Would 100% book him again"
Francesco gets a solid 5 out of 5 from us; he entertained our guests in a very friendly and professional manner and his drawings were excellent. We got lots of great comments back from our guests and we would definitely book him again.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your excellent service during Uni Camp this year. The students all really enjoyed themselves. It was great that they had something so special to take away with them to remind them of their amazing week at the University of Suffolk!
"""Just wanted to say a big big thank you to Francesco for attending our wedding & drawing the most amazing caricatures of our guests. He arrived & set up straight away and my guests started putting their names down on a list. Francesco sat there for the full time we had booked didn't move & drew one guest after another. The caricatures were absolutely amazing and captured the guests features perfect!"" Mr. & Mrs. Howard, Doncaster, June 2017"
"We had Francesco come draw caricatures for all our guests at our wedding this weekend. Him & his partner travelled all the way from London to Doncaster for us and we can honestly say every single guest loved having them there & their pictures. Francesco captured everyone's features amazing. My nanna who is also Italian loved meeting him & has been telling all the family in Italy about Francesco too. We also sent a picture to Francesco before the wedding to create an even more special caricature of us so guests could sign this on the day & he did not disappoint. Thank you so so much for all the drawings you did & for being so good with all our guests. We would definitely recommend you again.

What do you need? I bring all the equipment for drawing, including a portable chair and an easel. However I need your help in finding a corner with a good light on the venue, possibly not too close to the source of music of the party (either live or stereo). What else? I do need 3 chairs and possibly a little table, a glass of water. I do also need a break of 10-15 minutes every two hours. Can I have you moving around rather than standing at the easel? Of course! If you prefer, I can go “walkabout”, which means I will instead go around the tables, mingling with your guests always in a polite and never intrusive way. Drawing at the easel and "walkabout" can also be done in response as alternated moment of your event. Let's make an example: between 6 - 8 pm your guests will be sitting, so I can walk around the tables. But between 8 - 10 pm your guests will be drinking or even dancing, so I will be setting up my easel and they will come to my spot for a spot on caricature! Please discuss in advance with Francesco the time schedule of the event. What is the best moment to have caricatures at my event? The best time for caricature is... When your guests are in condition to smile!This means almost all the times, except when they are literally chewing. For this reason, I prefer to avoid drawing when food is served, but I am happy to draw between different servings, or who has already finished eating a dish. Can I trust you?
