During my 20 years of drawing at various events in Sydney, I have received hundreds of testimonials from clients. Unfortunately, it is not possible to publish all of them here, so here are some!
I’ve divided the testimonials based on 4 types of events: Live Caricatures at High-End Functions, Tradeshows & Conferences, Weddings and Studio-Drawn Photo Caricatures.
