Not knowing how things would turn out, it ended up being a pretty good weekend. Great crowds for the 3 day event, plus great weather. We definitely lucked out with the weather, considering all the rain we have being getting lately. Below are some photos of the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QUDCQx5yIFY/TmhDk4kGSVI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/8lLF-jlcNgY/s1600/me-BGP-11-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649840033474431314" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QUDCQx5yIFY/TmhDk4kGSVI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/8lLF-jlcNgY/s400/me-BGP-11-sm.jpg" style="cursor: hand;

But this weekend I did. It was in the heart of Washington, DC. It was a summer "beach party" for his staff members and their families. To get in there, the security was heavy, as expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, the caricatures were popular and I was busy, busy.

It ended just as bad as the last 12 years with a losing record, sole possession of last place and another late season collapse. They do have some promising young talent for next year, but we'll see... Stay tuned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the last game of the season I did a caricature of 2 of the sports guys in town that do their radio show at the ballpark, Tom Davis and former O's pitcher Dave Johnson.

So CONGRATULATIONS for making the team and HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4138941444712391813-4620289882014638105?l=artbyrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/feeds/4620289882014638105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4138941444712391813&amp;postID=4620289882014638105' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4620289882014638105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4620289882014638105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/2009/03/happy-birthday-christina.html' title='Happy Birthday Christina!!'/><author><name>Rick Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13713106786435156297</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SYJh2YslqkI/AAAAAAAAAew/x03ELQwSNTQ/S220/Ricksm.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/ScKOqPTYkvI/AAAAAAAAAfo/ntyuqB6nAw4/s72-c/Christina-w-photo-sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138941444712391813.post-3833876485976316056</id><published>2009-02-05T13:31:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T14:19:16.738-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ric Machin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Erica'/><title type='text'>Happy Birthday Erica!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SYsypcNDoUI/AAAAAAAAAfI/yk1yK-UPQ_M/s1600-h/Erica-09-1photo2-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299385074058502466" style="WIDTH: 296px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SYsypcNDoUI/AAAAAAAAAfI/yk1yK-UPQ_M/s400/Erica-09-1photo2-sm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today is my daughter's 11th birthday.

I was going through the attic and found it a couple of days ago. It's pretty bruised and ripped up as you can see. After looking at it, it's hard to believe I had the patience to draw all those rocks back then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmoIzSiCI/AAAAAAAAAeI/j3Vx6gupWfk/s1600-h/Stairway-1-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289168389624989730" style="WIDTH: 205px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmoIzSiCI/AAAAAAAAAeI/j3Vx6gupWfk/s400/Stairway-1-sm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wanted to try and fix it up alittle to preserve it some. Back then I guess I didn't feel like filling in the whole background so I trimmed it out, leaving a hallow around it?? So now I decided to finish off the background. This what I did:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmcH4VP9I/AAAAAAAAAd4/qbmI2Wg0OTs/s1600-h/Stairway-3-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289168183219273682" style="WIDTH: 295px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmcH4VP9I/AAAAAAAAAd4/qbmI2Wg0OTs/s400/Stairway-3-sm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmPkmk6aI/AAAAAAAAAdw/qx1VWBaiWGo/s1600-h/Stairway-final-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289167967591131554" style="WIDTH: 183px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SWbmPkmk6aI/AAAAAAAAAdw/qx1VWBaiWGo/s400/Stairway-final-sm.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And this is how it turned out.

