s'mores and campfire fun (work? hardly!)

This last weekend I had a caricature gig with campfire USA at Camp Namanu, surprisingly not too far from my home and I never knew it! I had a lot of fun it was like going back to my childhood camp I even got to make s'mores by the campfire. Campfire USA was having a fund raiser and needed a caricature artist so enter the tiger (me). I got there early so I took some pictures around camp it is really a beautiful place, though I still kick myself for not taking my camera around later as I found after the event these awesome treehouse cabins... we are talking about cabins that you sleep in built UP IN THE TREES! How totally cool is that??? Maybe I will get invited back next year, and then I will get my chance to take those pictures again. I did take some pictures of something else uniquely nifty to the camp: a star watcher tower (seen below) where you climb stairs to a elevated platform that has art of zodiac signs around it and watch the stars at night. You can also see my little encampment for my caricatures below. This was a really fun event, I drew around 30 people (lost track after a while, might have been more) and I got free eats as well... barbecue ribs and cheesecake baby! Does it get any better? (okay well real s'mores over a real campfire came darned close). Hardly seemed like work at all, I loved every minute!
