If the traditional style is more up your alley, they have you covered! They can draw approximately 18-20 per hour in black and white and 12-15 in color.
You can choose either color or black and white for they also continue the heritage of the great classical media artists like Daumier and DaVinci, as they draw in pen/ marker and paper as well for e reduced rate.

• My overall experience with Caricatures by Ryan was superb. He was punctual for the event and very entertaining. At first we were thinking of getting a face painter for our daughters 5th bday party, but went with a caricaturist instead. The children absolutely loved it not to mention the parents. Not only did they have a great time at the party, but the guests were able to keep pictures which they can always reflect back on and cherish. Will definitely consider Ryan for any future events. Highly recommended!!! Jerome -- Jerome W, Melbourne, FL, 1/31/2010
