D Parmar20 Nov 2022

We booked in Dan/Mr Illustrations for a special birthday party. From the initial planning of the event, Dan was extremely receptive to our requests and on the day even stayed on for an hour to ensure our guests were drawn. The actual drawings were magnificent with everyone appreciating Dan’s style.

All live artists are NOT the same. Good ones are rare! I am renowned as one of the UK's most sought-after live event caricaturists, with the skills and experience to back this up. I have a confident, clean style and, most importantly of all, an ability to capture phenomenal, undeniable likenesses. Combine this with a naturally friendly and approachable manner, and you have a truly unique entertainment choice that will keep your guests talking and the 'buzz' going long after the day has ended!

About supplier

Many caricaturists boast of entertaining guests "with cheeky charm and witty banter". Me? I passionately believe that the art should do the talking. So while you can be sure I'm a friendly conversational guy, my #1 goal is to provide funny, undeniably pitch-perfect likenesses. Every single time.
