CARICATURES BY LUKE WARM - The Multi-Award Winning Caricaturist for Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire!

I'm based in North Devon, have over 30 years professional experience entertaining at Weddings, Parties and Corporate Events and have won 5 Best Wedding Entertainment Awards in the past 10 years. My work has been published regularly by many national newspapers including the Financial Times, The Irish Times and the Press Association.

ON THE SPOT CARICATURING

Working on the spot, mix and mingle, it usually takes me about 6 minutes to draw each person so typically the number of people drawn would be

1hr up to 10
1.5hrs up to 15
2hrs up to 20
2.5hrs up to 25
3hrs up to 30
3.5hrs up to 35
4hrs up to 40

When I'm drawing one person there are usually 4 or 5 others guests watching and being entertained. I can work standing or sitting and can bring lights and banners to set up an informal caricature studio if required.

I'm particularly known for good likenesses and being able to put guests at their ease.

Summer Saturdays are always in high demand so I offer my best rates for either afternoon (12-5pm) or evening (7-11pm) bookings to leave 5-7pm free for travel between venues.

CARICATURES FROM PHOTOS

Caricatures drawn from photos make brilliant birthday, leaving, retirement and wedding presents. Up to 40 people can be included on one drawings. They are also used to introduce team members in Powerpoint presentations and on About Us web pages!

A Caricature of the Bride and Groom drawn in advance from photos can also be used on wedding stationery and as a wedding Guestbook - with guests signing on the mount.

PLACE SETTING CARICATURES

My Place Setting Caricatures are drawn in advance of the day from photographs on postcard size Bristol board. I can include the name of each person but half the ice-breaking entertainment value is in trying work out where to sit! They make brilliant Wedding Favours.

Please see my FAQ for more information.

Luke Warm (Mark) was amazing! He made our last few days of our "event" so special and was a massive hit with our work colleagues! I had so many complimenting him on his work. I would highly recommend him for any event, a lovely guy and very talented!

Was greeted by Luke, a very polite, well mannered gentleman, very professional and made each client feel comfortable whilst carrying out his extraordinary artistic skills.
Had 170 people at our event, many, including myself & my wife, received a Caricature, with nothing but praise, amazement & laughter.
I thoroughly recommend Luke to anyone planning to have a Caricature artist at their event.

For a last minute idea it went perfectly! I contacted Mark Nesbitt 2 weeks before my wedding, and from a set of photographs and a sketchy idea he gave me some great advice to come up with a caricature of my Best men and ushers. Taking my stag weekend theme of "Little Britain" he developed a sketch that had 100 reception guests rolling with laughter. The idea was completely unique and has given me, and my closest friends a great memento of the wedding. To deliver such a personal service, with such quality in such a short space of time was great, and worth every penny. I would highly recommend Mark and would be pleased to use his services again

FAQs

  • How long is the act?

    A typical performance is 2-3 hours. It takes me 5-6 minutes to draw each person in felt tip and so in a booking of 2 hours I'd expect to draw 20-25 people and in 3 hours 30-35. When I'm drawing one person there are generally 4 or 5 others watching and being entertained.

  • What is included in the wedding package?

    Caricatures drawn on the spot as entertainment and handed to your guests immediately at no further charge. A4 individual caricatures are provided in a protective manilla envelope; A3 caricatures or couples are rolled up in a rubber band. I always draw the Bride and Groom together at their wedding.

  • What other services to you provide?

    Caricatures drawn in advance of the wedding from photos - including a caricature of the Bride and Groom for use on Save the Date Cards, Wedding Stationery, as a Wedding Guestbook etc, Caricature Place Setting cards of all the guests, Caricatures of Best Man, Bridesmaids, Ushers etc as Thank You presents, Group caricatures of the whole wedding party etc.

  • Do you need specific materials or conditions to offer your service?

    Drawing indoors or outdoors are both fine but I do need enough light to comfortably read the small print on a newspaper, and protection from wind and rain. I bring my own PAT tested lights for evening work. To set up my mini studio area I need a space of about 2m x 3m, access to a standard 13amp plug socket for my lights and the use of 3 armless chairs. I have £5 million in Public Liability Insurance.

  • How much time do you need to prepare for an act?

    I always arrive discretely 15-30minutes early to ensure I'm ready to start at the agreed time. This includes the time necessary to set up my mini studio area with lights and banners. It's always advisable to let your venue know if I've been booked to entertain - some venues require proof of Public Liability Insurance and Risk Assessments prior to the event.
