Cheerful Caricatures sketching a guest live at an event

Cheerful Caricatures brings friendly, flattering live caricature to weddings, parties, corporate events and festivals. A professional cartoonist with more than 25 years of drawing behind him, he loves chatting with guests as he sketches, and his caricatures are always kind - funny, recognisable and never cruel.

He draws around 12 to 14 guests an hour on prepared A4 sheets that can be personalised with a message of your choice, so every guest goes home with a unique keepsake. For weddings and milestone birthdays there is also the option of a larger colour caricature of the couple or guest of honour, which everyone signs on the day.

Alongside weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties, he is a regular at some of the biggest festivals in the country, and works at conferences, awards ceremonies, exhibitions and staff events, where a caricaturist is a proven ice breaker and draws a crowd to a stand.

Based in Cambridgeshire, Cheerful Caricatures travels throughout the UK, from Cornwall to the north of Scotland. Browse a selection of his live event work below.

“Cheerful Caricatures was out of this world - his art was by far the best thing we booked for our wedding, he was worth every single penny we spent! Our guests were amazed at his work and thrilled they had such a personal piece of the day to take home with them, and to top it off he is such a likeable man! Honestly, we can't recommend him enough!”

“Cheerful Caricatures drew caricatures of all our guests at my husband's 60th birthday party and he was a hit with them all! What a lovely chap who worked the room, and his sketches were excellent. He also offered the additional service of a more detailed picture of my husband, which all our guests signed on the night. Such a wonderful present for me to give to him.”

“Outstanding service from start to finish. Cheerful Caricatures attended our festival style wedding and drew guests throughout the evening. All the drawings were fantastic and we had a lot of comments that it was a great idea. We also had a large image of the two of us for guests to sign - a great idea that's left us with a lovely keepsake.”
