Caricatures & Caricature artists at events & what Goofy Faces has been up to lately.

Weddings, weddings, weddings and caricatures!

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, July 26, 2011


It seems that we have been hired to draw at a lot more wedding receptions this year than at any time in the past. It's not that surprising when you think about how fun it is to have an artist or two at the reception drawing friends and family all night. Everyone enjoys watching the artists draw them while many of the guests have a memorable keepsake from the occasion. Unlike many other entertainment novelties, our artists are experienced entertainers in addition to being fantastic artists. So it's a win-win for everyone involved!

Full Color Custom Caricatures for Stars & Stripes Gymnastic Banquet

Robert Bauer - Tuesday, May 31, 2011


Goofy Faces was recently hired to draw full color caricatures at the Stars & Stripes Gymnastic Banquet held at the Fountains Golf & Banquet Center in Clarkston, MI. In order to get all 36 gymnasts finished in under 4 hours, a template was created for the first time that included color. Each body was preprinted with the color already there so only the faces needed to be drawn live and colored. It was a great success and now is another option for customers everywhere!
