Education Erin KAB cast is on the Warped Tour again!

If you’re going to the Warped Tour this summer be sure to visit the Keep A Breast tent and check out my Education Erin cast! I painted a caricature of my wife on the cast as the educator (she wasn’t the castee.) You can read more about the painting of this cast here. The KAB team is full of awesome people who will tell you all about breast cancer prevention and much more. Please be sure to tell them I sent you!

Keep A Breast Cast #2- “Check Yourself” Katy Perry

This cast was for Keep A Breast’s “Check Yourself” cards they hand out that explain the proper methods of screening oneself for signs of breast cancer. My original sketches for the cast were just a made-up female figure in the poses on the card, but again- I wanted to do a caricature. I instantly thought of Katy Perry for two reasons- 1) because she was the most famous person I know of that had a cast made by Keep A Breast and 2) well, her cupcakes. Her cupcake bra is so iconic and I thought it would be a great way to imply breasts without having to show them. Plus most people could recognize her from the caricature and possibly relate to it better. The video “California Gurls” has so many great visuals that inspired me to go with the whole Candyland theme. It was a fun cast to paint and took a lot of time!
