You’re searching for children’s party entertainment that’s fun, easy, and totally stress-free. You just found it.

I’m Kathy Buskett, a professional caricature artist and mom of three with 26 years of experience drawing kids of all personalities — wiggly, shy, loud, and everything in between.

 

I even draw for USA Health Women’s & Children’s Hospital, so special needs, sensory sensitivities, and short attention spans don’t scare me one bit.

My live caricatures keep kids laughing, give parents a breather, and double as take-home favors, which means one less thing for you to plan.

Flattering, fast, and unforgettable — exactly what you want for your next party.

Why Caricatures By Kathy?

                           

 

As one of the fastest caricaturists in the World,

I can draw Up to 30 Faces per hour

Which saves you Stress, Time & Money

NO ONE wants to wait around all day for a drawing. Certainly not little ones!

With My Ultra-Fast Caricatures, your guests

won't be stuck waiting in a long line.

And YOU won't have to Hire me for as long. I do the work of 2-3 artists -

You only pay for one!

The last thing you want is your kid bursting into tears on their birthday.

My drawings are Flattering - no ugly, scary ones that scar kids for life

,,,and they're FUN

With my party caricatures, your child can pick from a board with tiny bodies so they know exactly what they're getting, which reduces the likelihood of meltdowns.

These cartoon bodies are themed to your event or they can be whatever they like, from disney princesses to superheroes.

Which makes it a lot more FUN

3. Great with Children

A lot of times Kids are nervous about being around a stranger. I do my best to put them at ease. I introduce myself, get a fist bump or hand shake, make eye contact and use their names as I talk to your child.

I'm a mom myself and I homeschool my own kids.

I've always been good with kids and I actually majored in education before I changed over to Fine Art. (Yes, I'm a caricaturist with an education & a fine art background. which makes me a bit of a unicorn...) 

And if your child has special needs? Well, let's just say that since I'm a mom of THREE special needs kids myself, I'm VERY familiar with varying types of ability and I have dealt with and seen it all.

What About Teens?

No Problem!

I Worked with Teens in a group home and a youth group for many years. Teens are particularly close to my heart for that reason.

I know how to treat teens and I know how to make them look adult (to make them happy) without being TOO adult (making mom and dad happy)

How Children's Party Entertainment Works

  • You Hire me to come to your birthday party or other event. We both sign a contract stipulating you receive 100% of your money back if I cancel for any reason. Then, with a 50% retainer, your date is reserved.

  • On the day of your event, I show up early to meet you & set up my easel. You don't need to provide anything but 3 chairs. I can be set up in only five minutes.

  • Then your guests can each get drawn in about two minutes or less. If there's time, I will draw your guests with whatever cartoon body they choose.

 

  • The Guest of Honor always gets something special - sometimes even color!

  • Everyone has a great time laughing and interacting -  Away from their phones

And YOU get to enjoy your own

child's Party!

  • After their drawing is done, I write the guest's names on the back of their drawings and at the end of the event,

  • They take their drawings home with them as a custom-made party favor to remember your party for years to come.

YOU get rave reviews on how AWESOME your party was! 

            Sound good? It is!

      It's a BLAST!

I use a contract to protect you because that's what reputable vendors do.

My contract protects you from no-shows and last-minute cancellations.

No other local caricaturist offers this service! 

You Always know what you're getting with my Caricatures.

I deliver what I promise!

I believe in treating my customers fairly; this is one way I help put your mind at ease.

You don't pay a cent unit the contract is signed. This protects both of us.

And if you've never done this before, please let me give you a tip: 

NEVER give anyone money without a signed contract.

The contract should be fair. it should state what happens if the artist or vendor doesn't show up. 

And you should feel comfortable with it.

You're welcome to ask for a copy of my contract.
