Back in April I was filmed by Channel 4 for their show ‘Coach Trip’ where I helped the contestants draw each other. This was shown last night on UK prime time TV!

Its the latest thing; Digital drawn caricatures! With the flooding of the digital tablet market comes the flood of requests for digital caricatures, on Samsung, on iPad or on Cintiq. Full colour and emailed to your clients, what a great idea! But you’re having a dinner party?? Unless you have a Tech team on hand, think again.
The main draw back with digital is the lack of product at the end, a bit like a long drawn out joke without a punchline. The artist stands in a dark dining room or bar, glaring at a 10″ screen, fiddling with effects and layers, while diners ignore them and after 10 minutes, they are asked for an email address and they don’t see the artwork until the following day, sober. A colleague of mine summed up the experience brilliantly; “I felt like I was taking a survey in the corner, while diners ignored me!”
Digital caricatures are a static medium, in other words they are best at an exhibition stand, plugged into a plasma screen and a printer, to draw punters to your product. As each drawing takes at least 10 minutes, it captivates the passing punters as it unravels on the big screen. The result can be printed out or emailed at your leisure.
Having a party, maybe a wedding reception and decided to hire a caricaturist to entertain guests? Have you spent weeks trawling the internet, contacting artists for examples , prices and references until you decided Spot On George was the best caricaturist for the job? An excellent choice! Why oh why therefore would you keep this a secret or a surprise?
Please, please never keep your entertainment as a surprise for guests, as many will never have met a close up entertainer such as a Magician or Caricaturist and many will turn up, glum faced and ignore the nice gents in suits walking around trying to get their attention. For an entertainer, walking into a cold room full of people who ignore them is soul destroying and it wastes at least the first hour, as I have to explain who I am and what I am doing.
In 23 years of entertaining at functions, the only ones that have failed have been when I was kept secret – at one wedding the Groom even manhandled me towards the door to eject me!!
