TRADITIONAL CARICATURE QUESTIONS
​
Q. How many people can you draw in one hour?
​
A. I can draw 30+ black and white faces per hour. That's twice as fast as most caricaturists. If you choose bodies the fee is the same but I can draw about 20 of them in one hour. Color faces I can do about 15 in one hour. And full color faces with bodies I can do about 5 in one hour.
​
Q. How many people can you fit on one drawing?
​
A. As many as you want! But if you want more than about 8 you'll need to let me know ahead of time so I can procure bigger paper.
​
​
Q. What equipment do you need?
A. All I need is three chairs – one for me and two for the people being drawn –they should be kitchen-type or folding chairs - in a relatively well-lit area or full shade if outdoors. I do not need a table as I bring my own easel. I can provide chairs if you have no access to chairs. Please notify me if I will need to bring my own tent.
​
Q. Will you pre-print my logo or info on my paper?
A. Absolutely! They are considered add-ons and I only charge you what my printer charges me. FYI Black and white are much cheaper.

Q. Are there any additional fees?
A. A travel fee might apply – but only if you are farther than 50 miles from my home in Fairhope, Alabama.
Often this fee is only for gas and is under $100. There might also be a parking fee depending on your venue.

DIGITAL CARICATURE QUESTIONS
​
Q. What is Digital Caricature? Is it the same as AI?
​
A. Digital caricature (and art) is still hand drawn. The tools are just different. Instead of marker and paper,
I use a stylus and a tablet or a Wacom tablet.
I actually really hate AI "Art" because all it does is steal from artists who put their images on the internet. It literally doesn't make anything of its own.
​
Q. How many people can be drawn in one hour?
A. 10 or more guests can be drawn in one hour. Even if not everyone is able to be drawn, the novelty of the medium provides fun entertainment to bystanders. It’s amazing just to watch drawings unfold.
Q. How much space do you need?
A. I will need space for a table at least three feet long with an electrical outlet and two chairs.
​
Q. What do I need to provide?
A. I will need a small table and two chairs near an electrical outlet. Other than that, all other equipment is provided, including a 42 inch LED screen. Wifi is required for emailed digital drawings. If none is available, I will download the drawings as soon as I get home.
Q. How will people get their digital copies?
A. After the event, usually the same day, I will upload all the drawings to each individual's email. I name my drawings the person's email address so they don't get mixed up, and I will also email you all copies at the end of the the event, which gives you the drawings for your promo and the emails for follow-up.
The largest event I've ever done was for Samsung at CES in Las Vegas for their product release of their Galaxy Note in 2012. This was a gathering of just some of the caricature artists that worked at that event.
WEDDING QUESTIONS
​
Q. How will guests bring home their drawings?
​
A. I roll their drawings and put the guests names on the back. This works just fine. Sleeves or Frames can be provided at cost.
My drawings are twice as large as most other caricaturists (12X18) to be able to fit more people in them, so sleeves are more expensive which is why they're not included.
​
Q. Should I have you for the cocktail hour or the reception?
​
A. I can do either one but generally I recommend the reception or both unless you're having a very intimate wedding.
​
Q. How can I ensure all my guests get drawn?
​
A. I will recommend more artists if you need them however most weddings of 100 guests I can accommodate within 3-4 hours of drawing.
​
Q. Do you do digital for weddings?
​
A. Yes! and I'm also the ONLY
