LIVE CARICATURES FOR *YOUR* NEXT PARTY
For an hourly rate, I draw classic, live caricatures of your guests for any type of event (wedding, birthday, company picnic, and plenty more). I draw FAST (around 14 faces per hour) so your guests can get back to the party. Traditional paper caricatures make a great memento of your event that your guests will treasure for years to come!
Carl was amazing at our 400+ person event at Microsoft and made everyone happy with their drawings. He was easy to work with and did an amazing job. Highly recommend.
Response from Carl's Caricatures:
It was such a joy working with Morgan and the whole team. I hope you'll have me back next year :D
Carl was incredibly communicative and our guests loved him and his work! Highly recommend!
Carl was great. His work was good, he was on time, and very professional.
Response from Carl's Caricatures:
Thanks Sarah, It was such a pleasure drawing for the big day :)
Carl was punctual, professional & a great asset to my event- I would highly recommend his services and plan on hiring him again in the future- his artwork was accurate, detailed, and quick! He was able to provide a drawing for every guest in the time allotment! Thanks for making my party a memorable experience;)
Response from Carl's Caricatures:
Thanks Tammy! Your party was a blast and your guests were a delight to draw :D
Carl was very professional throughout the process. He is a very kind individual that everyone at the party enjoyed working with. Carl made the initiative to contact me prior to the event to finalize details, he showed up early to set up and continuously kept drawing the entire time. I ended up buying extra time because the guests enjoyed him so much. I will definitely continue to do business with Carl for other events and will absolutely recommend him to others!
Carl was excellent to work with. He is friendly, professional, communicates excellently, and was flexible to arrive an hour earlier than anticipated due to a schedule change on our part. I can recommend Carl again! Thank you, Kevin Hunter, VP of The Fellowship Network NW Region
Response from Carl's Caricatures:
Thanks Kevin! You and your Fellowship were a treat to work with. I'm so happy everyone enjoyed their drawings :)
Would recommend to anyone! What a fun experience for all. Carl’s drawings were fantastic and he was wonderful to work with.
Response from Carl's Caricatures:
Thanks Meagan!
You and the whole team at Macy's were a joy to work with. I hope to have the chance to draw for you all again in the future.
It was a fun feeled night and all the kids loved Carl's work! I will definitely be booking him again.

First I'll touch base with you by email or phone to go over any questions and confirm details for the location and parking. Then on the day of the event, I'll arrive roughly 30 mins in advance to set up my station, and begin drawing guests from the start time until however long I've been hired.
If you decide you'd like me to stay longer, I usually can accommodate that for the same hourly rate.
I've been doing caricatures for over two decades and drawing my whole life. I started caricatures at Six Flags New England in Western Massachusetts, then continued my work at a wide range of events including Weddings, Birthdays, Company Picnics, Sweet Sixteens, Bar Mitzvahs and School Fairs. Since then I've taken my trade to the Pacific Northwest where I've drawn throughout the Puget Sound area.
I pride myself in drawing a real likeness of my model, and not just making a "generic-cature."
If you choose me for your event's entertainment, your guests will leave with a memento they'll treasure for years to come! :D
*Covid related note* I can state that I am fully vaccinated, boosted, and can fully mask during your event. I take covid precautions seriously and am happy to take steps to assure your event is both Safe and fun.
I have a very simple set up: all I really need to work is a designated spot to set up, preferably somewhere with at least a moderate amount of light (enough to see my models and my paper)
I bring my own chair and drawing table, but I require at least two chairs for guests when I draw them, and a small side table to set my supplies (a third chair will also do in a pinch)
