Over the years Michael has drawn at all different types of events from Corporate functions to Weddings! Michael's ability to work both traditionally and digitally has attracted some big name companies including Audi, Mercedes Benz, John Lewis, Microsoft, Porsche, Deliveroo, Sky and many more.

The caricatures can then be used as place cards and which your guests can take away as wedding favours at your wedding. Michael offers bespoke caricature invitations, save the date cards, greeting cards, seating plans, guest books, life-size cutouts and more.

You can also commission Michael to create personalised caricature for you, your family and friends. You can even get one for your pet.

Michael was amazing, we are so glad that he was part of our wedding day. Unfortunately he was slightly delayed due to train issues which were not his fault however, he informed us that he was going to be a little late which wasn't a problem but we really appreciated his communication. We had so many comments from our guests saying how friendly he was and what a good job he had done with their caricatures! He even stayed late to fit in the last few people. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future!

Michael really helped make it a very memorable day indeed. He was part of a wedding proposal, and he played his part superbly. The art and style of Michael's artwork was just perfect, and is now just waiting a perfect frame to match his art work, before we place it pride of place above the fireplace. Could not recommend Michael more highly, and was so impressed, we're trying to work out how we can fly him to Brussels for the wedding! Dream day - thank you.

Oh my, what can l say... Michael was an absolute star, his talent as a caricaturist is second to none. He arrived on time with a smile on his face and once settled to do the sketching he made the guests feel comfortable chatting to them so he had an idea of what to put in the sketch. All my guests were delighted with them and all asked where l had found him. He gave more time than booked for because there were a couple of guests still needing to be sketched, Michael was more than happy to extend his time to do them. As a said earlier... A Star!! As a company Warble are excellent, the booking was easy to do and any queries l had were met with quick professional replies whilst maintaining a friendly approach. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience l received from your company and from Michael. I would not hesitate to recommend you at all and Roger (the birthday boy) LOVED it. Thank you once again, best wishes, Michele

    FAQs

    Live Caricatures

    How many people can you draw per hour?
    Michael draws, on average, 14 people per hour when drawing on paper. Michael can even add your logo to the drawing paper to make the drawing the perfecting marketing hook at trade shows, promotions and conference.

    If we want you to stay longer, can we extend the booking on the day?
    The simple answer is Yes but this will depend on availability 

    Can you draw my family/friends from photos during the event?
    It's not ideal to spend the booking time drawing people from photos while other guests at the event are waiting. Exceptions will only be made for the host, bride and groom, birthday girl or boy. The other situation is if the artist has drawn everyone at event before their booking time has finished.

    Can I just collect photos of my guests and upload them all myself?
