Eddie Platt Art

Caricatures provides a genuine and authentic memory for special occasions that retains the intimacy of the moment and places a unique spin on the creation of every memory. Your guests are sure to love the experience and comedy of being transformed into a cartoon version of themselves. They will also leave with a great souvenir memory that can be cherished for life. I provide speedy results and engage my audience with a relaxed and professional charm.

The name of the game is speed. Enjoy a live showing as I draw each face with quick and decisive lines to precision, hilariously capturing the essence of each person I draw. Each face is stretched and skewed to create a comical, cartoony look meanwhile preserving what makes each person unique and admirable by enhancing their individuality. Three minutes per face is all that it takes to get a complete drawing. Your guests won't be waiting long.

Want to bring your friends or family into the mix? Not to worry! I can draw multiple faces in a single picture, bringing out the best in every family and the magic in every friendship. I provide line art drawings on 11x17 cardstock paper (that’s pretty thick paper) with Sealed bags for protection against weather, liquid stains, and other forms of damage. Best of all, I bring a copy machine for those party members who want to be drawn together but have to go their separate ways!

Hey! My name is Eddie Platt.

Art has been a part of my life since the early days of elementary school where I was scolded in class for doodling during lessons. I’m not ashamed of that past. I embraced the artist in me walking into my college career. I have a history of drawing still life from art classes in middle school and taking ceramics and painting classes in high school. Upon graduation, I continued my art education at Georgia Perimeter College and received an Associate’s degree in Fine Art. The investment of art as a career came upon my graduation of the Art Institute of Atlanta, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Game Art and Design.

My passion in art centers around character design. In fact, my inspirations in my youth often came from video games, comic books, and anime. I would often be found drawing characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Spiderman, and Goku. I even spent much of my time in high school designing characters inspired from a combination of comics and the Dragon Ball Z universe. I feel that my drive for art comes from satisfying the urges in me to create dynamic and powerful characters that inspire the inner boy in me. Illustration has become a strong focus of study in my art journey from this drive.

In 2017, I began traveling across the United States studying and drawing caricatures. My caricature career begins here, working with a small company known as We Art Stuff practicing and selling caricatures in the fair and festival environment. The practice and study of caricatures has added a dynamic and more expressive understanding of character design and development for me, and I am grateful for the journey. Now, I bring my studies and love for art to my audience in a more personal and direct way, creating memories and custom art to the local community of Atlanta, Georgia.

I bring all of my equipment! I come with my own chairs, tables, lighting, table cloths, and electrical accessories needed to work. However, some venues prefer to keep their decorations uniform. This is especially true for Weddings. Not to worry, I am flexible. I am willing to use chairs, tables, and decorative accessories provided by a venue if requested.
