For personalized gifts like wooden standees or framed art, I work from your photos—just send me a clear shot, and I’ll handle the rest, from the caricature style to the final lamination. ### Live Event Entertainment When I draw live at weddings, corporate conferences, or birthday parties, the goal is simple: create an instant icebreaker. I set up my easel in a high-traffic area, and in just a few minutes, I capture a guest’s likeness with a playful, exaggerated twist. It works everywhere from busy corporate mixers in Pune and Mumbai to intimate Haldi ceremonies. I bring all my own materials—pens, paper, and a board—so all you need to provide is a small space with enough light for me to work. ### Custom Caricature Gifts Beyond live events, I create one-of-a-kind art from your photos. These aren't generic prints; they are hand-painted or digitally drawn pieces that can be turned into functional art. * **Wooden Standees:** My signature caricature cut-outs are laminated and mounted on a solid wooden base. They make excellent farewell gifts or desk trophies. * **Framed Portraits:** I offer digital or hand-drawn caricatures printed on high-quality 250+ GSM matte paper with glass protection, ready to hang. * **Wooden Keychains:** I hand-paint unique, quirky designs on wood to create personalized keychain holders, which are a fan favorite for anniversaries and birthdays. ### How to Get Started If you want a live artist, let me know the date, location, and the expected guest count so I can check my availability. For custom gifts, send me a clear photo of the person or pet you want drawn. I handle the design, print, and shipping to your doorstep, anywhere in India. ## About Philip Mathew Hi, I’m Philip.
