Bill's Caricatures

Bill Burbridge Has been drawing caricatures professionally for the past twelve years. In 1998, Bill achieved a bachelor's degree in Film Animation from the University Of Central Florida. After graduating, Bill worked as a caricaturist for Sea World of Florida. He quickly advanced to Walt Disney World of Orlando whare he operated caricature stands and designed cartoons for Disney. After three years of Disney apprenticeship, he moved back to his home town of Jacksonville, Florida. There, he began to freelance as a caricaturist. Since then, he has drawn at parties ,bahmitzvas, picnics, weddings, grand openings, special events, and malls of Jacksonville and beyond. At present, Bill has worked all over the continental United states and is always open to new opportunities in his field. Some of the clients Bill Burbridge has worked for are: AT&T, Blue Cross Blue Shield, P.R.I, Bailey Publishing and Communications, Walt Disney World, Sea World, Petco, Grant Thornton, and Day's Inn. Bill's medium of choice is ink and airbrush. He draws on high quality 11x14inch card stock. He places each caricature in a protective 13x17inch plastic covering. Typically, Bill brings a small foldout easel. For lighting, he uses two illumination devices. Bill can draw 15 to 20 black and white faces per hour, 12 to 15 black and white shaded faces per hour, 10 to 12 color faces per hour, and 8 to 10 color bodied per hour. All Bill Burbridge requires from the client is two chairs, an electrical outlet and a room full of smiling faces. Bill Burbridge looks forward to meeting and working with new friends everyday. Bill's only mission is to leave behind laughing crowds within his wake.

• Bill was such a hit! We had over 100 people at our Halloween party. I'm not sure exactly how many pics he drew but all of the kids (around 40) and many of the adults got one. Everyone was so impressed and it made the party very special. He worked for 3 hrs straight and I know that he worked an event earlier in the day. He must have been exhausted but he showed no signs of it. He happily worked with everyone who sat down in front of him and did a great job. I would hire him again in a minute! -- Laura Z, Middleburg, FL, 10/23/2010
• I would highly recommend Bill's Caricatures to anyone for any party or occasion. I hired Bill for my tween daughter's surprise party and he was the hit! Each girl sat for and brought home an original caricature of herself and several of the moms thanked me for the great gift and have since framed them for their child's room. We will be using ours for our holiday card this year. His fees were better than reasonable to begin with - but when our time was up and a few additional people wanted to be done, Bill stayed until each and everyone (adults included) had their very own work of art to walk away with. He was professional, funny, unobtrusive, and entertaining! -- Mary C, Jacksonville, FL, 1/30/2010
• He was professional and he tells you what you can expect by having him as entertainment and what you need to do depending on the size of your party. His price was comparable to any other type of (children) entertainment. He provided envelopes for the drawings, so instead of goodie bags, we put a label on the envelope saying "Thank you for coming to..." It's a great souvenir for the kids and parents instead of toys/candies that end up in the garbage anyways-So not only was he great entertainment to watch/but he provided the souvenirs as well. -- Evelyn G, Jacksonville, FL, 1/3/2009
