Hello! My name is Bill Burbridge. I draw caricatures. I have twenty-four years experience in the cartooning field. I have worked in theme parks such as Sea World and Disney World of Florida. Now, my base of operation is in Jacksonville, Florida. Primarily, I draw at parties, Weddings, bah mitzvahs, reunions, corporate events, anniversaries and trade shows. Also, I do gift caricatures for novelty presents.
I can draw fifteen to twenty black and white faces per hour. All drawings are rendered on 11x14 inch card stock. I supply a 13x17inch , clear, plastic bag to display and protect the art. My medium is ink and airbrush.
Thank You,
Bill

At most of my contracted events, clients request that I draw black and white head shots. These sketches can easily accommodate a large group of people as they are quick, efficient and equitable. However, in the event that there are less guests, I can draw more elaborate pictures. Sometimes, I will render a full body with a themed environment in the background. in rare situations, I will apply color. As a caveat to the client, the more elaborate a composition is, the less volume I can produce for the entirety of the event. Ultimately, I will honor the requests of the client.
In 1993 I enrolled into FCCJ community college in Jacksonville, Florida where I claimed a major in Film Technology. After I graduated with my Associates degree, I transferred to UCF in Orlando, Florida. There I continued my education as a Film Animation student. I graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's degree. In 1999 I landed my first caricature gig at Sea World Of Florida. Soon to follow, I was hired as a sketch artist at Disney World in Orlando. I was contracted by Disney for four years. By 2003, I felt confident enough to leave the world of theme park drawing and moved back to my home town of Jacksonville, Fl. After returning home, I began working full time as a freelance caricature artist. In North East Florida, I have continued to hone my skill and expand my business.
I will bring with me a portable, fold out, French easel, 11x14inch card stock, 13x17inch plastic bags, 14x17inch drawing board, and markers all contained in a brand mobile folding cart.

As far as the art of caricature is concerned, originally, I was influenced by my first employer and teacher Dino Casterline of Sea World Orlando. In addition to Dino's distinctive cartooning style, I became steeped in the articulate, structural approach of the Universal artists also of Orlando. Since then, whenever possible, I have attended the ISCA (International Society Of Caricature Artists) conventions. At these conventions, I have been influenced and inspired by too many great artists to mention. Of some of the more international and illustrative talents, I include Jan Op De Beeck, Joe Bluhm and Court Jones as my role models.
The best thing about being an artist, is that the journey never ends. Every day I encounter new, revolutionary talents that reignite the creative spark in my mind and contribute to my doodling lexicon.
Typically, I request that the client provide: three chairs, a 10x5ft space and electrical for my lights.
