Yesterday I did five hours (or as I call it, The Nickle) of caricatures at a COSE event in Little Italy here in Cleveland. It was one of those near-perfect events. I never had a line, per se, but I did have a steady stream of subjects. At most, there were two or three kids lined-up behind me.
COSE does some great work, and depending on how some things shake down, I may wind up joining. And Little Italy is one of my favorite parts of Cleveland, and for a while had my favorite restaurant in town (which, sadly, has since closed to be replaced by fine place... it's just not the same, though).
I even ran into some people I haven't seen in years there. It's amazing how that happens.
I've said before that it's important to recognize when things go right and yesterday went really right.
Well, except for the light sunburn I got being outside and drawing for five hours. But I can deal with that.
