Fantastic experience. Charlie did caricatures for our wedding. his drawings were hilariously accurate and he got on very well with our guests. would recommend him for anyone who wants their guests to take some extra magic away from the wedding day. Excellent value for money.

Charlie was one of two caricaturists who supported our company party recently where close on 200 people were in attendance. He built immediate rapport with sitters and put them very much at ease. His drawings were fun and everyone was delighted with the results of their sketch. Dealing with Charlie was professional at all times and he responded quickly to emails. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

A treasured colleague retired and we commissioned a caricature of all of us from Charlie. The process was easy, as Charlie was able to produce the pictures from photographs, and he was also responsive to changes in needs. Various "drafts" were sent to me for review and comment to ensure we were happy with the image. The final product is excellent quality and has been commented on by many people. Thank you Charlie for this professional and timely service. I will definitely be recommending you if I have anybody who needs a caricaturist!

I commissioned a caricature as a retirement gift. Charlie was in regular contact from the outset, suggesting ideas and making amendments along the way. The photos I gave him to work from weren't the best quality, so it's a tribute to Charlie's skill that the finished version turned out to be excellent! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of getting a caricature done.
