Traditional Caricature Options

Choose the caricature style that works best for your event, whether you want a classic keepsake, fast sketches for a large crowd, or an artist who mingles with your guests.


Standard Classic Caricatures

Our classic and most popular option.

Up to 3 people can be drawn together on one caricature. We can also add names and your event title, making each drawing a personalized keepsake.

Have a complex logo or a long event title? We can pre-print that information on the paper for a small additional printing fee.

Details

  • Style: Black & White
  • Drawing Time: Approximately 3–5 minutes per face
  • Paper Size: 11" × 14"
  • People: Up to 3 people per drawing
  • Personalization: Names and event titles available

Please Note: We always work to draw as many guests as possible, but the number of drawings completed per hour cannot be guaranteed. Actual volume can vary based on guest participation, posing time, event conditions, and other circumstances beyond the artist's control.


Speed Caricatures

Perfect for large crowds and high-traffic events.

Need to get through a long line quickly? Speed Caricatures are simplified black & white sketches drawn in approximately 3 minutes or less per person.

Each sketch is limited to one person, with no names or additional writing. This allows the artist to keep the line moving while still creating a recognizable, quality caricature.

Details

  • Style: Black & White
  • Drawing Time: Approximately 3 minutes or less per face
  • Average Capacity: 15–18 faces per hour
  • Paper Size: 8.5" × 11"
  • People: 1 person per drawing
  • Personalization: Not included

Please Note: We always work to draw as many guests as possible, but the number of drawings completed per hour cannot be guaranteed. Actual volume can vary based on guest participation, posing time, event conditions, and other circumstances beyond the artist's control.


Walk-Around Caricatures

Also Known as a Mobile Caricaturist

Want to avoid a traditional line? Let the artist come to your guests.

Instead of working from a fixed location, the artist walks around your event and draws guests while standing. This is a great option for cocktail parties, receptions, corporate events, and other gatherings where you don't want guests waiting in a line.

Walk-Around Caricatures can be performed using either the Standard Classic or Speed Caricature style. For most events, Speed Caricatures are recommended for this format.

Details

  • Drawing Style: Standard or Speed Caricatures
  • Recommended: Speed Caricatures
  • Paper Size: 8.5" × 11" or 11" × 14"
  • Speed: Up to 18 faces per hour
  • Format: Artist walks around and draws guests

Important: Due to the additional physical demands of drawing while standing and moving throughout an event, Walk-Around Caricatures are limited to a 2-hour set.

Traditional Caricatures offer the most detailed artwork, Speed Caricatures maximize guest participation, and Walk-Around Caricatures provide a unique interactive entertainment experience for weddings, corporate events, festivals, trade shows, and private parties.

Hands down the BEST caricature, we had him at PepsiCo in Winston-Salem this past Wednesday, he is coming back to all of our events in the future. Not only are his drawings the absolute funniest, they look just like the person he is drawing! The employees are still talking about him! They LOVED him, he spoke to each person with such respect he asked their name and addressed them by there names and almost everytime I Looked over at his station there were smiles and laughing which is exactly what I wanted for this event. He is above a 5 star rating in my book!
