- Customization: Easily include logos, backgrounds, and more.
- Instant Sharing: Guests receive their caricatures instantly via Airdrop, email, or social media.
- Speed: Digital lack & white caricatures are faster, taking 3-4 minutes. Adding colour takes an additional 3-4 minutes, totalling about 8 minutes per person.
- Technology: Drawn on an iPad Pro, delivered via Airdrop or email.
- Printing: Instant prints available for an extra cost, also add1 minute more per person.
- Big Screen Display: Connect your large TV at no cost, or rent my 32″ TV (extra cost).
Traditional Hand-Drawn Caricatures:
- Speed: Faster. Black & white takes 3-4 minutes; adding colour takes 1 more minute.
- Classic & Timeless: Offers a nostalgic, personal touch.
- Tactile Experience: Guests enjoy watching the organic process, with my easel always facing them.
- No Tech Required: Ideal for intimate or traditional events.
- Customization: Pre-printed banners with logos are available at an extra cost.
Budget Considerations: Digital caricatures generally cost at least $100 more for a 3-hour booking as compare to hand-drawn caricatures. It is due to cost of equipment and printing involved.
Compared to hand-drawn caricatures, a live digital performance requires the artist to arrive at the venue approximately one hour early. This additional time is necessary to set up and test all equipment, including connections, the LCD display, and the printer, ensuring everything is functioning properly before the performance begins.
Both options add a unique touch to your event. Choose the one that fits your budget, theme and guests’ preferences for an unforgettable experience.
