We love drawing live caricatures at festivals, events, family reunions, corporate vents, trade shows, parties in Christchurch New Zealand - truly a form of entertainment suited for any age groups, size of event, and occasion. We offer 3 different mediums of caricature to bring a smile to your guests faces.
Traditional caricatures are drawn on high quality heavy weight art paper with marker - the way you remember seeing caricature artists draw on city streets. With advances in technology, we are excited to offer digitally drawn caricatures for your next event. The live artist onsite will draw your guests on a tablet or specialized computer and display for your guests to see. For smaller groups, remote locations, online business meetings, classrooms or special occasions where perhaps not everyone can be together in the same location - why not give virtual caricatures a try. Similar to digital caricatures, our artwork is displayed by share screen for you and your guests to enjoy the process. See below for more information.

You critique the new draft and approve or request new changes. We repeat these steps in two rounds of changes. Additional changes after the two rounds are billed on an hourly basis.
