Brilliant for parties, weddings, dinner dances, promotional/training events and exhibitions. On-the-spot caricature portraits are a great icebreaker - they get people talking. Chris will chat and joke with guests as he draws which all helps to make it a fun occasion, and your guests have a permanent souvenir to take away to remind them of their day (or night!). My caricature style is flattering but humorous so guaranteed not to offend. I draw mainly black and white outline sketches but can work in full colour if numbers are small.

Chris can work as a roving artist drawing quick caricatures in ink (and without the aid of an eraser!) at the rate of about 15 portraits per hour. Caricatures are drawn on A4 and presented in a plastic sleeve. For formal events it works well if I start drawing at drinks reception and continue round the tables through the meal which usually takes about 3 hours. At weddings, the caricatures also work well in the gap between the wedding breakfast and the evening reception.
