Drop Dead Caricatures

Humorous Portraits

Dave has been drawing caricatures since 1993, and has travelled widely drawing live customers at weddings, corporate functions and holiday resorts. A range of his designs have also sold as T-shirts and framed prints, featuring popular TV characters.

Rather than producing a standardised cartoon, he focuses on capturing the recognisable likeness of a person, and produces an A3 portrait in a few minutes that will make a hilarious and memorable souvenir of the event! He can either set up in one location or move from table to table, drawing each person there and then even asking guests to nominate who they'd like to see targeted next.

He will also produce more detailed work in the studio in watercolour for use in published material such as flyers, invitations and web-pages, or as a special (and surprise!) framed presentation gift for retirements, achievements, anniversaries etc.

Now offering:

For every live caricature booking, I am offering a free complimentary caricature to be drawn in advance from emailed digital photos. For 2 hour bookings I offer a pastel portrait, and for 3-hour ones a higher quality watercolour. For corporate events this could be of a member of staff or management, or for weddings a double of the bride and groom that can be used as a welcome board.

I can also produce Photoshopped work, either purely using composites of photographs, or with scanned caricatures blended with photos.

Testimonials

Dave was absolutely brilliant. We had guests lining up for their pictures and he was great in trying to get round to everybody. He carried on during the wedding breakfast and was fantastic. Please pass on our thanks to him - he was a complete hit with everyone even my little 4 year old niece!!!

Hi, Just to let you know how happy we were with Drop Dead Caricatures at our son's wedding reception on Saturday. Dave was most polite and so easy to get on with. The guests were thrilled with their caricatures done in a short space of time and were absolutely brilliant. The children loved theirs, was not difficult to keep them still for him to draw as it only took a matter of minutes. Everyone enjoyed showing them to each other and having a really good laugh. Proved to be a very good choice of entertainment all round. We will certainly recommend him. Many thanks for the smooth running of your agency
