Hi all! The holiday gigs just keep rollin' along. I drew caricatures aboard a harbor cruise this evening – Hornblower's Zumbrota out of Marina Del Rey. This yacht was built in 1918 for Charles Ringling (of Ringling Bros. fame) and was named after their first big attraction, Zumbrota the Elephant. The bar still sports a brass rail supported by the trunks of two elephants. Over the years the boat was owned by such folk as Mae West and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. It served in WW2. So much history in a little vessel. The party was fun. Lovely group of people.
Now, I'm heading into my last few days of gigs before Christmas. I'll be singing in an "all sub" quartet at Fullerton's Summit House tomorrow eve – we'll see what tunes we all muster collectively. And then the weekend will bring a bunch of caricature drawing on Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. It has been an enjoyable gig throughout the holiday season, and I look forward to my last few shifts.
On the freelance front, I'm done with my huge commissioned project and I'm so relieved! It turned out great! I'll post it on the website after its surprise presentation.
Well, take care, all! I've got to get some beauty rest before I catch a matinee of the Sweeney Todd movie tomorrow. Can't wait! Having taken part in a fantastic stage production of the show and seeing every version out there, I look forward to seeing this new adaptation. So it's a little Sweeney then down to the OC for some caroling. Should be a great day!
Take care all! Merry and happy! Peace and love.
