I demonstrated the art of ‘live caricature’ at the Big Draw, Campaign for Drawing event which took place at my caricature exhibition, Edd’s Heads, at the Auld Kirk Museum, October 2010. Many thanks to all those who attended and gave me great feedback about my work!

The great thing about working from an easel is that people at events can peek over my shoulder and watch as a caricature takes place on the spot before their very eyes! Therefore, it’s entertaining for onlookers as well as the person(s) being drawn….and certainly gets the ‘banter’ going!
I’ve been to a fair few events in the past where caricaturists walk around in a crowd (occasionally getting ‘lost’) drawing on small A4 sized clip boards…..hardly anyone at the events knew what it was they were doing, and I’ve witnessed guests thinking the artists were waiters and have called them over for drinks / menus etc! Not exactly entertaining for guests or onlookers in my opinion….!
With my easel, sign and large A3 sized drawing paper paper; there is no doubt to your guests at your event as to what it is I’m there to do….and no chance I’ll get ‘lost in the crowd!’

If you’d like top entertainment at your event then hire me today before someone else does!
