Welcome to the Team Artboy Blog! We'll be using this spot to post images and notes regarding recent Team gigs as well as whatever illustrations we might be working on. When things are slow, we'll even post any odd doodle that ends up scrawled across our sketch pads. Enjoy!

Aquavino 2011! Fri, 14 Oct 2011 06:33:25 GMT Tonight was the 6th annual Aquavino fundraiser at The Georgia Aquarium. The team draws pro-bono at these events, and as usual, knocked it right out of the park. Here are a few pics... The crowd loved us and kept us slammed all evening... ![]() That's Tony Smith, Chris Thorne and Keith Middleton doing what they do best... ![]() Fun during the live auction... ![]() Yes, that is an entirely edible 'Mermaid Cake' ![]() Tres Amigos... Sun, 02 Oct 2011 02:03:05 GMT Today was kind of low key at the Aquarium, so it was hard to get into a groove. I enjoyed drawing these three though. They were hilarious and clearly having a very good time. ![]() Two of my favorite drawings from this weekend at the Georgia Aquarium... Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:20:15 GMT ![]() ![]() She Said Yes! Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:25:04 GMT We actually get asked to do this more often than you'd think, but I always get a kick out of it. This guy asked Keith to draw him proposing to his unsuspecting sweetie... ![]() We had a pretty large crowd and Keith, knowing all too well what a thoughtless lot of blabbermouths the rubberneckers can be, put up a sign asking for everyone's discretion... ![]() The guy was on his knee, ring in hand, two seconds after Keith made his presentation. She said "yes" to thunderous applause! ![]() Aquatoons Mon, 06 Jun 2011 04:48:10 GMT Some of my favorite recent drawings at the Georgia Aquarium... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Introducing Coco! Wed, 06 Apr 2011 05:16:24 GMT The gag order has been lifted kids! Now that the Georgia Aquarium's "Dolphin Tales" exhibit is open, I'm finally allowed to talk about "Dolphins on Parade" and Team Artboy's contributions. Here's our first effort, commissioned by TBS... We owe huge thanks to our friend Brooke Howell. Brooke is a beautiful and insanely talented caricaturist and sculptor. She pointed us in the right direction and hooked us up with Sculpture Depot in Denver, Colorado. They provided invaluable help regarding the best materials to tackle this project with. Dolphin Tales! Sun, 03 Apr 2011 05:53:04 GMT Thursday night, Team Artboy attended the inaugural ceremony of the new 'Dolphin Tales' exhibit at The Georgia Aquarium and it was AWESOME! Here are a few pics... Obviously a well attended event. I'd have taken more crowd shots but found my spot by the bar far too comforting to leave... ![]() Home Depot co-founder and aquarium giver awesome guy, Bernie Marcus cuts the ribbon... ![]() The dolphin gallery main tank... ![]() Team Artboy bought naming rights for one of the amphitheater seats. I challenge you to find it. (No seriously, please find it. I have no idea where it is...) ![]() The performance was awesome... ![]() Christmas Kids! Fri, 14 Jan 2011 05:26:24 GMT One of our clients thoughtfully e-mailed this photo to us of his grandkids receiving their caricatures at Christmas this past year... ![]() Aquavino 2010!!! Fri, 15 Oct 2010 05:12:40 GMT Tonight the team performed pro bono at the 5th Annual Aquavino wine tasting and fundraiser. I gotta tell you, these guys are the best in the business and really knocked it out of the park. Here are a few pics; Tony Smith doing what he does best... ![]() My turn... ![]() And BOOM goes the dynamite! ![]() It takes a big man to draw a big woman... ![]() You'd think we only hire right handed guys... ![]() Bird's eye view... ![]() Hey, look at HER!!! ![]() WOOF! Sat, 14 Aug 2010 05:34:20 GMT Thursday, August 12th, four hyper talented Team Artboy associates entertained the hell out of the crowd at Piedmont Park's new Dog Park! Jeremy Townsend, Chris Neuenshwander, Tony Smith and Dave Washburn drew around a hundred park patrons dogs and delighted everyone. Seriously, these are the most talented guys I know. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Busy Weekend @ the Aquarium... Mon, 21 Jun 2010 04:05:54 GMT Saturday at the Georgia Aquarium was amazingly busy. We ran three chairs and drew steadily all day long. I feel like the Summer season has finally gotten underway. Let's hope so! Here's a shot of one of my black and white drawings from the day; ![]() New Artist, Tough Name Mon, 07 Jun 2010 03:26:28 GMT We brought a new artist in to work the Aquarium booth today. Chris Neuenschwander. Talented guy. Tricky name. ![]() The Flowertown Festival Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:33:35 GMT I don't usually enjoy doing festivals, but the Flowertown Festival happens to be hosted in my hometown of Summerville, SC. Dave Washburn has been doing caricatures at the fest for many years, and when he learned that it was my old stomping grounds, he invited me to join him. I've gone home to do the fest with Dave for several years now. It's a great excuse to get home to see family and old friends. Here are a couple of pics of Dave and I working... ![]() ![]()
Dr. Sketchy's!!! Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:49:01 GMT Christopher and I just got back from the March edition of Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School - Atlanta Edition. It wasn't quite the insane circus that last month's was, but we had a pretty damn good time. Our model this month was the charming Vagina Jenkins. (there's an interesting turn of phrase) DJ SpinMonkey kept our toes tappin' and The Gorgeous Ladies of Comedy kept us giggling. (I'd never been called a 'pencil pusher' before). Lori and Joe did another damn fine job of keeping us on our artistic toes. I just love this stuff! Here're some pics... Not Shag Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:02:12 GMT The fabulous photographs on our home and bio pages were taken by Atlanta photographer Patrick Williams. A truly talented guy. In return for those pics, he asked us to create a family portrait for him in the style of one of my favorite artists, Shag. As huge fans of Shag, we really enjoyed doing this. By the way, if you aren't familiar with Shag's work, do yourself a favor and go here - http://www.shag.com/ The Williams Family ![]() Aquavino '08!!! Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:57:45 GMT Tonight was the Georgia Aquarium's annual fundraiser, Aquavino! Seriously, if you weren't there then you really missed something. Make a note to attend next year! The whole caricature team did our part to help make the evening as special as possible. Here are some pics; ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
