What we need to know to book an artist:

• Date and time of your event?
• Location - inside or outdoors?
• Number of guests?
• What types of entertainment are you looking for, live caricature entertainment, commissioned caricature gifts, studio caricature illustration, illustration for advertising, publications or websites?
• What is your budget?
• Do you need additional entertainment like face painting, henna, tattoos or inflatables? We have contacts with some additional entertainment and some wonderful companies we can refer you to.

Now you’re ready to contact Paul Smith at The Caricature Agency to book your event.

The Caricature Agency represents professional artists. The artists will arrive 15 minutes prior to your event to set up. The average drawing time for each model is approximately 4-6 minutes. Typically an artist will draw one or two models on a sheet. Some will draw more so if you would like additional models at a sitting, please ask the artist at that time.

You will need to provide a chair for each artist possibly a table, good lighting and proper shelter for outdoor events. If necessary, you may need to provide access to electrical outlets for additional lighting.

Call the Caricature Agency in the planning stages of your event or gift. Provide enough time ahead of your event to book your artists, the sooner the better. Spring summer and fall, the holidays and weekends are very popular times and they can book up fast. Allow a minimum of two to three weeks prior to your event to book an artist. We will make every effort to accommodate your needs.

Caricature drawing is fun for everyone. Allow room for traffic behind the artist so guests can watch as they work.

Contact Paul Smith at The Caricature Agency. After we book your event the artist will contact you directly to confirm event details and provide you with their contact information.

The Caricature Agency represents the best artists in the business. Many of our artists belong to the Nation Caricature Network (NCN).

These artists will also provide custom illustration for printed or website applications.

We also work with many local and national entertainment companies who provide other types of entertainment such as inflatables, Face Painting, Henna, custom sculptured caricature figures and more.
