About
My name is Rich. I'm from Oswego Illinois.
I've been drawing caricatures professionally for over 30 years.
Caricatures are draw on heavy card stock.
I can draw 20 to 25+black and white faces per hour or about half that in color.
I bring preprint themed cards for which the subject may choose from. I also bring blank cards for those who want just a cartoon portrait.
I supply poly bags for every drawing.
Caricatures make great keepsakes.
Fast Funny Family Fun for all ages.
