Hey yall!


So I drew Caricatures at a lovely wedding the other night.


AND 💯% of the people got drawn.



Every. Last. Person.


This is evidently rare for other artists.


It’s rare enough that on goofy faces, the booking app, they claim that only 60% of people typically get drawn at their events.


They also say that most caricaturists only draw 10-15 drawings per hour.


I draw 2-3 TIMES that many

- 20 to 30 per hour -

and evidently the quality isn’t suffering because like I said 100% of the people got drawn.


And they often do at events where I’m drawing caricatures.


Let me show you how that saves you money.


If you hire an artist who only draws

10 or 15 per hour

and they’re charging 200 per hour

that’s 20 bucks a head.


If you hire me,

(the fastest draw in the south)

drawing 20 people per hour

at 200 an hour

that’s ten bucks a head.


If there are more people and

I draw 30 per hour

that’s only

FIVE bucks a head.


See where I’m going with this?


This is why you want to hire me.


I save you time AND money.

And your guests will LOVE their drawings.


So much so that EVERYONE will want one.



Not just 60% (is that for real?!?)



Even your grandma!



I deliver.
