Alan has been a full-time caricature artist since 2015, usually drawing at over 100 events a year. He is based in Bicester near Oxford, but willing to travel.
Alan is able to offer live caricatures on paper, digitally or virtually. He’s amongst the quickest in the UK, drawing black and white sketches at up to 15 faces per hour. His unique approach allows him to work nearly as fast in colour.
He’s a thrill to watch, drawing with a very animated face, so as to breathe life into the drawings. Whether he’s seated, mix ‘n mingling or on-stage, he’s in his happy place - drawing furiously.
We hired Alan Simpson to draw caricatures of the guests at our wedding. The queue waiting to sit for Alan was testament to how good the portraits were. Alan was able to incorporate hobbies of the guests into his drawing and the lucky recipients were amazed when the image was revealed.
We highly recommend Alan for any event and would hope to use him again at future large family events.
Alan was absolutely brilliant, his drawings were so good and everyone at the wedding was queuing up to get theirs done. He even stayed past his time to finish. Would definitely recommend Alan 😊😊 5 stars!!!!
Alan created caricatures of our guests on our wedding day and was fantastic. Lots of great feedback, he was on time for the two hour slot and managed to fit in plenty of people. He was even able to grab a photo and finish some of the drawings off when the guests were needed in photos etc. Would definitely book again!
Great service!
Alan was a true professional from start to finish, he just mingled amongst the guests delivering great pictures. To have Alan at this corporate function was a real ice breaker with people and got them laughing and talking to each other. Totally brilliant and I can’t thank Alan enough for making this event extra special.
Really professional! Great service !
Great communication, and was able to accommodate a change in plans without issue. Was a fun addition to the party, and great value.
Wow what can I say about Alan Simpson . He was just amazing . I can’t believe how many drawings he did all to perfection . He pitched himself perfectly at the venue . The guests couldn’t stop talking about him . I wished I had booked him for longer and I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye . I would highly recommend Alan . His personality shone through to us whilst we sat for him . Thank you for help in making my daughter and son in laws wedding perfect
Alan was spot on, also with his drawings and general attitude. Good man to work with a such a pleasant guy. 5 stars from me easy!
Alan was just amazing! He was very calm and collected and managed to execute seamlessly. His artwork was great and captured the characteristics of each person brilliantly! I can not fault him! He is WONDERFUL!
Great, Alan the Caricaturist was superb!
Alan’s attendance at my parent’s golden wedding party was a huge success. We had so many comments from guests about what a good idea it was to have him there. His pictures were funny, slightly ‘cheeky’ as you would expect, and a lovely keepsake for people to take away.
Alan was friendly, professional and flexible and managed to draw an incredible number of people in the time he was there (which was longer than we had agreed). I would employ him again in a heartbeat.
Having Alan at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. He was an absolute hit during our reception. He was fun and interesting, and was so ruthless and truthful and everyone loved it so much! Huge thank you to him, and I would recommend him to everyone as a great addition to their wedding!
We cannot recommend this gentleman enough, we initially booked Alan from 6-9 fore a 3 hour slot, the wedding was delayed hence everything else was delayed too, alan Turned up at 5.30- to set up his equipment unaware of the delay, Alan simply said not a problem I will wait.
6.30 and Alan could setup is equipment, everybody loved the work that he did for them, he was a true professional, he guy did not leave until 10.45 he never turned anybody down I had to say to him that it was time that he packed up otherwise he would have been there all night.
We cannot recommend this gent enough, great guy, great Caricaturist.
Thank you guys so much for all of your help at POP Top
Alan was a joy to work with. He was reliable, professional and his caricatures were amazing! He truly added a special touch to our event. We couldn’t have asked for a better caricaturist to capture our guests on the day and send them home with a fab memory of our party.
Alan was great. He is a very talented artist and everyone enjoyed their drawings.
