Booked for Private party

We booked Yanthia for our work family fun day. She was so lovely and friendly and confirmed everything was ready the day before the event. Everyone was thrilled with their caricatures. They were so good as was her balloon modelling. Would definitely use her for our next event.

Booked for Corporate Function

WOW.. Steve was absolutely fantastic and such a professional !! We book Steve to do his silhouettes at our champagne reception and then throughout our meal. He was so friendly and kind and interacted with everyone, what Steve does is unique and a conversation starter for everyone. Everyone has mentioned how amazing what he does is. Additionally our guest got to go home with a memento of the night. Steve was so accommodating and couldn't have done more for us, He is a fantastic man and we really couldn't recommend him enough... BOOK BOOK BOOK !! You wont regret it and the value for money is 10/10.

Booked for Other Event

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.

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 stunningly hilarious 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.
