Ariel-View Caricatures & Illustrations

Hours of entertainment and laughs! Memories that will last a lifetime because every time they look at the caricature, they will remember your event.

Ariel has been making his living as a freelance artist and caricaturist in Southeast Michigan since 1990. He attended the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, where he majored in Graphic Communication and first started to develop his caricaturing and cartooning style. Clocking in at about 3-5 minutes per face, he averages about 1,500 - 2,000 caricatures per year. Besides his long list of clients, which includes Chrysler, GM, McDonald's, Detroit Tigers, Pepsi, Fieger Law, Greater Media Detroit, Progressive Insurance, U of M, Michigan State University, Bridgestone-Firestone, WDIV-TV, Stiiizy and Domino’s Pizza, he has also illustrated a few books.

Whether it's a small gathering of 20, or a corporate event of 200, Ariel is sure to delight and amuse your guests with his caricatures drawn live on the spot. Working quickly in marker, Ariel can produce a black & white "head & shoulders" caricature of each guest in 5 minutes or less. (Approximately 12-15 caricatures per hour.) A caricature makes a wonderful memento of your event that your guests will treasure for years to come. When completed, each drawing is placed in a clear plastic sleeve at no extra charge. Price for live caricaturing varies by type of event, driving distance and amount of hours booked, but is usually $150 per hour. A two hour minimum is required for any event.
