Live Event Caricatures by Kamal Kaku
Bring a smile to your guests' faces with quick, on-the-spot sketches. From weddings to corporate galas, I turn your event into a gallery of live art.
This is what it's all about. I start with a blank page, and in just a few minutes, a couple has a fun, framed memory of their day out. Capturing smiles at the Horn OK Please festival in Delhi is always a great experience.
A beautiful poolside Haldi ceremony at the Jaypee Vasant Continental. The guest was thrilled with her portrait, saying it looked just like her. It’s this joy that makes my work the best memento for any wedding event.
The pure joy on a child's face when they see their caricature for the first time is priceless. This moment from the Boho Bazaar Fleamarket shows how my art is a hit with the younger crowd, making it perfect for family events.
It’s not just people I draw. At a special PawFest in Gurgaon, I had the pleasure of creating a caricature for this furry friend named Pixie. Pet owners love getting a unique portrait of their companions.
Your face on a mug. I can create these custom caricature coffee mugs live at your event. It's a unique and practical party favor or corporate gift that people will actually use and remember.
A happy customer at a busy festival. Hearing someone say "The artist is pretty good. Loved it" is the best feedback. It shows that even in a crowded space, I can deliver quality work that people appreciate.
Here you can see my process up close at Dilli Haat. From the first lines to the final details, I work quickly to create a recognizable and fun caricature. Each stroke is backed by over 25 years of practice.
About this collection
I don't just draw; I entertain. I set up my easel right at your venue, and in just 5–7 minutes, I capture a guest's likeness. Whether it’s a crowded sangeet or a relaxed birthday brunch, you get a continuous stream of hand-drawn sketches that your guests take home immediately in protective sleeves. It’s an instant icebreaker that people actually keep.
When I arrive at your venue, I need nothing more than two chairs and decent lighting. I bring my professional easel, permanent markers, and high-quality cardstock. I’ve spent over two decades refining my speed and style. Unlike some artists who heavily distort features, my approach is balanced. I capture the likeness while keeping the expression friendly, ensuring that when a guest looks at their portrait, they say, 'That’s actually me!'
I cover all types of events across Delhi NCR and beyond. For high-volume settings like large wedding receptions or corporate team-building events, I focus on swift, expressive line-art to ensure we can get through 60–75 guests in a 5-hour window. For smaller, intimate birthday parties or brunches, I can add more shading and detail, managing 35–45 sketches per 3-hour session.
Beyond just sketching faces, I also offer custom caricature mugs, a practical and memorable party favor that guests use long after the event. And yes, if you have a pet-friendly event, I draw them too. Whether you're planning a haldi in Vasant Kunj or a corporate gala in Gurgaon, I show up, set up, and start sketching. I travel Pan India, so whether your celebration is in Delhi, Jammu, or Patiala, you can book me directly.
