Caricature Artists
Calgary Caricature Artists for Live Events

Most Caricature Artists can draw approximately 10–15 guests per hour, depending on the style and whether guests are drawn individually or as couples. For larger events, booking multiple artists helps ensure more guests receive drawings during the event.

Colour caricatures take a bit longer, typically 6–8 faces per hour, depending on the level of detail.

Yes! We offer digital caricature artists who draw on tablets. These drawings can be printed onsite or emailed/texted directly to guests. A screen can also be set up so guests can watch the artwork being created in real time.

Each of our caricature artists can draw approximately 10–12 guests per hour in black and white, or 6–8 per hour in colour. The ideal booking length depends on how many guests you’d like to receive caricatures. For smaller events, 1–2 hours per artist is often enough. For larger guest lists or high-traffic events, we recommend 3–4 hours or more, and we can also provide multiple artists to ensure more guests have the chance to be drawn. Not every guest will necessarily want a caricature, so it really comes down to the type of experience you want to offer. We’re happy to help you choose the best option for your event!

Absolutely! Each guest gets to take home their drawing, even the digital ones can be printed at the event, as a unique keepsake! We can also offer plastic sleeves or custom event branding on the paper, if requested.

Very little! Our artists typically bring their own easel and materials. All we ask for is 3 chairs, decent lighting, away from loud speakers or bands, and a covered area if outdoors. For Digital Caricatures, we may need access to power and Wi-Fi.

Yes! Most artists can draw couples together in the same piece. Some can even accommodate small group caricatures, depending on the time and complexity. Please note that these caricatures tend to take slightly longer to create.

Definitely! We can pre-print your logo, date, or custom message on each sheet, turning each caricature into a branded souvenir. Ask us about design options when booking.
