Amazing! Simply Amazing

Our caricature artist was such a fun addition to our wedding! Our guests absolutely loved it, and it gave everyone something unique and memorable to take home. I adore Bill and I appreciate that he stuck with me despite me changing my wedding timeline a gazillion times.

The artist was talented, professional, personable, and kept guests entertained throughout the event. The drawings came out great, and it was so much fun seeing everyone’s reactions to their caricatures.

If you’re looking for something interactive and different for a wedding, party, or special event, I highly recommend booking a caricature artist. It was one of those little details that made our reception even more fun and memorable!

What to expect

At most of my traditionally drawn events, clients request that I draw black and white head shots. These sketches can easily accommodate a large group of people as they are quick, efficient and equitable. However, in the event that there are less guests, I can draw more elaborate pictures. Sometimes, I will render a full body with a themed environment in the background. in rare situations, I will apply color. As a caveat to the client, the more elaborate a composition is, the less volume I can produce for the entirety of the event. Ultimately, I will honor the requests of the client.
Let me showcase my digital skills at your event or convention! Computer drawn caricatures are great for clients who want to entertain their guests as well a promote their company. Although, traditionally drawn caricatures are a great souvenir, the guests walks away with only a single sketch on card stock. With digital, the client can have the option of having their company logo printed on each sketch, receive a 4x6 color print, have a 33inch monitor displaying the drawing in progress, have a plastic badge holder and lanyard for each guest to wear their cartoon. A QR code will be provided so the client and guests can access a Dropbox account to download their art.
I will be drawing on an 11inch iPad Air and connecting wirelessly to an inkjet cannon printer, I will attach my monitor to my iPad via an HDMI to USB-C adaptor. For easy access, I will display a copy of the QR code at the location. I will provide the plastic badge holders and lanyards.
At optimum, I can draw 10 color faces per hour. My rates for digital drawing start at $200 per hour. I have a two hour minimum. I am willing to travel wherever my clients request as long as they are willing to cover my traveling fees.

About

In 1993 I enrolled into FCCJ community college in Jacksonville, Florida where I claimed a major in Film Technology. After I graduated with my Associates degree, I transferred to UCF in Orlando, Florida. There I continued my education as a Film Animation student. I graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's degree. In 1999 I landed my first caricature gig at Sea World Of Florida. Soon to follow, I was hired as a sketch artist at Disney World in Orlando. I was contracted by Disney for four years. By 2003, I felt confident enough to leave the world of theme park drawing and moved back to my home town of Jacksonville, Fl. After returning home, I began working full time as a freelance caricature artist. In North East Florida, I have continued to hone my skill and expand my business.

Additional booking notes

For traditionally drawn events, I will bring a portable, fold out, French easel, 11x14inch card stock, 13x17inch plastic bags, 14x17inch drawing board, and markers all contained in a brand mobile folding cart.
For digitally drawn events, I will be drawing on an 11inch iPad Air and connecting wirelessly to an inkjet cannon printer, I will attach my monitor to my iPad via an HDMI to USB-C adaptor. For easy access, I will display a QR code at the location so clients and guests can download a copy of their art. I will provide plastic badge holders and lanyards for clients to wear and display their cartoon.

Influences and inspiration

As far as the art of caricature is concerned, originally, I was influenced by my first employer and teacher Dino Casterline of Sea World Orlando. In addition to Dino's distinctive cartooning style, I became steeped in the articulate, structural approach of the Universal artists also of Orlando. Since then, whenever possible, I have attended the ISCA (International Society Of Caricature Artists) conventions. At these conventions, I have been influenced and inspired by too many great artists to mention. Of some of the more international and illustrative talents, I include Jan Op De Beeck, Joe Bluhm and Court Jones as my role models.
The best thing about being an artist, is that the journey never ends. Every day I encounter new, revolutionary talents that reignite the creative spark in my mind and contribute to my doodling lexicon.

Setup requirements

I request that the client provide a table, two chairs, and an electrical outlet for my equipment.
