Overview
Drawing caricatures is my full time job and my goal is to ENTERTAIN your guests! I started drawing caricatures over 25 years ago. I draw at weddings, company picnics, colleges, trade shows, festivals and other family and company events. I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Growing up my father was in the Navy so I lived in the Philippines, California, Hawaii and outside Washington DC.

Brian was very friendly and everyone loved getting this extra piece for our event.
They were a little hesitant at first, but once they got started they were sad they missed out on getting one. Definitely recommend Brian! His charicatures were spot on for our employees and when we do our next event, he's already been requested!

Brian was excellent. His work is the best I’ve seen and I’ve hired many character artists over the years for our events. He is extremely professional, flexible, low maintenance, great personality, and very very talented.

Thanks Kasie!
Brian was amazing! He was a great communicator, positive attitude and his caricatures were beautiful and very impressive! When we have another event I will definitely be asking Brian to come back!

Brian did a wonderful job at my sons' birthday party. His drawings were a hit with everyone, including my 80 year old aunt who rushed over to have her picture made. Brian was very professional, even in the face of some of the brattier children in attendance.

Thanks for including my caricatures at the party Jeremy!
My event was changed. It was decided I would send Brian a picture of the individual and he would create my sketch. I do not need this sketch until sometime this month.

Brian did an awesome job! He was very involved with our personal caricature for our wedding and a huge hit with our guests! We received many compliments on having a caricature instead of a photobooth, not to mention his drawings were spot on!
Caricaturist
Brian was fantastic!! He was very responsive, easy to coordinate with, and SO talented! He added a unique experience to our wedding day. Lots of people just wanted to watch him in action, and many got to take home a personalized piece of art with them. I’d pick him over a photo booth any day!

Thanks Kristin! I had a wonderful time drawing caricatures of your wedding guests! There were so many fun and interesting personalities to capture. All the best, Brian.
Brian was such a great addition to our event. He showed up ready to go before the event started and was a trooper to the massive lines we had going for people wanting drawings. We look forward to booking again in the future.

We hired Brian to do caricatures for our company end of year celebration. He worked diligently with me, including with a snow storm postponing our event. Our employees loved his work. He was kind, professional, and personable with everyone. Employees are still showing off their caricatures.

If you want your guests to have an amazing evening, book Brian to draw their caricature. He is professional, prompt and very courteous. He was the hit of the evening! Everyone loved him and his awesome drawings. He's a true artist and will make your party one to remember.

About
I draw live quick sketch caricatures at your event. I am paid per hour and the guests do not pay for the drawings.
Hire Brian for Weddings, Birthday Parties, Family Reunions, School Proms, Company Picnics, Trade Shows, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Corporate Events, Private Parties, Picnics and Grand Openings. Gift caricatures can be drawn from photographs.
At events I provide all my supplies to draw. I bring the paper, markers, lights if needed and easel I draw from.
On average I draw a black line caricature portrait in 3 minutes. I can place couples together on the same page.
Gift Caricatures: I can create a gift caricature from provided photos. Details about the illustration can be incorporated in the rendering. For commissions I use archival inks and can color the illustration in watercolors. I also can create digital illustrations.
Contact me if you have any questions and would like to hire me for your event.
Additional Booking Notes
All I need is good lighting to see my subject well.
