We hired Richard for my wife's 40th birthday party. He was professional and was a hit with all of our guests! He made sure the hosts got a drawing done and very kindly stayed for a couple of extra drawings for those who didn't want to miss out. We would absolutely recommend Richard for any large gathering

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Femi, a talented digital caricaturist, to our recent student BBQ—and he was nothing short of incredible. From the moment he arrived, Femi brought an energy that lit up the event. His warm, approachable nature made students feel instantly comfortable, and his infectious enthusiasm quickly turned his caricature station into the heart of the gathering.
Femi’s talent is undeniable—his caricatures were not only fun and creative, but each one perfectly captured the unique personality of every student who sat with him. But what truly set him apart was the way he engaged with everyone. He took the time to chat, joke, and make each person feel seen. Watching him work was as entertaining as receiving the final drawing, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed connecting with people through his art.
He made every student feel special, celebrating their features with charm and humour in a way that was always kind and uplifting. By the end of the event, he wasn’t just the caricaturist—we all felt like he was a part of our community.
If you’re ever looking for someone to bring heart, fun, and a personal touch to your event, Femi is the one. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Ben was absolutely fantastic drawing at our wedding. He went out of his way to make sure all of our guests got a drawing and we couldn’t sing his praises enough! Some of our guests even took his card for future events and parties. Will definitely book him again.

Wow what can I say Gremlyn was amazing he was everything we hoped for and more.
He arrived on time as promised despite coming down to Eastbourne from Swansea and worked solidly through the whole 5 hours of our booking.
Gremlyn was great with the kids as well as the adults talking to them while doing there drawings were being done.
I would recommend Gremlyn 100% and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future events as would many of the guests who asked where we found him.
Gremlyn helped to make our day extra special so thank you sooo much

"Chris attended my wedding reception and was a hit with the guests.It was certainly a great idea to have him as it was my first time hiring a carricaturist and would advise anyone thinking of one to do it and hire home.Personally I would like to thank Chris for his hard work.
John and Anne."