A couple came by like any other young couple and asked to get their caricature done. I said, "sure". The guy came up to me and whispered, "have me proposing to her". I said "ok". I drew him first then she sat down. I decided to have him on one knee, holding a ring and her on a pedestal. He watched as I finished up and I turned it around to show her and she was shocked (happy) to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he stepped right in front of her, got down on one knee, popped out a ring and proposed, right there!! She jumped up and gave him a big hug and would not let go. Pretty cool!! That doesn't happen too often at the park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SMIJTl1CnfI/AAAAAAAAAPo/9JkaEg-2T2g/s1600-h/proposal-pic-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242763148389424626" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SMIJTl1CnfI/AAAAAAAAAPo/9JkaEg-2T2g/s400/proposal-pic-2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4138941444712391813-4767952263972271586?l=artbyrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/feeds/4767952263972271586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4138941444712391813&amp;postID=4767952263972271586' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4767952263972271586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4767952263972271586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/2008/09/unusal-ballpark-drawing.html' title='Unusual ballpark drawing'/><author><name>Rick Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13713106786435156297</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SYJh2YslqkI/AAAAAAAAAew/x03ELQwSNTQ/S220/Ricksm.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SMIJ34fQtYI/AAAAAAAAAPw/p4eIgOmW4-Y/s72-c/proposal-pic-sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138941444712391813.post-1500200825011094612</id><published>2008-08-26T15:53:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-01-07T10:59:04.460-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fifty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gift caricature'/><title type='text'>Another Fifty Gift Caricature</title><content type='html'>Here's one I did last week for a friend of mine's brother.

I've been quite busy lately. Getting into spring and baseball season, which gets pretty crazy at times. Attached are some photos of my stand at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. It's a great place to work and I have a good location at the park, which is crucial. I’ve been there since the park open in 1992. But it's a GREAT place to watch a ball game. This time of year in April can be slow at times...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Photos were taken by Emily. Thanks Em.

This one is of our former governor here in Maryland, Robert Ehrlich. It was a pleasure to meet him and to draw him!! I don’t get too many opportunities to draw “famous” people live. Off of photos, yes. I’ve been to quite a few events where there have been VIPs, some local politicians and famous sports personalities. But they WILL not stand in line to get a drawing done let alone sit for 5 minutes. They’re too busy and if they do sit, the crowd would be all over them which is good for business, but I don't get an opportunity to talk with them; it gets too chaotic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But drawing Governor Ehrlich was very cool. He came to the restaurant early before the crowd showed up. So I was able to chat with him while drawing. It was funny because the restaurant called me that day and asked me to come in earlier to draw the governor. I said, ok. Then I started looking up photos of him, trying to get a feel for his face before I drew it that night. Looking up his bio, checking out some local stories in the paper to talk to him about. Thinking up some Irish stories... While waiting for him to show up, I find out that Governor Martin O”Malley is not the one I am going to draw, it's the former Governor, Bob Ehrlich. So I had to rethink what I was going to draw and say. The drawing is now hanging right above the table he always sits at when he comes there a couple times a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time I’m in the restaurant Iwill get a couple of photos of all the caricatures on the wall and I'll post them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4138941444712391813-4738882383240968168?l=artbyrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/feeds/4738882383240968168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4138941444712391813&amp;postID=4738882383240968168' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4738882383240968168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4138941444712391813/posts/default/4738882383240968168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artbyrick.blogspot.com/2008/02/me-and-gov.html' title='Me and the Gov'/><author><name>Rick Wright</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13713106786435156297</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/SYJh2YslqkI/AAAAAAAAAew/x03ELQwSNTQ/S220/Ricksm.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_RpxH3Mc_GZA/R75WbMq3rFI/AAAAAAAAALQ/B0SVWthchtw/s72-c/me-and-Ehrlick-sm5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4138941444712391813.post-7770067639468787491</id><published>2008-02-20T00:15:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-07T10:56:48.683-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal greeting cards'/><title type='text'>Personal greeting cards</title><content type='html'>Here's a "greeting card" I did for an current client of mine that works at a mortgage company.

He just turned 40 and his wife Maureen threw a nice party for him. He's originally from Ireland and has been over here in the US for about 15 years. I wanted tie in the two some how, not to mention he loves beer.&lt;br /&gt;I first worked from a quick sketch I did of him this past year. Working in photoshop and knowing how to get around in it helps a great deal, you can add more options as you go. Placing the US flag in the back ground faded a little was pretty cool and that's what I wanted. But after looking at it awhile, the flag stood out too much so I took it out and put it on his tie and I think that worked better. Plus I thinned out his neck too (which I don't think he minded.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img
