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 for DJ's and newsreaders.

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.

Artwork is drawn on A3 size paper (A4 for 'mix-and-mingle' events) 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 preferably 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.

We would like to thank David for the wonderful service that he provided at our daughter's wedding on Friday the 19th April 2013. Our guests were delighted with their caricatures. Not only did David arrive on time, he also stayed one and a half hours extra to ensure that all of our guests were accommodated. David was polite and his work was very good. We would use him again ourselves as well as recommend him to friends, family and colleagues. David you really enthralled our guests and made our event a resounding success. THANK YOU very much.

It was one of the best decisions that we made booking David. He was prompt and well presented, so friendly with our guests and his work was absolutely amazing. Our guests laughed all night and they thought it was awesome entertainment. David himself was a pleasure to meet and having him part of our Wedding we will never forget it.

David was amazing and the guests loved him. He made our day extra special and managed to fit all our guests in. The next day our guests spoke more about David than they did about the wedding. Highly recommended and his work was great too.

Chilled Events - Connie Parkinson, Corporate Event, West Yorkshire
The booking process was very easy. The pictures looked great, and he also brought sleeves, which we have never seen before, this was brilliant as it meant that people could take these away and they wouldn't get ruined with drinks being spilt and everything. We were pleased with the standard of the pictures that he was creating. Thank you.

Tracey Steele, Corporate Event, Lancashire
David was nothing short of SUPERB! He arrived promptly and stayed well past the time we had booked him for, which he didn't have to do. His professionalism was amazing and everyone who met him commented on how great they thought he was. In short, Many thanks to Warble Entertainment for recommending him for our event. I will CERTAINLY be passing on your details to anyone I know who is organising an event and requires something a bit different! Many Many Thanks.

Nicholas O'Shea, Charity Event, Shropshire
Excellent service from Samantha....... we were struggling to find an artist for our STAND UP TO CANCER charity fundraiser THAT evening!!!!!!! We had been let down. Samantha was confident she could help us, and within an hour we had a confirmed booking and deposit paid!...... what a RELIEF. David turned up at our house, well on time to set up and settle in for his evening task! You could not ask for a nicer, friendlier, man to enter your home. His work was SUPERB. We had a great evening.

Fiona Doherty, Wedding Event, Warwickshire
We can't praise David enough. He was absolutley wonderful and really added to our special day. All of our guests were highly entertained and commented afterwards how fun it had been to have him there as they all had a momento of the day which was much more personal than table favours or almonds! David was most gracious and professional and introduced himself on arrival and then stayed around till the end of the dinner to do a final drawing of us (the bride and groom) which was very much appreciated. I would most certainly recommend David and Warble to friends and family, his artwork was fabulous and the manner in which he worked his way away the room was most impressive. A truly talented gentleman. Fiona and Paul Kirrane

David arrived punctually and ahead of time, even though he had been occupied at another event 2.5 hours away.

David arrived on time and was set-up on time. Brilliant caricaturist, friendly and a good hardworker!

Naomi Mcleod, Wedding Event, South Yorkshire
We booked David for our wedding as many guests had never met and we where looking for an icebreaker. David contacted me prior to the event to discuss what I wanted and I am so pleased that I listened to his advice as it worked brilliantly. David was very professional and polite. He was great at putting people at ease and his drawings where so good, guests where queuing all night. David stayed over his booked time as he did not leave until everyone who wanted a picture had one. Drawings where amazing and guests now have something to keep as a reminder of our wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to book David again and would highly recommend him for any occasion as his he manages to make brilliant caricatures that are inoffensive which in itself is no mean feat!!! Just like to say a BIG thank you xxx

Thanks for being a part of our day that guests commented on and enjoyed. Highly recommended!

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 free transparent wallet for protection against any damage or spillages.

Q. What size paper do you use?
A. Working from a stationary position, artwork will be provided on A3 sized paper, A4 for 'mix-and-mingle' events.

Q. Do you work from a stationary position or do you mingle with the crowd?
A. My best work comes from a stationary position working from 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. I am available for 2, 3 or 4-hour sets. Also available to work longer with breaks.

Please allow up to 10 minutes for set-up.
David would require a small area with a couple of chairs for guests with good lighting.
Caricatures usually take 5 minutes per person (everyone is different!)
Drawings are completed using quick-dry black marker pens (with shading) on A3 or A4-sized paper.
Guests are handed a free plastic wallet to protect the artwork from damage or spillages.
