Question 1

How did you get started as a caricature artist?

Accepted Answer

People ask me this more than any other question. I have been an artist my whole life and earned my degree in Fine Art in 1994. But I didn’t use it. In fact I was working at a nursing home as an activity director. My mom saw an ad in the paper for a local theme park looking for artists. They would train the right person. So I interviewed and got the job! I soon figured out I was better suited to doing parties and got my first booking agent that year. Since then I have drawn caricatures in Las Vegas for a decade at some of the largest events in the world. In 2016 I moved to the gulf coast to raise my kids & I love it here!

Question 2

What is your booking process like?

Accepted Answer

When you contact me, I will aak you a few questions & give you a quote. Most weddings are in the 1k - 3k range depending on the number of guests, length and location. Then we schedule a chat to answer all your questions and make sure we are a good fit. When you’re ready to book, I will get a contract together for you. I guarantee 💯 of your money back if I cancel for any reason. I have never missed a wedding, but you still deserve the guarantee. Finally, I ask for a 50% retainer to reserve your date. I do my best to make sure the process is easy and painless for you.

Question 3

Do you provide color? Is it more?

Accepted Answer

Yes I can do color. In fact the bride and groom always get color. Color is the same price as black and white drawings. However they do take about twice as long to draw which works well for more intimate weddings. I also offer themed bodies at no additional charge.

Question 4

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

I am located in coastal Alabama and I generally service the greater gulf coast area including southeast Louisiana (New Orleans and Baton Rouge), coastal Mississippi (Biloxi, Hattiesburg, Jackson), central and coastal Alabama (Mobile, Baldwin county, Montgomery, Birmingham, tuscaloosa) and the Florida panhandle (pensacola, Destin, Panama City) I do also travel to other locations and I sit also that you cover my travel fees.

Question 5

I’m a little nervous about getting drawn. Do you do those ugly/mean caricatures like on tik tok?

Accepted Answer

I am known for drawing flattering portrait/cartoon style caricatures that actually look like your guests. I do this on purpose because I had someone draw me with one of those super exaggerated drawings and I didn’t like it at all. That made me realize that my customers probably wouldn’t like that either and it turns out I was right. On average about 60% of people at any given event want to be drawn according to a major booking site. Only about 5% of people want those super exaggerated caricatures. But at many drawings I draw all or nearly all of the guests. It also helps that I’m is of the fastest caricature artists in the world.
