Gift Caricature
Gift caricature
Overview
Hi!
As a caricature artist, I usually get a good likeness and a good laugh. Traditional drawings are done with black marker and color highlights on 11x14” paper. I do full color digital caricatures with a 32” monitor and airdropped to your phone, billed at a slightly higher rate. And full color digital gift caricatures done in my home studio from photos.
Dependable and congenial, I can be the "hit" of your next party or event.
Companies/Individuals I've done artwork for include: Kid Kraddick, Live Nation, HEB, Whole Foods, Exxon, McDonalds Corp., Citgo, Toyota, D Magazine, Trinity University, SMU, Texas State University, Texas Lutheran University, UT Austin, UNT, UNT-D, UT-Tyler.

October 13, 2026Amazing Caricaturist!
Mike was a perfect addition to our Girl Scout mother/daughter Halloween party! Mike communicated well, arrived on time, and was even able to provide a portrait from a photo of two guests who couldn’t attend due to illness. Our Girl Scouts loved this experience and will treasure the caricatures! Mike was kind, professional, and talented. We would hire him again and highly recommend him for your next event!

June 2, 2026Super Fun for Graduation Party
I hired Mike for my stepdaughter's high school graduation party and it was a hit! I chose the digital package so everyone got to watch as Mike drew each caricature, and each guest walked away with a print-out of their caricature. Everyone loved it!

Mike was very quick to respond to me initially, was very fairly priced, and was perfect at our wedding. The guests loved the experience and we are so glad we included this in our day! Thank you, Mike!

About
I started out in music but went back to school to study art. I did commercial illustration for a few years and then moved into portrait painting and caricatures. I’ve now been doing caricatures for almost thirty years. Weekends are busy doing party caricatures, and events are best booked several weeks in advance.
