I'd love to come entertain at your event...and I do mean entertain.
When you hire me, you actually get 2 forms of entertainment for the price of one. How so? In addition to creating spot-on, hilarious cartoon renderings of your guests, I also take great pride in my ability to relax, engage and entertain people of all ages. A natural born showman with a comedic twist, I will have your guests in stitches, whether they're being drawn or not.

Your guests will be entertained threefold:
a)while being drawn
b)upon seeing their drawing
c)while they're watching my next "victim" get drawn!
AND they get a take home their drawing as a souvenir!

I've been in the caricature/tattoo business exclusively for 10 years now and estimate to have drawn approximately 30,000 caricatures to date. I've run retail caricature and tattoo operations at Six Flags, Yankee Candle amongst other locations, where I have also trained and mentored dozens of artist's over the years. Simply put, you will be getting a premier entertainer for your event, so book now before someone else does!

For each service, I charge $125 per hour($50 per half hour for overtime, if need be) and 50 cents per round trip mile.

I can draw up to 15 faces per hour in black and white. I can also provide beautiful airbrush color, which takes about 30% longer per drawing. I charge $150 per hour for color.

I provide plastic sleeves to roll the drawings up in for free, or can provide protective covers(flat mylar sleeves with chipboard backings) for an additional $25 per hour. I can also provide frames(12"x16") for $12 per frame. Your guest could decide if they want to purchase these at the time.

Airbrush tattoos take only seconds to apply and last up to a week. New, multi-colored glitter tattoos last even longer and can be applied to the face! I have all different sizes and styles to suit any age and taste preference.

I bring my own drawing desk and chair. All I would need from you is a couple of chairs(I can also bring chairs if need be), about 5'x5' of space and an outlet to plug my lights and airbrush compressor.
Thanks again for your inquiry, and please let me know if you've any questions! I look forward to taking your event to the next level of entertainment!
