David is a talented, enthusiastic caricature artist from Cheshire.
Having studied Art and Design for many years, David has provided many outstanding pieces of artwork for various clients – such as producing personal caricatures for engagements, band posters or simply gifts for friends and family. David has also worked at many live events including the Radio City 96.7 Christmas Party 2011 drawing live 'On-the-Spot' caricatures.
Available to entertain at Wedding celebrations and events of any kind, David’s style of drawing will guarantee your guests take home a perfect souvenir from your special day.
Having gained a degree in Illustration at Glyndwr University in Wrexham, North Wales, David has since gained experience by providing ‘on-the-spot’ caricatures at various parties as well as providing wonderful private commissions based on photographs.
David has a friendly, relaxing approach and will entertain your guests with his unique style of drawing which will capture your likeness while also providing plenty of laughs.
All artwork is drawn on A3 size paper which can also be specially labelled with prior notice, such as the names of the couple getting married and the date of event. Drawings usually take up to 5 minutes to complete for each person.
David works from a stationary position on a portable box easel. This allows guests to see the drawings taking place and also makes the artist more visible to those guests who wish to be drawn. Working from one position also means a lot more drawings, which offers excellent value for money!
David is also available to provide personalised Wedding Signature Boards – created in advance from your photographs, a romantic storyboard will display all the important dates leading up to your big day (first date, hen and stag nights, location of the ceremony, honeymoon destination, etc.). It can be mounted with enough space for your guests to leave you a message.

Molly, PA to Station Director, Radio City 96.7, Liverpool
I just wanted to say a really big "thank you" for coming along to our Christmas Party last year. Staff were absolutely delighted with the drawings you did and they are stuck all over the offices from Reception to the broadcast studios. Thanks so much for your valuable contribution to our party and I won't hesitate to recommend you to friends and colleagues.
Adam Hambleton, organiser of ‘The Wet Spot’ events at The Quayside, Runcorn
David has worked at a number of my events doing caricatures and has drawn up a couple of pictures for my band as well as others in the local area. He was very pleasant and works fast to a high standard. All customers came away happy with the result and the whole experience is a lot of fun and would definitely make a nice addition to any party or social event.
Sarah Cummings, Guest, Live Event
David was working at an event I attended early 2011, and I asked him to do a portrait of me and my husband. His attention to detail was astonishing; he captured my likeness perfectly. I was delighted with the end product and amazed at how quick he drew it, it now has pride of place on the wall in my house!
Q. How long does it take to draw a caricature?
A. A single caricature usually takes 5-6 minutes to draw (everyone is different!), obviously it would take longer to draw couples and groups.
Q. Will my guests to able to keep their drawings?
A. Of course! All artwork for live events is drawn with quick-dry marker pens and supplied with a sealed transparent wallet for protection against any damage or spillages.
Q. What size paper do you use?
A. All caricatures are drawn on A3 size paper. Other sizes are available on request.
Q. Do you work from a stationary position or do you mingle with the crowd?
A. I am able to 'mix and mingle' with guests, but my best work comes from a stationary position on a portable box easel. This allows better quality drawings and for other guests to see the caricatures taking place. This also lets those who wish to be drawn find me in one position rather than searching in a large crowd.
Q. How many hours do you work at live events?
A. A minimum of 2 hours for any event.
