This man is an absolute star. He is professional yet friendly and approachable. He captures a true likeness of people and gives them a funny edge! His caricatures from our wedding are fantastic and most of our guests like us are framing them to hang pride of place in their houses. I would recommend David 100% and will think of him for any future events we may hold. Many of our guests have commented how amazing our wedding reception was and I'd like to thank David for being a part of making it so special xx

I can only say that David G was one of the highlights of a great night... David came a long way to the event. Was right on time and stayed almost to the end... certainly longer than we expected. Thank you David for adding something very different to my wifes 60th Surprise Party.

    FAQs

    How fast can you draw? (a common question)
    It’s possible to get a great likeness in a few strokes, however most people like their caricature with a little more detail and I draw a caricature every 4-5 minutes. That’s between 12-16 an hour and much depends on the circumstances and how well behaved guests are. Caricatures are on A3. Silly bodies as standard.

    Do you stay in one area, or move around?
    I can mix and mingle or be situated in one place. For example at weddings I am able to do table hopping and fit into gaps around the tables or quite often in the evening reception I can pull up a couple of chairs and position myself somewhere appropriate. I am very flexible and will work hard to make it work for your event. At corporate events and award ceremonies quite often is it more practical for me to stand up and draw and be a walkabout caricaturist.

    How many caricatures can you fit on a page?
    I can draw people on their own, and I often like to use the opportunity of single caricatures to make the bodies more comical. I can draw couples and friends together, and even small groups of three.

    What is your average performance times?
    The usual is 3 hours, but anywhere between 2 – 4 hours is still usual. I can work longer at conferences and exhibitions

    Will you draw everyone?
    I will draw as many as I can in the time allowed. However, it is an entertainment for onlookers to watch others being drawn and is about the buzz it can create.

    Can I do extra time?
    Absolutely. If I do not have another prior engagement or a place to be then that’s fine. Prices are negotiated on the day or before.

    Are your drawings free or do you charge per caricature?
    All drawings are completely free. You simply pay for my time. Guests should never have to pay for live entertainment.

    Have you offended anyone?
    Only intentionally! Nah - In general I try and make the caricatures flattering. I don’t wish to upset anyone. However, every now and again, I can’t resist making it a more extreme exaggeration.

    Do you need to provide anything?
    No nothing at all, I’m self contained. The only thing you do need to consider is the lighting in your venue, as having adequate lighting makes a big difference. The most important thing is some fun-loving subjects.

    Are you chatty?
    I love noting more better than a good banter with your guests and using my drawing skills for laughter and fun.

    What geographical area do you cover?
    Anywhere in the South East and beyond. I have pens and will travel.

    How do you create them?
    My style uses a brush marker pen for drawing  and I use bold marker pens for the tone and shading.

    Are you up for new challenges?
    Absolutely. I recently caricatured at a Hen Party - on the top floor of a moving double decker bus that they hired! Needless to say that it was problematic but very entertaining.
