What are classic caricatures?
These are the "old-fashioned" caricatures you've seen at theme parks for decades! They're drawn with black marker on paper with few colors added in chalk or marker.
How much does it cost to have a Classic Caricature artist come to my event?
Our rate starts at $160 per hour per artist with a 2-hour minimum booking. Non-local artists are available for an additional travel fee. Request a Quote to learn more!
How many people can be drawn in one hour?
Our artists can draw roughly 10 people per hour in black-and-white. If things are a little more relaxed we’ll add more detail to the drawings. No matter what, we always take enough time to make sure we get a good likeness.
What do you need a client to provide for a caricature artist at an event?
Please provide a space of at least 5×5 feet, 2 chairs and access to electricity (if indoors) or covering (if outdoors).
Can you put my logo on the caricatures?
Absolutely! Printing your logo in black and white only is $80 and in color is $120.
What are digital caricatures?
The latest in digital entertainment, these are drawn on a tablet like an iPad Pro. Guests can receive their caricature as a color print-out, download or it could be sent to their phone!
What options are available with digital caricatures?
Our digital caricatures are all drawn on a computer tablet like an iPad. We offer two types for this service: 1) With TV Display and Printing allows attendees to watch the caricature come to life on a large screen and then take home a color print of their caricature. 2) Instant Sharing provides a more streamlined setup without the TV and printer and allows guests to get a digital copy of their caricature instantly sent to their phone or email. A simplified set up keeps your costs lower. Please note we require the client to provide Wifi for this service.
