Brilliant for parties, weddings, dinner dances, promotional/ training events and exhibitions. On-the-spot caricature portraits are a great icebreaker - they get people talking. Chris chats and jokes with guests as he draws them, which all helps to make it a fun occasion, and your guests have a permanent souvenir to take away to remind them of their day (or night!).
Emma Jones, Wedding Event, Cheshire
Christopher was absolutely fantastic! He was relentless in trying to get through all our guests and stayed late to get more done. Everyone commented on how good he was and they couldn't wait to show us their caricatures. Would definitely recommend 100%. Thanks again!
Gaynor Watson, Private Party Event, Lancashire
Chris was brilliant, everyone commented, he was friendly, patient and very professional. I would recommend your services, to everyone, thanks!
Pauline Enstone, Private Party Event, Cheshire
Hi Marie, Chris was wonderful!! I can't recommend him highly enough. Chris mixed and mingled and coped fantastically with elderley relatives( who were at first a bit puzzled by the idea but were soon won over), as well as 3 year olds that took some distracting and entertaining to keep still (ish!)
His picures were fantastic and everyone loved them. He was so quick too, every single person got a picture as a keepsake. He arrived exactly on time and was just great. Thank you Chris, it was a pleasure meeting such a talented artist, and a wonderful personality.
Leoni Bisset, Wedding, Workington, Cumbria
Hi Matt, We were absolutely thrilled with Chris and all our guests loved having something special to take away with them! Our only regret is that we didn't book Chris for longer! Everyone in the room was queuing up for theirs done! Chris by far surpassed expectations. I was also extremely happy with your service prior to the wedding and any queries were responded to quickly. Me and Chris would like to thank yourself and Chris for helping to make our day very special!

Chris’s caricature style is flattering but humorous so guaranteed not to offend. He draws mainly black and white outline sketches but can work in full colour if numbers are small.
For larger parties Chris works as a roving artist with an A4 pad, drawing quick caricatures in ink (and without the aid of an eraser!) at the rate of about 15 portraits per hour. For weddings or a dinner dance it works well if he starts drawing at drinks reception and continue round the tables through the meal which usually takes about 3 hours.
For the smaller intimate party, full colour portraits might be more appropriate. Chris draws these sat at an easel on A3 paper in ink and pastel at the rate of 5 per hour. Please be aware that reasonable lighting to do this kind of work is required.
If you want a pianist – Chris can do that as well! At weddings for instance, Chris can play piano for a civil ceremony, draw caricatures during the drinks reception and finish off with piano through the wedding breakfast, so you get two kinds of entertainer in one!
