Booked for Celebration

Really cool portrait concept, all the guests absolutely loved it. Many have since told me they are planning on framing it and putting it up in the house - no better compliment than that!

Booked for Corporate Function

We used Alan recently at a manufacturer conference. He was a great addition. Delegate loved having their pictures drawn. Alan was very professional and is amazing at what he does. He was very prompt and reliable, a pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation of using him again and I can highly recommend.

Booked for Wedding

Pete was exceptional. From start to finish, always great at coming back on messages and answering any questions. Such a friendly and professional person to work with and a great addition to our wedding day. The caricatures he did of our guests were lovely, delicately done, very accurate and also flattering (sometimes you see some awful ones!). We had guests of all ages and he made everyone feel very welcome and at ease. Highly recommend, would def work with him again.

All live artists are NOT the same. Good ones are rare! I am renowned as one of the UK's most sought-after live event caricaturists, with the skills and experience to back this up. I have a confident, clean style and, most importantly of all, an ability to capture phenomenal, undeniable likenesses. Combine this with a naturally friendly and approachable manner, and you have a truly unique entertainment choice that will keep your guests talking and the 'buzz' going long after the day has ended!

About supplier

Many caricaturists boast of entertaining guests "with cheeky charm and witty banter". Me? I passionately believe that the art should do the talking. So while you can be sure I'm a friendly conversational guy, my #1 goal is to provide funny, undeniably pitch-perfect likenesses. Every single time.
