Overview
As a caricaturist, I have 11 years of experience drawing caricatures at parties, corporate events, weddings, and more! If you need an artist, I'm your guy! I draw on 11" by 17" paper and bring bags for you to keep the caricatures in. It only takes three minutes per face for a black and white drawing, and five minutes per face for a colored caricature.

My then fiance, now wife, and I requested Rolando to draw caricatures at our wedding. He did a fantastic job and was one of the most talked about things from the evening. We didn't get a chance to sit down and get our caricature drawn that evening but Rolando followed up and said if we sent a pic of the two of us then he would get one made for us. Total class act and our big day wouldn't have been complete without Rolando!

About
Rolando Jose DeCastro III has been happily drawing caricatures for eight years at corporate events, weddings, and parties. Starting as an artist at the Indianapolis Zoo, Rolando has extensive experience drawing people quickly and capturing a great likeness, while also accentuating the sitter's personality. When not doing caricatures, he teaches animation courses for the Computer Graphics Technology Department at IUPUI and does freelance illustration work for the video game and film industry.
Additional Booking Notes
I always bring my own table, chair and easle! If your event can provide me with at least two chairs for people to sit, that would be great!
For markers, I use a combination of Black Crayolas, Copics, Chartpaks, and Sharpies. I also bring bags and rubber bands for people to store their drawings.
It takes me three minutes to draw a black and white face and only five minutes to do both color and ink.
