Joe adds novelty, fun and fascinating entertainment to your event with drawing after drawing of your guests (cartoon keepsakes), each in his personal scenario. And it's all done flatteringly, with speed, creativity and good-natured humor.

Anyone and everyone can be drawn, from days and weeks old to many, many years of age. This is generally determined by you, your budget and the amount of time your party allows.

Depending on the speed needed, in color or black-and-white and in full-body (usually based on one's theme) or heads-only mode. In crowds of both adults and kids the body-or-head decision can be left to the subjects with equal satisfaction.

These numbers can never be guaranteed due to uncontrollable factors, but use them as a rough guide:

Color, full bodies...10 an hour Heads only...15 an hour

B&W, full bodies...13 an hour Heads only...20 an hour

Additional artists can be supplied, if needed, for your event.

The linework is drawn in marker on heavy 110-lb. paper. Fadeless, rubbed-in chalk is used when adding color.

11" x 14 is the usual size, but others may be available on request. Plastic bags are supplied for protection.
