What kind of events are digital caricatures suitable for?
Digital caricatures work well at trade shows, conferences, brand activations, corporate events, drinks receptions, parties, awards nights and hospitality events.
Are the caricatures really drawn live?
Yes. Every caricature is drawn live by hand on iPad during the event.
Nothing is AI-generated.
Can the caricatures be branded?
Yes. Logos, event details and themed backgrounds can be added so the artwork feels fully tied to the event.
Branding can also be carried through onto the email delivery, the printed copies and even the lanyards, so there is plenty of flexibility.
Can guests get printed copies?
Yes. Every caricature is shared digitally as standard, and on-site printing can be added as an optional extra.
Printed copies are 6 x 4 postcard size and presented in a protective sleeve on a lanyard, so guests can wear them around the event.
They work especially well at exhibitions, conferences and corporate events where the takeaway becomes part of the experience.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes. I bring the equipment needed for the agreed setup, so everything is ready to run on the day.
That can include the screen, printer and all the required connections if needed.
Can this work as walkabout entertainment?
Yes. Digital caricatures can work either as a walkabout option or as a static setup with a screen, depending on the event.
Walkabout caricatures are usually a little faster than using a large screen setup.
Printed copies can still be included too.
How much space do you need?
That depends on the setup, but digital caricatures are flexible and can usually be adapted to suit the space available.
Walkabout caricatures do not need a dedicated space, while a static setup usually needs around 1.5m x 1.5m.
How many guests can you draw?
That depends on the event length, the setup and whether printing is included.
As a guide, each caricature takes around five minutes, so roughly 6 to 12 people can be drawn per hour.
I can advise on what is realistic for your event.
Do digital caricatures work for trade shows and exhibitions?
Yes. They are especially effective at exhibition stands because they attract attention, engage visitors and create a memorable branded takeaway.
Are digital caricatures only for corporate events?
No. They are especially popular for corporate events, but they can also work brilliantly for parties, weddings and other live events.
