Live caricature portraits in five minutes. Paper can be customised with a logo if desired, and portraits are designed to be fun, vivacious and capture a likeness rather that being either grotesque or randomised cartoons.

Dave was very good. He was prompt, quick and had a queue waiting to have their pictures created. We have them all displayed in the office.

amazing artist, couldn't have asked for better, all my guests had their "portrait" completed and Dave stayed longer than expected, was a great success!

Dave was absolutely brilliant at our wedding in June, we are so pleased we used Drop Dead Caracatures. We wanted something different and which was fun and our guests had something to take home. Dave was busy for the whole 3 hours he was there and I think he was there actually longer than the 3 hours. He is a superb artist, we can't believe the likeness! We highly recommend if you want something different and fun Dave is worth every penny, and he is very reasonable compared to others that we looked at. 5 stars all the way! Thank you so much Dave.

Live Caricature Portraits At Your Big Event

Live caricature portraits at your big event drawn in four or five minutes. Up to 4 people can be drawn per A3 sheet, and paper can be customised with a pre-printed message or graphic. The emphasis for portraits is on likeness and vivacity - not grotesqueness which some fear! I am free to travel anywhere in the UK, and will not add extra fees for travel unless distances are very long. Please get in touch if you have any specific questions not covered by this fixed quote.

Portraits From Photos

Essentially you send a digital photo by mail or a hard copy photo with a self-addressed envelope for return, plus any information that you feel is relevant - I do the rest. A personalised portrait makes an ideal gift for a presentation at a special event and can be framed at extra cost (individually priced). I need clear photos taken slightly from one side of the face to reveal the profile, and they're usually better with a smile. I also need a description of the person's interests, and any humorous anecdotes or running jokes associated with the person. £55 for a basic head and shoulders in Black and White. Please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements.
From: £55 per person
