We really enjoyed having Eric! He was kind, professional and left our guests with a smile!!!
Eric has been a staple at our last 3 corporate events! His work is exceptional, and he's super fast.
Thanks Eric for helping to make the Brady event a huge success!
Eric was fabulous! We were able to book him with only a couple days notice for an event in Bristol, TN. He jumped on the opportunity! We are so grateful it worked out, as the client wanted a sketch artist for the event more than anything else. THANK YOU ERIC! You made the event a true party!

Thank you , It was worth the trip and I am glad I was able to make the day more fun.

Hi, I’m caricaturist Eric Melton. I provide fun and memorable caricatures for your special event, party, wedding reception, trade show, or corporate function in Charlotte and parts of North and South Carolina. I serve most major cities including Raleigh, Durham, Asheville, Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and everything in between. With 30+ years experience in the business, I strive for caricatures that are funny but not cruel or demeaning, sure to leave your guest with a great memento of the event. I will engage with your clients and make them feel comfortable and relaxed. And as an added bonus, I carry liability insurance for that extra peace of mind against the unforeseen.
I require a space of approx 6 x6 foot although space for people to stand and watch is highly recommended. I should be placed in an area within visual proximity of guests not too close to loud music so that I can interact with guests. I require a power outlet to plug in my light. If your event is being held outside please provide shelter from elements.
