Caricatures by Kathy Caricaturist from Daphne, AL

Imagine this: You’re at an event. There’s a crowd gathered around a live caricature artist’s easel, laughing, pointing at drawings and showing them to each other. Part of you wants one. Part of you is nervous. So you stand there for a minute and watch. The people ahead of you are having a blast, and the drawings are actually flattering—cute, recognizable and not mean. So finally, you get in line. When it’s your turn, you sit down a little awkwardly, not quite sure what to do. The artist smiles, reaches out her hand and says, “Hi, I’m Kathy. What’s your name? It’s nice to meet you.” Suddenly, it doesn’t feel so intimidating. She tells you, “Just look right at me. You can talk, laugh, sip your drink—just have fun.” You relax. While she draws, she chats with you like an old friend. A couple of minutes later, she asks, “Okay…are you ready to see it?” “Wait—already?” Then she turns the drawing around. Somehow, in just a few minutes, she has turned a blank piece of paper into something that looks just like YOU. You laugh. “Okay…I LOVE this!” And suddenly, you’re carrying your caricature around the room, showing it to everyone you know—and maybe even a few people you don’t. That’s the difference between receiving a drawing and having an experience. FLATTERING Your guests don’t have to worry about being embarrassed by a mean caricature. Kathy’s style is flattering, fun and recognizable. They will look like the best version of themselves—not the punchline of a joke. If someone asks for more exaggeration, she is happy to play along, but being mean is never the default. FAST Kathy can draw approximately 20–30 guests per hour while still giving each person a warm, personal experience. She could draw even faster, but your guests deserve to feel like people—not numbers being rushed through an assembly line.

Simply show Kathy where to set up, and she’ll take it from there. She brings her portable easel and professional supplies. All she needs from you is three chairs in a visible location. Dry color means no paints, water cups or messy materials. FUN Your guests are entertained long before they sit in the chair. They gather around the easel, watch the drawings appear, laugh together and cheer each other on. Afterward, they compare caricatures and carry them around the room, turning your event into a miniature art gallery. DRAWING OPTIONS Your experience can be customized to fit your event. Black-and-white caricatures allow the most guests to participate, while color, cartoon bodies and themed drawings are also available. Custom paper featuring your event details, company logo or sponsor information can be arranged. Digital caricatures, pet caricatures and virtual drawing experiences are also available. Based on the Alabama Gulf Coast, Kathy regularly travels throughout Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana—especially New Orleans and Baton Rouge—and nationwide for larger events. Most importantly, Kathy honestly cares about you and your guests. That’s what has kept her doing this for 27 years. She loves people, and she loves bringing them joy. Nervous guests are welcomed, reassured and treated like old friends. Every person who sits in her chair is given the chance to feel seen. If you’re simply looking for the fastest drawing at the cheapest price, Kathy may not be the artist for you. But if you want your guests to enjoy the bucket-list experience of being drawn by a real live artist and leave with a memory they will talk about long after your event is over, you’ve found her. Because your guests deserve more than a drawing. They deserve an experience. Kathy’s calendar fills quickly, so check availability before your date is gone.
