A caricature is a Cartoon Portrait of a person. It’s a Portrait, so it should look like the person, but it’s a cartoon too, which means the caricature artist can stylize the features and add an element of fun.

A Caricature is a great ice breaker at any party or event. Caricatures are not only entertaining, your guests will get to take their portrait home, as a lifetime personalized souvenir, to hang in their home, place of business and on social media! Your guests, will love to crowd around the caricature artist’s easel to watch someone getting drawn. People are fascinated to see a blank piece of paper turn into a humorous cartoon portrait!

Having a caricature artist draw works well at almost any event, such as: weddings, bar mitzvahs, anniversary, graduation party, block party, birthday party, pool party, surprise party, retirement party, shower, new years party, holiday party, theme party, sweet sixteen party, picnic, amusement parks and just about anyplace where people gather to have a good time. Caricatures are perfect for corporate events too. When a company hires a caricature artist to draw, in their sales booth, it never fails to attract a crowd of potential customers. Also, caricatures are perfect for adding fun to a much needed break at corporate business meetings, seminars and award banquets.

When hiring a caricature artist, you should always look at samples of their work, to see if their style will fit with the kind of event you are going to have. Artist’s styles can vary greatly, from very exaggerated to tame and flattering, so you want to be sure that it’s the right fit for your needs. It’s also a good idea to check out their reviews and ask the artist, how many years of experience they have. A phone conversation is a good way to get to know someone, before you actually meet them in person.

No. Caricature artists are not all the same! Styles vary and it's very important to check out the type of caricature of the artist before you hire them. Some caricature artist's drawings are very exaggerated, which might not work too well for a kid's party. Caricatures artists differ in experience, styles, dependability, specialty (drawing children or adults) and how helpful they are, when discussing your needs for your upcoming event.
