Unique Artwork to Treasure: High-Impact Live Caricatures
I create a unique experience for your guests, delivering a premium keepsake in just 4 to 5 minutes.
• Go Big with A3: While others stay small, I draw on A3 paper for maximum visual impact—perfect for guests to show off across the room.
• Personality & Poses: From classic head-and-shoulders to my signature “wacky bodies,” every drawing is tailored to the individual.
• True Likeness: It’s more than a cartoon; it’s about capturing real expressions and the unique spirit of your guests.
Laughter Guaranteed: My goal isn’t just to draw; it’s to entertain. Watch the crowd gather as the “hoots of laughter” begin!
Booking a caricaturist for your event…
With Pens and Paper and my trusted clipboard I’m equipped as a walkabout caricaturist to any event. If you prefer I can sketch digital caricatures on my iPad. For tradeshows and corporate setting. If you are interested in making a booking, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
