Caricatures by Mary
Overview
I offer traditional (hand drawn) Caricatures. Depending on location there may be a gas charge.
Traditional: I typically draw black and white head and shoulders for events, as I draw 20 to 25 people per hour. I typically use 11x17 paper, but can use 8.5x11 paper. I can color & draw little bodies as well, but it slows me down.

What to expect
I like to show up at least 15 min. early to set up, as it doesn't take me long to set up. If you have chairs I am even quicker, but I have my own chairs if you don't have chairs.
I typically use 3 chairs, 1 for me the other 2 for guest. I use easel, typically 11x17 20 lb white copy paper, black crayola markers (non-toxic). I roll up the paper and rubber band it. I am able to bring another easel w/ samples upon request.
I usually draw traditional black and white head and shoulders, as I can do 20 to 25 people hourly. Can do bodies (just about any body) and color, but they take me longer. For color I use color sticks (like the inside of a color pencil).

About
I have worked as a Caricature Artist at Sea World San Diego (1 year) and Universal Studios Hollywood (7 years) and now I do live private parties in the San Jose, CA area. I have a more realistic style. I show up on time and don't mess around.
Additional booking notes
If the event is at night and there is not adequate light, I can bring light. Please let me know if I should bring light.
