What are they?
The Big Guy will draw each of your attendees as they might look as a "TOON" in the funny papers or on TV. Each caricature is personalized and flattering including the guest's name, hobby, job, favorite food, etc. Usually around 10-12 caricatures per hour.
 
It's also group entertainment!
When the Big Guy draws, people stop and watch. With the optional sound system the Big Guy can provide background music to fit the occasion and his banter is broadcast over the sound system to everyone's amusement.
 
The Cost:
$150 for the first hour includes background music and wireless headworn microphone.
Add $100 for each additional hour.
 
Create the event that fits your needs with these options:
Add a flat fee of $50 for a colorful backdrop and lights.
Frames: Assorted sizes and styles from $4 to $15 are available.
Mailers: $5 covers the postage and you don't have to carry it home!
Add a second caricature artist for $100 per hour (2 hour minimum.)
Add a face painter: a flat $50 plus $10 per additional hour.
 
On a Budget:
Just The BIG Guy and his banner- $100 per hour.
