Live Traditional and Digital Caricatures

I am a top award-winning caricature quicksketch artist based in San Diego, California. I have been doing live digital and traditional caricatures at parties and trade shows since 1996. For more information about my background and achievements, click here.

:: Other important facts

First of all, if you hire a caricature artist directly, there are no extra hassles, hidden fees or surprises. Just contact me with your party information, and I will draw up a simple contract. That's it!

I draw caricatures by the hour, not by the sketch. So they are free to your party’s guests.

I have drawn caricatures at all types of events: company picnics, trade shows, conventions, birthdays, anniversaries, bar/bat mitzvahs, wedding receptions, retirement parties, holiday parties, high school proms and grad nights to name a few.

When I show up at your event, I always arrive well before the actual starting time to set up and check in. I come with everything I need to perform for the party: paper, markers, portable light, and chairs, if necessary.  I roll up the caricatures in a rubber band so it's a little easier for the guests to carry.

When I draw black & white caricatures, I complete  around 20 people per hour. That's one every 3 minutes! If you have a lot of guests at your party and/or a limited amount of time, I recommend hiring more than one caricaturist. Multiple artists can go through more subjects at once. And it keeps the lines that usually form around us moving quickly. I can call on several colleagues throughout San Diego and L.A. counties, all of whom have several years of experience doing live caricatures.

The rate for live caricatures drawn traditionally on paper with markers is $125 per hour. Rates may change during peak seasons or certain holidays and Saturdays. But discounts may apply for longer events or multiple artists.
