Dan recently attended a 50th Birthday party and he was a huge hit! He was an absolute delight in the run up to the doo, very responsive and no question was too much trouble to deal with. He worked solidly all through the evening and was extremely patient with some distracted guests. Everyone thought it was a great memory to take away from the evening and were very pleased with their pictures! We would definitely consider booking Dan again!

We hired MK Caricatures for our wedding and Michael was absolutely fantastic and went down a treat. He was polite, friendly, on time and very accommodating when we asked him to stay an extra hour as he was so popular with our guests. The caricatures were fantastic and he presented me and my husband with a framed caricature of us in our wedding outfits when he arrived. This will take pride of place in our home it absolutely stunning. My guests were coming up to me all night full of praise and he interacted with our guests brilliantly and was happy to approach them and mingle. The quality of the drawings is amazing. Thank you Michael for making our wedding so special. I would highly recommend him - you will not be disappointed.

Michael was brilliant- he made everyone feel at ease and was really adaptable to our obscure requests on the event day - It was super easy to brief Michael, attendees looked comfortable in his presence. We were more than happy leaving him to do his thing throughout the hours of the day and appreciated him drawing people from afar for individuals that did not request a drawing ( but more more than happy to accept the gift ) The team and I would highly recommend and of course would love to have him back for future events!

We celebrated Volunteers' Week with a barbecue in appreciation of all the help that Volunteers give. Pen arrived in good time, in order that he could have a briefing on our event. There was heavy rain but Pen carried on regardless! Those who were intially unsure of being willing subjects, were soon joining the queue as they saw the pleasing results. Ben was able to put everyone at ease and his style of art captured features so well. The caricatures will be a talking point for a long time to come. Thank You Pen.

What a superb person and extremely talented artist. So easy to work with, very flexible and amiable and boy can this guy work miracles with dodgy noses and double chins. Many people left proudly with great moments of a truly wonderful evening. Highly, very highly, recommended.
