new house in a new town. No, not Newtown... Springfield. Finally I have my own studio space/office which will serve as my headquarters. Caricatures, screenprinting, woodblock printing, painting, and crafts. My desk will be adorned with my Dwight Schrute bobblehead. Pics will be shown someday. But for now here are some from this weekend.







And I found this picture from Emily Anthony's blog of me cutting wood at the convention. So much carving, went right through my jeans.



I have the woodblock print in this photo, "Mick Cusimano" showing in Media, PA at a coffee shop called the Coffee Club. Stop by and see it why don't you. Coffee, caricatures, printmaking, what more could you ever want!?!

I wood have to say this is cutting edge.
