The non-stop energy of a live caricature marathon!
Had an absolute blast celebrating Jesse’s 40th milestone birthday yesterday. From solo portraits to full families, matching the unique vibes of all these amazing guests in under 5 minutes is the ultimate rush.
The best part of the job? Turning around the board and seeing these exact smiles. Clean lines, big laughs, and a custom party favor they actually get to keep forever. 🥂
A huge thank you to everyone who sat at my table—you all brought the best energy! Which transition reveal was your favorite?

Celebrating Bonnie’s 75th birthday yesterday! 🎂 It was such a pleasure capturing all these wonderful smiles at her milestone celebration. There’s nothing quite like the reaction when someone sees their caricature for the first time.
Happy Birthday, Bonnie!

Just finished this custom A3 piece for Alan. We went with a fun “Sibling Trio” theme—capturing the unique dynamic of the oldest, middle, and youngest child. It’s always a pleasure to handle the full process, from the digital sketch to high-quality printing and framing, making it ready to hang immediately.
Thank you, Alan, for the support and for letting me bring this idea to life!

Celebrating a decade of Diplomat NZ! I Had an absolute blast drawing live caricatures for the Diplomat NZ 10-year anniversary on March 12th. The energy was high, the drinks were flowing, and the faces were legendary.
There’s nothing quite like the “reveal” moment—swipe to see some of my favorite smiles from the night! Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! EventEntertainment LiveDrawing NZArtist ProcreateArtist

Thank you to everyone who came along to ! 🎨
It was my first public event of the year, and my setup was pretty simple.

I had such a great time drawing and engaging with the local community. Thanks for the support!
