This and That

August 12th !?!?! Holy crap Batman!

Yep, August 12th was when I wrote my last blog. Actually, there wasn’t going to be any more written blogs as I was going to transform into video blogs. However, my introvert-ness has gotten the best of me and I’m still trying to find the courage to start my video blog. I got the camera and the phone and the idea…now I just need to forget about what everyone is going to think of my video blog and just do it! It’ll happen…just be patient. As for now let's highlight a few things that have been happening in the world of Michael Hopkins Cartoons…

First off I've sold some more art through Fine Art America. Although it's a small piece of art (a greeting card), it was nonetheless my art. Also it was my first sale in the United Kingdom, so I was pretty stoked!

Below is the announcement and a picture of the drawing.

"Michael Hopkins sold a greeting card of Airbus A320neo to a buyer from Norwich, Norfolk - United Kingdom."

Fine Art america is kinda cool, because you can access prints of my art in various sizes and on various materials (from postcards to full size prints).

Last Friday I had two, Michael Hopkins Event Caricatures gigs, in less than 8 hours. This kind of thing used to stress me out, but now I find it a challenge. Its funny how our perspective changes as we grow more confident with our skills. Maybe that will happen as I start my video blog and gain confidence, well see. Anyways here’s a few highlights from those gigs. Also,  I've added a few photos from my gig a few weeks ago, up in Washington State. Enjoy!

And a few more from Washington State...

And finally, I got back in the Aviation caricature mode with my rendition of the Convair B-58 Hustler. Developed in the 1950's, the B-58 entered service in 1960 and flew for over 10 years with the Strategic Air Command (speaking of which, that's also the title of one of my favorite classic movies starring Jimmy Stewart)...anyways.
