Caricatures by Greg Dohlen

A caricaturist is an unusual and unforgettable form of entertainment for your party. Not only does a caricaturist provide a great "ICE BREAKER" and conversation piece, but he also provides art that your guests can take home to remember you by. It's a fun way to make your guests or clients feel special. No matter what age group, children and adults enjoy being drawn by an artist and becoming the "CENTER OF ATTENTION!"

For over ten years, I have made people smile with my caricatures and consider myself to be one of the best in the market. I have worked at grand openings, promotions, wedding receptions, bar mitzvahs, corporate picnics, grad nights, proms, fund-raisers and more.

Some recognizable names for which I have provided entertainment to over the years include: Celebrity Cruises, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Columbia Tri-Star Pictures, MTV, VH1, Capitol Records, Discovery Channel, Nickelodeon Television, Seagram’s, Estee Lauder, Baskin Robbins, Petco, TransAmerica, United Parcel Service, Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, game-show host Alex Trebeck, producer Aaron Spelling, actors Woody Harrelson, Jackie Chan and French Stewart, and Mattel Toys - the list goes on. I recently appeared as a caricaturist on the hit T.V. Show Blind Date.

I usually draw front view situational caricatures after asking each subject what he or she likes to do for fun. Then I draw a big head and a little body that captures their personality. 11"x17" 90 lb. card stock white paper is my paper of choice; I can, however, work on smaller 8 1/2"x11" if you prefer. I draw with black ink markers and my speed is approximately 12 - 15 black-and-white caricatures per hour, depending on the level of detail and interaction with the subjects.
