Live Caricature Art for Events and Custom Portraits
I turn guests into cartoon characters live at events or create custom portraits from photos. Quick, expressive, and guaranteed to get a laugh.

It's always fun to add a personal touch. This guest was thrilled with his colorful caricature featuring him on his scooter, a perfect and humorous keepsake from the event.
Watch the process from start to finish. I begin with a reference photo on a phone, sketch the family's likeness, add watercolor details, and finish with the best part: their happy reaction.

Capturing the entire family in one portrait is a special request I love to fulfill. This hand-drawn family caricature brings together parents and their child in a single, joyful illustration.
Yes, I draw pets too. This was a special commissioned piece for a client in Ireland, featuring him with his beloved dog, drawn from a photo he sent me.

About Featured
When I sit down to sketch at an event, I am not just looking for a likeness. I am looking for the one thing—a hobby, a prop, or a quirky expression—that makes the person who they are. Whether it is including a football for a guest at a corporate event or drawing traditional attire for a wedding portrait, that specific detail is what turns a quick sketch into a keepsake they will actually hold onto.
How I Work
I specialize in a playful 'Big Head, Small Body' style using archival ink markers and watercolor shades on textured paper. My goal is to capture your personality, not just your features. If I am sketching you live, I aim to be quick enough that you can get back to the party, but detailed enough that you walk away with something fun.
Where I Can Help
- Live Events: Weddings, birthdays, and corporate functions in Mumbai and across India. I set up a corner and sketch guests on the spot. Everyone gets to take home their own personalized drawing in a protective sleeve.
- Custom Gifts: If you have a photo, I can turn it into a caricature. Whether it is a couple for an anniversary, a family portrait, or a pet sketch, I handle everything from the initial pencil draft for your approval to the final watercolor rendering.
The Logistics
I deliver all my custom work in a protective sleeve with hardboard backing so it does not bend. For framed options, I use standard black synthetic frames with glass or acrylic glazing. If you are booking me for an event, just let me know the guest count so I can ensure I have enough supplies to keep the sketches flowing throughout the party.
