- My pricing starts from $225 per hour with a minimum booking of 3 hours. For Sydney CBD events, we are happy to accept a 2-hour booking. I am also open to price matching with competitors offering a similar quality of work.
- The actual quote for your event would depend on factors such as the location, duration, and start time. Without these details, I’m unable to provide an accurate quote.
- For events with 70+ guests, my Double Entertainment Package—featuring two professional artists—offers exceptional value. This package is highly discounted while ensuring maximum guest coverage and engagement.
- If you visit the Rocks Markets, Comic-Con events, or the Bastille Festival Sydney at Circular Quay, you’ll see that the street price for a live, full-colour caricature is around $80 for a single person and $140 for a couple—and that’s often from less experienced, non-award-winning artists. When you book me to draw live caricatures at your event, my rates are just a fraction of those prices.
