I am a caricature artist, cheek painter and illustrator that interacts and entertains people of all walks of life. My live Caricatures add spice to all sorts of parties and events. I have a degree in studio art from the University of Kentucky and have been doing freelance illustration and design for over 10 years. I publish a comic strip online and have illustrated children's books and self published comic books. I have done caricatures and cheek painting for wedding receptions, festivals, birthday parties and graduation parties. I have also drawn superheroes for kids at comic book stores. I love drawing and interacting with people.
Such a great addition to any event! Personable, friendly and wonderful drawings that all of guests enjoyed!
We had to cancel the event due to heavy rains and heavy winds from the hurricane Helena. We are rescheduling for October 14.
Randy was amazing! We hired him for our retail store's anniversary party and offered free caricatures to our customers. It was such a hit! Randy is so friendly and talented. The perfect addition to our party!
Randy was wonderful. He arrived on time, was kind, was easy to work with and our patrons were all thrilled with their caricatures. I heard nothing but compliments and praise from our patrons about his work! We are so thankful to have had him at our event to have made it even better!
Randy Gray did a great job at our party. He was able to get everyone involved and all enjoyed the caricatures he drew. I would recommend him without exception.
Randy was amazing as always!! I appreciate his patients and kindness. I’m a forever customer!
Booked a caricature for my daughters birthday. Each person got their own drawing. Randy did an amazing job, as he is very talented and quick. Everyone loved their drawings and had lots of laughs. He was punctual and overall was great.
Professional, prompt and wonderful with the 13 preteen girls at my daughter’s birthday party! H
Randy was absolutely amazing!!! I would definitely book him again for any event. We had a prom for individuals with physical and developmental disabilities and he just did such an excellent job. He was great when interacting with our individuals and literally made sure everyone that wanted a caricature received one. The quality of the drawings were great and will be treasured by our guys. Thank you for making this such a memorable evening for our guys!!!
Mr.Gray,
Thank you for making my Son's 4th Birthday so amazing. You understood the assignment sir. Kids are hard to keep still and you were able to get everyone(Children included). WHILE THEY WERE IN MOTION!!!! I will defiantly be using your services again.
Thanks again,
This is my second time booking Randy for my kids birthday parties. He was amazing. I will be booking again next year.
We reached out to Randy last minute when we made it to Louisville for a family vacation. He dropped what he was doing and met up with us without hesitation. Randy is a very professional and talented artist! We couldn’t be happier with our Caricature Portrait that he knocked out in about 30 minutes. Highly recommend Randy for any setting or event that you hold!
Randy is an incredible artist and his caricatures were right on! Everyone at our event loved his work we kept him busy the entire time. He was super easy to work with and we hope to do business with him again. Thanks Randy!
Showed up early to allow time for set up. Was very friendly! Our guests loved getting their caricature done by Randy!
Randy did an awesome job at my daughters 5th birthday. Can’t wait to book him for future events!
I will be recommending Randy to anyone planning an event. He has a good eye for his art. He was able to produce great work in the 4 hour event window we booked with him, making more than a dozen caricatures. Professional at every step! Thanks, Randy, for your time and patience.
Randy came in, on time, smile on his face and ready to rock. EVERY guest made at least one trip to see him, he handled the flow brilliantly and left every person there with huge smiles on their faces. We couldn't possibly be happier with his work, his demeanor or his professionalism. RANDY WAS GREAT!
We hired Randy for our wedding this past weekend (September 10th, 2022) and he was fantastic. Everyone loved their caricatures, and Randy himself was professional, fun, and in his own words "in the zone" the whole 3 hours! We are going to recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for a caricature artist for their event. Thanks again, Randy!
Amazing experience! Very kind and professional. Would definitely book again in the future.
Randy was a joy to have at our Christmas luncheon. He really brought life to our event. Randy was an amazing talent and he worked so quickly! We will be using his services again soon.
I booked Randy as a surprise for my wedding guests and they absolutely loved him! Everyone raved about his work and how quickly he was able to draw. Randy was so nice and very easy to work with. Simply put- BOOK HIM!!!

He works well and efficiently, but takes his time with people. He is so sweet and we are SO happy we had him at our event. He definitely made the night extra special for us and our guests.

I had Randy come for my baby's first birthday & do caricature drawings for our guests. He did some awesome portraits & everyone had so much fun! Randy is so nice & professional - Thanks again !
Our guest enjoyed Randy Gray Caricatures. The guest at my daughters wedding loved having this as entertainment & also having an unusual keepsake. Lots of laughter & fun had by all. Thanks for a job well done!
He was so much fun and is so talented!
Price Range: $60-$75 per hour
I provide fun caricatures for all ages. I am able to do between 7 and 10 an hour in black and white. i will usually do a more elaborate caricature for the guest of honor. For face painting I do mostly cheek art and some partial face designs. I will sometimes ask to take pictures for my portfolio. I don't mind people watching me work, I I consider it part of the job.
