Dave Hargrove Caricaturist from Highland Mills, NY

Capturing faces and providing live entertainment with magic marker for the last 7 years. In 2011 I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a BFA in Illustration. I started drawing live caricatures in 2013 on the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore. In between summers I traveled up and down the east coast from Key West to Niagara Falls drawing at State Fairs and local festivals. In 2016 I moved on to California working at the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. Located close to Silicon Valley I frequently drew at corporate events for tech companies like Apple and Google. Eventually I moved down to Los Angeles to learn airbrush caricatures at Universal Studios Hollywood. I currently live in New York City and travel globally for Comic Con Expos, most recently Aukland, New Zealand and Paris, France. I love what I do and have a great time while doing it. Caricatures are not only fun but a great memory and keep sake for those being drawn. Caricatures are also entertaining for those timid few who would rather watch from behind. The ability to capture a likeness with a few quick flicks of the wrist can be captivating for an audience who frequently announce "I cant even draw a stick figure!"
