We hired John over the Christmas period to be the 'surprise' entertainment for the Christmas party events we were running. John's caricature skills were really impressive and everyone commented on how so delighted they were with his work. John is incredibly organised and is not afraid to get stuck in! We would definitely use John for future events, thank you!

Fun Live Caricature Session on top-quality lines

Ways to sketch at your venue:

I will use 2 metres square maxim to accommodate your guests, their drinks and myself with my equipment.

Also, I usually include a displayer to showing some samples of my previous caricatures as my artistic portfolio.

(This second option is only recommendable at least if you have enough space to walk around the tables without disturbing the people next where I stop to sketch.)
