LONDON CARICATURIST ADMITS HE HAS A FEW THINGS UP HIS SLEEVE. MOSTLY PENS.
Greetings, I'm Alfie Delish (sh - it's a secret!), aka "Mr Sketchum" (sketchy, moi?). I'm a professional London caricaturist who provides extraordinary entertainment hire with walkabout corporate, wedding and party caricatures.
I create fast and flattering as well as highly amusing cartoon portraits that turn polite mingling into actual conversation - and small talk into surprisingly serious discussions about eyebrows.
The sketches don't just capture people's mannerisms, their energy, and that one expression they swear they don't make (but absolutely do) - they create shared laughter and connection, and make us realise just how wonderfully unique - and a touch ridiculous - we all are.
Get your guests smiling - and suddenly looking slightly more interesting!

A COUPLE MORE THINGS
Now you've seen what happens, here's a little more about how and where I work
It takes about 5-7 minutes to sketch each person. As well as being thrilling for me, creating quick, confident likenesses in the moment makes the whole thing more entertaining for guests to watch, with no-one missing the party while I weigh up alternative interpretations of their mullet.
Depending on what works best for you and your event, I can mix and mingle among your guests, establish a natural focal point by working seated, or quietly do a bit of both without making a production of it - see here for more info.
The sketches are drawn on sturdy 400gsm A5 card - handbag and pocket-friendly - and presented in splash-proof clear folders, ready to survive the occasional overenthusiastic glass of prosecco.
Branding can be added beforehand, giving guests something unmistakably yours - although the faces remain their responsibility.
