Caricatures By Mal

For live events, you get a hardworking, professional individual who focuses on entertaining your guests! I try to dig a little deeper than most caricature artists, and my drawings reflect aspects of the subject's personality or hobbies! I can draw these in black and white or in color as needed. I can also tailor these to fit a certain theme. Whether your event is casual, costume or formal or family-oriented, I can fit the bill!

For weddings, birthdays or retirement parties, I can do the bride and groom ahead of time or the retiree or birthday boy/girl in color, (these usually get more detail) and have these framed. The ones I do live are are usually done in black and white unless arrangements are made beforehand.

I have been drawing caricatures live and from photos since 1995, and have done a variety of events in that capacity including birthday parties, corporate functions, anniversaries, after proms, customer service events, weddings, school functions and festivals, etc. My corporate caricature work has included an event for Juicy Couture at one of their buyer shows. I have also had my caricatures featured on the Today Show, during one of the live crowd interviews from the audience outside.

In addition, I am also a graphic designer and marketer and can handle translating that same artwork (or whatever you may need) to a digital format for various applications, (posters, business cards, t-shirts and brochures to name just a few.)

I can also produce video and audio for various projects; Pretty much anything creative, multimedia-wise. This ranges from commercial spots, trade show video loops, music video work with some animation incorporated in, book design work, sound-design work and video production.

If you have any questions, or ideas on how I can be a great fit for your upcoming event or project, just ask!

If I am doing a night-time event outside, lighting may be a concern. I am flexible, so just let me know that detail before-hand, and we can work something out. For outside events, I can also bring my own tent and chairs if needed.

I typically supply my own paper (11 inch x 14 inch-sized white stock) and drawing materials for the event, but can depending on your event's requirements, also have caricatures for your guests drawn on pre-printed 'branded' stock, which can feature your logo, event name, etc. Please message me for more information on this option, and I would be happy to quote it for you.
