Caricatures at Live Events

What area do you cover?
Usually up to 2hr car travel distance from Gloucester but this can vary. Please contact me and I'll do my best to assist you wherever I can.

How many caricatures can you draw?
I can usually produce from 6 - 10 black and white, A3 (420mm x 297mm) individual caricatures an hour, but this depends on working conditions. Colour takes longer, but can be done on request. Please use this as a rough guide only as I cannot guarantee a certain number.

How do you create them?
I create my illustrations on an easel and will require a position that has an electrical point available for my lighting.

What do the subjects receive?
A 'head and shoulder' caricature, created with marker pen black line with pastel shading on A3 paper. Each drawing is then rolled up and placed in a waterproof plastic tube/bag.

I've seen other artists create them on a clipboard, do you do this?
No, I'm afraid I don't. I prefer to offer a caricature service where individuals can approach me at my easel to have one drawn. Some more sensitive people can find the idea of having a caricaturist appearing in front of them quite daunting. This way, no pressure is put on the individual to pose for one.

Do you have Public Liability insurance and is your electrical equipment safety tested?
Yes, I do have insurance and all of the electrical equipment I use (lights attached to easel etc) is tested to C&G2377 standards by Gloucester PAT Testing. Copies of all required documents can be emailed to you on request.

What do you require at the venue?
Some fun-loving subjects (!) and a power point and at least two chairs.

How much do you charge?
I charge an hourly rate (minimum 2 hrs booking) plus a charge to cover my travel costs. Please email me for a quote.

I'd like to hire you for my special event, what do I do next?
I will require a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure the booking and for you to fill in a small form (this will be emailed to you for to complete and post back to me). The balance would then be required on the day of the event.

I look forward to bringing some extra fun to your day!

Frequently Asked Questions
	Caricatures From Photos What do I need to provide for a caricature? You will need to supply the best quality photos you have of the subject. The better the photos, the better the likeness I can achieve. If you'd like to have the larger caricature, that includes surrounding detail on the illustration, then I will need a list of the subject's favourite hobbies and interests/funny stories. Will my photos be good enough for a caricature? The more photos you can lay your hands on the better (3 at least if possible). A few close-ups and side views help achieve the best caricatures. I will need to know the colour of the person's eyes as some photos give the wrong impression. Please ensure that your photos are not too big when emailing them to me (preferably no bigger than 1mb each). How long will it take (caricatures and cartoons)? Because of the range I offer, it really depends on my workload at the time. Just email me with your preferred deadline and I will do my best to achieve it. How much are your caricatures? It really depends on how much you want in your illustration. Prices can be found in my 'From Photos' Section. How will I receive my Illustration? 'Pastel' - Hand produced on quality cartridge paper and sent in a tube via Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. (Please click on the button 'From Photos' to see more).

You can have copies made for your own personal use but cannot use it for commercial use without prior permission from me. Do you provide a framing service? At present, I do not provide a framing service due to possible breakages in post. Do you supply caricatures outside the UK? Unfortunately, at present I do not post illustrations outside the UK.
