Best Caricature Artist In Hampton Roads For Events

My name is “Will” I’m a professional caricaturist with over 20 years of experience drawing and entertaining guests with my art for all types of live events.  I started drawing at an early age and was encouraged by my family and friends to continue being creative, so I did that. While growing up, I was a fan of MAD magazine and the talented caricature artist who illustrated humorous stories featuring celebrities each month. I started practicing my drawing skills, creating caricatures of my friends and family members, and yes, I was one of those kids who drew my teacher when I should have been paying attention in class. While in school, I was inspired by my art teachers and other talented peers to draw cartoons and caricatures and be a renaissance man and learn to do other creative things. I became a lifelong learner of arts and crafts, which helped develop my skills artistically.

I started drawing caricatures during the early 1980s in bars, restaurants, and craft fairs to earn extra money while working full-time as a staff graphic designer for a printing and publishing company. During those years, I freelanced for many companies creating whimsical artwork and illustrations for children. I became a “Ghost Artist” for companies, meaning that I did not sign my work but got paid and received royalties for licensing what I created. My art has appeared on stickers, bookmarks, balloons, t-shirts, coloring books, children’s clothing, gift wrap, greeting cards, and more.

So, I’ve been creating fun, whimsical art for over 20 years before there was the internet. In 1990 while drawing live caricatures during a wedding, I was asked if I would draw caricatures of several groomsmen on beer mugs with my black markers. I thought it was a crazy idea but did my best to capture their likeness on glass. To my surprise, the mugs were a big hit at the party, and soon afterward, I started getting requests for groomsmen beer mugs for gifts, and as they say, the rest is history!

Today, I’m still hand-painting cartoon caricatures on glassware and drawing caricatures for weddings and live events. I now offer digital artwork for wedding caricatures, groomsmen gifts, business caricatures, caricature birthday cards, retirement caricatures, sports caricatures, and graduation caricatures.
