Unique entertainment for all kinds of corporate and private functions !!
Brilliant for parties, weddings, dinner dances, promotional/training events and exhibitions. On-the-spot caricature portraits are a great icebreaker - they get people talking. I chat and joke with guests as I draw which all helps to make it a fun occasion, and your guests have a permanent souvenir to take away to remind them of their day (or night!).
My caricature style is flattering but humorous so guaranteed not to offend. I draw mainly black and white outline sketches but can work in full colour if numbers are small.

For larger parties I work as a roving artist with an A4 pad, drawing quick caricatures in ink (and without the aid of an eraser!) at the rate of about 15 portraits per hour. For weddings or a dinner dance it works well if I start drawing at drinks reception and continue round the tables through the meal which usually takes about 3 hours.
For the smaller intimate party, full colour portraits might be more appropriate. I draw these sat at an easel on A3 paper in ink and pastel at the rate of 5 per hour. I need reasonable lighting to do this kind of work. It's pretty tough working by candlelight!
If you would like a quote or would just like to chat about how this might work for your wedding or event, please feel free to give me a call me now for more details. It's usually better to phone because I may have some ideas for you and it would save us both from typing long emails!
