Live Caricatures

Your guests sit down, have a chat and a laugh, and watch their caricature come to life in just a few minutes. Drawn live on the iPad or good old-fashioned paper, it's a fun addition to any event.

Keeping it real: drawn by a real artist

Every caricature, whether it's a two-minute sketch at a wedding or a full-colour gift commission, is drawn by me. I'm looking at the actual person, in front of me or in your photos, and drawing their expression, their quirks and the stories behind them. A computer can't fake that.

"I picked up my drawing a couple days ago and I absolutely love it! The attention to detail is amazing. Details taken from photos and added to the drawing really impressed me… I would highly recommend Rian and I will definitely be ordering again."

"Rian is a wonderful artist. He created a very special caricature for me this year. He was very professional, easy to deal with and had no issue applying last minute finishing touches to the picture until everyone was 100% happy!"
