Sam Allen - Caricaturist

Hi I'm Sam & I'm a caricaturist with a 100% positive feedback score! I've drawn live at well over 300 events - having sketched at (deep breath!) Corporate events, award evenings, Christmas parties, outdoor gatherings, college proms, birthday celebrations young & old, icebreaker events, bar mitzvahs, restaurant openings & intimate dinner gatherings.

Here's why I'll be great for you: a) I'm used to sketching people & making them look as glamorous or as silly as you like. Either way my pictures look like who I'm drawing. b) I'll make your friends, family & colleagues laugh - guaranteed! I'm lightning fast too so I should get round to sketching a fair few of your guests. c) I'm an easygoing presence & I get on with all ages. I love a bit of rapport so no awkward silences with me.

You won't need to provide a thing for me - I come suited, booted & good to go. Should you wish, I'll draw all of your guests on bespoke headed paper to commemorate the day as a souvenir. This will cost you nothing extra. Wedding couples - I'll draw you both for free on a large card that can be signed by your wedding guests on the day. I've attached some examples of my work below to give you an idea.

As stated above, I get on with everybody and that extends to clients who come from all backgrounds. I'm happy to mingle and sketch whilst chatting. Equally I'm happy sitting in a designated spot and caricaturing whilst sitting. I'll always go with the flow. I've caricatured at intimate dinner parties where the host asked me to task his guests with sketching their fellow guests then asking me to judge. I've also caricatured at large formal corporate events including Google & the BBC and by contrast, some rowdy Christmas parties. I've drawn at several schools both primary and secondary, I've drawn the Scots Guards in London & the British Army on several occasions, sketched at Brighton Pride, many hen-do's, open days and at various country fayres. And my feedback has been 100% positive from all of them.
