Caricaturists

I provide unique entertainment for all kinds of corporate and private functions, that is absolutely brilliant for parties, weddings, dinners, dances, promotional or training events and exhibitions.

On-the-spot caricature portraits are a great icebreaker as they get people talking and laughing! Chatting and joking with guests as I draw helps to break the ice, and makes it a fun occasion for all. Your guests will also have a permanent souvenir/party favour to take away to remind them of their event. My caricature style is fun and humorous, so it is guaranteed not to offend any of your esteemed guests! My style is flattering and people love the fantastic likenesses I achieve, especially the ladies who get beautiful long eyelashes and gorgeous bodies! 

For larger parties I work as a roving artist with an A4 pad, drawing caricatures in ink, without the aid of an eraser, at the rate of about 15 portraits per hour. For weddings or a dinner dance, I start drawing at the drinks reception and continue around the tables throughout the meal, which usually takes about 3 hours.

For the smaller intimate party, i provide full colour portraits, drawn at an easel, using A3 size paper. All i need for that Is reasonable lighting as it's pretty tough working by candlelight!
