Rates for Caricatures at Parties
There’s no better way to add extra fun to a party or other special event than to have an artist doing live caricatures of your guests. Whether a birthday, Christmas or retirement party, company picnic, family reunion, or other special event, the artist will work with you to plan her caricature services to fit your needs. The cost of booking an event is based on the artist’s hourly rate. Artist will discuss different caricature options with client based on the number of guests expected. Party caricature options include black-and-white or color work, front views or profile views, face-only or with body, and pre-designed theme or logo sheets.
Artist charges an hourly rate of $150 with a 2-hour minimum, or $175 for 1-hour only. An additional travel fee may apply, depending on the distance of the event. Artist is also available for fund-raising events such as school fun fairs and can discuss payment options suitable for this type of event. Output is subject to continuous flow of seated guests to draw. Artist can also arrange for additional caricaturists at the event.
The number of guests I can draw per hour depends on the type of caricature desired. Please refer to the list below for approximate drawings per hour.
Black and White, Head Only : 8-15 individuals per hour
Color, Head Only: 6-12 individuals per hour
Black and White, Full Body: 5-10 individuals per hour
Color, Full Body: 3-8 individuals per hour
I can also create a unique Theme Sheet prior to your event. Using a photocopied body and gag (humorous activity and props) that relates to the theme of the party, the individual guest’s face is then drawn onto the body on the pre-copied theme sheet. This is especially fun for children’s birthday party.
For example, every child could have their caricature dressed for a safari with wild animals for a jungle theme, or every little girl could be a ballerina or princess.
Logo sheets can also be used in a similar way to commemorate corporate parties or other special events. A company’s logo, slogan or other related “visual” can be used at the bottom of each paper, and the individual’s face-only drawn onto the logo sheet at the party.
