Kids Party Caricatures in Calgary

Here's a couple kids caricatures I drew in Calgary for a small event. When drawing younger kids, I was trained while working in Disneyland drawing caricatures, to keep them CUTE! Some guys really exaggerate but I find no need to do that to a small child, therefore keeping it a positive experience.....they will have plenty of time in their future to have those that point out what they consider "flaws".....in the meantime.....keep the kids caricatures FUN for them..... :)

Calgary Party/Event Caricatures

I drew caricatures in Calgary a few weeks back for the BMW Christmas event, great event, I think it would be about the 5th year in a row I've been asked to draw caricatures for them. A couple days before that I was asked to draw caricatures for Mercedes.....maybe next year Ferrari ?…..you never know!!....:) :)

Mr. Bean

Throwback Thursday…...Mr. Bean. I drew this cartoon/caricature of Mr. Bean about 10 years ago. I don't think he's changed his looks at all throughout the years....He's always looked kinda old.... :)

Calgary Kid's Party Caricatures

Drawing caricatures in Calgary for kid's Christmas parties. As you can see, as a Calgary Caricature Artist, we have to try to work fast...check out the average line-up we usually have. With kid's I have to draw a bit more than just head and shoulders such as I do with adults, they usually like a quick hobby or sport to go with the caricature. In Canada I've seen that hockey rules for the boys caricatures....:)

Calgary Sketch Artist :)

As a party caricature artist in Calgary I constantly get called " Calgary Sketch Artist".....I guess I'll go with that....:) Just a couple caricatures from yesterday's party in Calgary. I couldn't draw the guest holding the caricature as the line-up was too long and I never had time for a proper pose.... but all good!! :)

When not drawing caricatures for corporate events in Calgary I draw cartoons for clients. This young lady had asked me for a 60's style retro feel to her logo/cartoon. I loved the simplicity of drawing this style of cartoon. Would love to do more! :)

Calgary Wedding Caricatures

Occasionally I get asked to draw caricatures at weddings in Calgary and area such as the beautiful one above. Wedding caricatures are a way to keep your guests busy while the Bride and Groom are taking pictures.....plus they have something to take home with them....:)

Calgary Kids Party Caricatures in Calgary

Just a couple kids party caricatures drawn in Calgary....I get a chance to draw a quick body, gag, etc. unless there are a hundred kids and I'm the only caricature artist, then I just draw head and shoulders to keep the line moving.
