Caricatures by Gina Minichino
Overview
I've been drawing caricatures at parties and events for over 25 years. I've worked every kind of event - birthdays, weddings, communions, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, holiday, corporate, pet adoptions, engagement, wedding showers, and more! I can draw approximately 18-20 people per hour in black and white. My caricatures are a great likeness and I think quite cute. :) They are great entertainment and a party favor in one!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I hope that I can draw for you soon!

May 23, 2026Perfect for Wedding Reheasal Night
Gina was a great addition to our daughter’s rehearsal event and guests were enthusiastically lining up to have their caricature drawn. Gina was calm and relaxing to work with and did all she promised.

What to expect
I would need a table and chairs set up for me, preferably away from speakers so that I may hear the guests when they speak. That's all I'd need from you! I draw pretty fast, about 18-20 per hour in black and white, heads and shoulders, and my caricatures come with clear plastic sleeves. A perfect party favor, and entertainment at the same time!
About
I am a NJ native and started drawing as soon as I could hold a crayon. After high school I was thrilled to go to college in NYC at the School of Visual Arts, because they were the only 4 year college with cartooning as a major! After graduating, I started drawing caricatures at events and also began painting. My work shows regularly in galleries in NYC and LA. I'm also an illustrator, and have done work for album covers, magazines, trading cards and even a beer can. I enjoy drawing and painting in all forms.
Aside from the visual arts, I play guitar, and violin, and have two wonderful cats.
