Absolutely I thoroughly enjoyed being part of your special day . And as a side note, I discovered a new place I had never been to that I plan to come back and explore some time with my wife on one of our weekend getaways.

June 28, 2021Fantastic!
Eric was fabulous! We were able to book him with only a couple days notice for an event in Bristol, TN. He jumped on the opportunity! We are so grateful it worked out, as the client wanted a sketch artist for the event more than anything else. THANK YOU ERIC! You made the event a true party!

About
Hi, I’m caricaturist Eric Melton. I provide fun and memorable caricatures for your special event, party, wedding reception, trade show, or corporate function in Charlotte and parts of North and South Carolina. I serve most major cities including Raleigh, Durham, Asheville, Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and everything in between. With 33+ years experience in the business, I strive for caricatures that are funny but not cruel or demeaning, sure to leave your guest with a great memento of the event. I will engage with your clients and make them feel comfortable and relaxed. My latest big news is my Caricature art was commissioned and used in the Amazon Prime MGM movie "Merv" Holiday 2025.
Additional booking notes
I require a space of approx 6 x6 foot although space for people to stand and watch is highly recommended. I should be placed in an area within visual proximity of guests not too close to loud music so that I can interact with guests. I require a power outlet to plug in my light. If your event is being held outside please provide shelter from elements.
