About
Nick is a talented caricature artist who creates quick and lively portraits that capture the essence of both the young and the young at heart.
Based in Northern Ireland, Nick travels from Belfast to Banbridge, Louth to Larne, and everywhere in between—and beyond.
Many people have only experienced live caricature drawing on foreign holidays, at festivals, or other places where good times are had. When you book a caricaturist for your wedding, those same joyful vibes come along too!
Caricature drawing is one of the few forms of entertainment that appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds. Everyone enjoys watching the artist's process as, with just a few seemingly effortless strokes, an uncanny likeness magically emerges. The result is a completely original portrait that sparks both laughter and admiration.
The highlight, of course, is sitting for your very own hand-drawn portrait—a unique opportunity for many to own their first piece of original art! Even those who might initially fear being embarrassed quickly relax when they see that Nick's goal is to make people laugh, feel good, and have a great experience. The fantastic gift they receive will be cherished for years to come.
Why choose live caricature drawing for your wedding?
**A captivating spectacle:** It provokes both laughter and admiration from onlookers.
**A fantastic icebreaker:** It’s a perfect conversation starter right after the ceremony or as evening entertainment that won’t clash with live music or a disco.
**Fun and inclusive:** Adds a quirky element to the day's proceedings that everyone can enjoy.
**Memorable mementos:** Guests will leave your wedding with a unique keepsake that ensures your special day is fondly remembered for years to come.
Live caricature drawing is suitable for guests of all ages and can be booked at any time during the day. The most popular times are during the daytime reception (often covering the post-ceremony photo shoot) or as entertainment after the main meal.
Nick arrives dressed in smart casual clothing (strategically chosen to avoid any ink-related mishaps!). He sets up in a well-lit area of your venue and warmly invites guests to sit for him, engaging in friendly conversation as he draws individuals or couples* in his unique style.
Each caricature is drawn on quality A3 paper using permanent ink, graphite, and oil pastel for a splash of color. These light-hearted likenesses of your guests will serve as warm memories of your event for years to come.
Nick also offers wedding signing boards featuring a caricature of the special couple.
*While it’s possible to include three people in a portrait, it can make Nick's preferred style more challenging and time-consuming. For group portraits, consider commissioning Nick to create one from photographs. More details can be found on his website.
