Choose a town or city to see suppliers who work there.
A live caricaturist in Gloucester, England, United Kingdom draws cartoon-style sketches of guests during cocktail hour or the reception, finishing each one in 3-5 minutes. Most artists work through 10-15 faces per hour for black-and-white sketches, slightly fewer for full colour or group drawings, which makes throughput planning straightforward for events of any size.
A small table, two armless chairs and around 5x8ft of space is enough for a single artist. They bring their own paper, pencils and easel, and can email digital files to guests after the event if you book a tablet-based caricaturist instead of a traditional one. For longer receptions or larger guest lists, booking two artists side by side keeps the queue moving and avoids the disappointment of guests missing out.
Rates for caricaturists in Gloucester range from £60 to £450+ per hour, with most artists requiring a two- or three-hour minimum. The average booking price is £250. Faster artists, full-colour work, digital tablet sketches and personalised event branding sit at the higher end of the range, while shorter bookings or off-peak dates can land lower.
The average price for Caricaturists available in Gloucester, England, United Kingdom is £250 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Yesterday I got fed both spiritually and materially at Soweto’s Just Badela eatery when I attended a heart-warming joint jazz presentation by Just Badela & ‘EXPRESSIONS by Siphiwe Mhlambi’ – the latter is an event series that capture the soul of jazz through Mhlambi’s evocative photography that blends rhythm and emotion into his every frame. I can right now without any whiff of doubt declare that the event lived up to its brand promise of delivering “an unforgettable afternoon with the legendary Herbie Tsoaeli, the master of double bass and a pioneer in South African jazz” to a full-house sit-down audience. (Indeed I) experience(d) the soul-stirring melodies and rich rhythms that have captured audiences around the world.” Nico Phooko was drawing inspiration from the music and the soul-caressing ambience by live painting a piece that will become a new addition to his “Notes & Strokes” series. The MC was Ngwako Malakalaka from Kofifi FM. We had the opportunity to witness Mhlambi autographing copies of our recently published book, “Rhythms in Black & White: A Virtual Journey Through the World of Jazz”, to happy revellers. Another illustrious author/publisher, Sam Mathe, manned a table selling his book too, “From Kippie to Kippies And Beyond”, on whose pages live our musicians. We do appreciate the platform that Just Badela provides to independent publishing and art .

Statement of intent:
Notes ‘n Strokes-The art of making music and the music of making art. 2014
I have since 1997 after graduating from the Johannesburg Art Foundation, been engaged in a variety of visual art related projects in and around Gauteng.
My research/ theme were to study and paint music more especially the music of The Sangomas (South African Traditional Healers).Paint the music they play when they set off to Twasa ( get their formal training) and the music they engage in on their return from their practices. To continuously paint it on occasional days of their festivities and ceremonies when they seek guidance from the greater spirits through an array of feasts. I then produced enormous amount of artworks based on this phenomenon and as time progressed I graduated into getting involved with live music bands other than that of The Sangomas. I began painting the music of a variety of bands and upon meeting a duo’ BlkSonshine’, started travelling and painting their acoustic nu folk music live on stages throughout Gauteng and other neighbouring towns.
A musician myself, (a vocalist and percussionist), I have from time to time been able to compose, perform and if not doing so, paint the music I feel inside and that witch I gather from sources other mine self. ‘Jazz, World Music, Trance, Experimental and Afro Jazz.’ I spent endless time in my studio working at the art of making music and the music of making art.
The concept has developed into me being invited to paint live documenting proceedings of prestigious arty functions, corporate events and performances.
My chapter will explore the possibilities of music as one of the most powerful subject matter for developing very interesting and influential work of art
I am involved with visual artists, poets, musicians, writers and dancers from various creative backgrounds as sources of inspiration for my work..

"Yesterday's gig at Just Badela in Orlando West, Soweto, was a truly memorable experience. We enjoyed a soul-soothing live performance by the legendary Herbie Tsoaeli and his exceptional all-star band, featuring Ayanda Sikade on drums, Yonela Mnana on piano, Sbusiso Mkhize on trumpet, and Muhammad Dawjee on saxophone. Their synergy created an atmosphere that resonated deeply with everyone present.
The event also highlighted Nico Phooko’s creative spirit. Inspired by the music and the warm ambiance, he crafted a beautiful live painting for his “Notes & Strokes” series. This gathering was more than just a concert; it was a shared experience many attendees will cherish for a long time.
I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who came out and supported the event, particularly those who purchased a copy of my coffee table book, “RHYTHMS IN BLACK & WHITE - A VISUAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD OF JAZZ,” published by Brandhill Africa. Your presence made the evening truly special, and I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you.
A special thank you goes to visionary Dumile Badela from Just Badela for this incredible collaboration. 🤝"
Caricatures by kathy
"Kathy has an amazing skill and helped to share that with our school today where we had 1,000 students join us for a spring carnival. We were so please Kathy was able to help draw caricatures of the students as she is not only super talented but some of our students stated they've never had the opportunity previously to have a caricature drawn of them. I thought, how cool is that not only that we're able to provide a student an entirely new experience but to also have someone with her talent and expertise be the person to do this for us! She was wonderful! Showed up on time prepared to spend a full day drawing caricatures for our students and did so with a smile on her face. Thank you Kathy for all of your help. We greatly appreciate you coming out to our school.❤️"
Chris Pavlick The Caricaturist
"Great service
Chris obviously is very passionate about his work, you can tell this by his concentration when he is drawing. Lots of people lined up and I think he was busy non-stop over our event. Very polite and great communication. Thank you Chris!!"
