Caricatures By Rob

Live Traditional Event Caricatures
Caricatures are a perfect entertainment choice for occasions such as holiday parties, company picnics, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding receptions, class/family reunions, proms, graduations, grand openings, open houses, trade shows, conventions and of course...YOUR SPECIAL EVENT!
I prefer to draw onto 12" x 16" sheets of paper using a black marker and and airbrush and also offer the option of color to produce vibrant looking caricatures. I primarily draw ‘front-view' caricatures, drawing the head down to about the shoulders or waist of each customer.

Rates
For event entertainment, the client is billed an hourly rate and the caricatures are free for all of the guests who get drawn at the event. I charge a hourly rate per hour of service for "Black & White" caricature drawings, or additional fee per hour of service for "Color" caricature drawings (3 hour minimum for both). I am capable of drawing 12-15 people per hour in Black & White.
Rates for live traditional caricatures depend on the length of your event, the location and other factors.
I have a three hour minimum for bookings. But if your event is shorter than three hours, I can work with you under certain circumstances.

Traditional Caricature Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long have you been drawing caricatures?
A: I have been drawing caricatures professionally since 1995.

Q: Is a caricature a drawing where the artist just accentuates one particular feature, like the nose?
A: Absolutely not. A good caricature is a drawing that observes your individual likeness and accentuates those traits which make you look like you. My caricatures have been described as “fun and flattering”.

Q: What areas do you serve?
A: Pretty much everywhere! I am based out of Austin, Texas. And I most often serve the metro areas of San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas

A: Generally, I have a 3 hour minimum booking requirement. But I have been known to make exceptions. I have no maximum limit.

Q: What does each guest walk away with?

Q: How long does it take to do each drawing?
A: Approximately 5 to 6 minutes each to draw a face color. I average 9-10 faces per hour at most events. I can draw more faces per hour if working just in black and white.
