April 2014

You may not know it, but opportunities to plan a party are sneaking up on you. Now that it’s getting a little warmer, are you thinking about planning ahead for a summer party? Well, it’s a good idea. If you aren’t, you should be. And if you are, you’re going to need entertainment! Caricature artists or clowns are great entertainers for any age group. They’ll keep your guests smiling and laughing. Balloon sculptors can make you that balloon friend you’ve always wanted. Stilt walkers are excellent outdoor entertainers. In fact, we would not recommend having a stilt walker indoors if you have any low ceilings.

Describe the type of entertainment you provide. I entertain people of all ages with live caricature and portrait drawings.

 

When and how did you get into this business? My professional start was in 2005, moonlighting at Busch Gardens, Tampa, while teaching computer graphics software at a local college. That’s the year I discovered that markers and crayons are more fun than computers, and I became a kid again!

 

What is the most memorable event at which you have worked? My most memorable event was this last New Year’s Eve. It was a big party in Scottsdale. After drawing almost everybody there, they asked me to stay and ring in the New Year with them, so I did. I’ve discovered that people bond with you when you draw them with some soul!

 

What’s something that you’d like everyone to know about you? I’d like people to know that when I’m drawing live, I get a “perma-grin” going that I just can’t hide. It must be contagious–I’m able to get the guests to laugh without having to tell corny jokes in order to capture their smiles on paper!
