Live Digital Caricatures is the next level in Caricature Entertainment. With Al Rodriguez's 25 years of experience in drawing caricatures at parties and special events, he now offers an exciting new product which will wow your guests and clients at your next party, corporate event, campus function or trade show (just to name a few).

"What is Live Digital Caricatures and how does it compare to traditional caricatures drawn on paper?" you ask. It's the ability to draw the caricature directly into the computer with a tablet (1), in this case the Wacom Cintiq 12wx which has the monitor built into the tablet allowing the artist to draw and see what he's drawing as if he was working on paper. This alone will amaze your guest as they'll crowd around to get a better look at this new technology. Most will claim never seeing anything like this before!

Having the caricatures drawn directly into the computer now allows for all sorts of advantges over traditional paper caricatures, first being that the drawing unfolds on a larger flat screen LCD monitor (2) that can be set up higher on a tall table top, for instance, allowing the drawing of the caricatures to be seen from across the room. No more having to crowd around the artist to see what he's drawing.

The caricature will also be in full color, or B&W with shading and a splash of color if you want more people drawn in limited amount of time. (10 per hr full color / 15 per hr splash of color).
Traditional caricatures are only in B&W with shading.

Each caricature will be printed on a very quick and high quality, color photo printer in a convenient glossy 4x6 size (3). Making it way easier to carry around with them for the rest of the event, allowing them to show off their caricature to all of your other guests.

The caricature can also be printed with your company logo, slogan and/or text with the name and date of the event.
This also would be in full color.

Got a theme you want to have featured in your caricatures? We can design custom backgrounds that your guests or clients can be drawn into. For example, if your company is selling boats, we can have a pre-drawn body driving a boat with your company logo on it and once we draw your client's head, we just place it on the body driving the boat!

The possibilities are endless!

But wait! There's more!!

Your guest will also be able to get a digital JPEG file of their caricature, as well as their friends', that they can download off the internet after the event. In some cases we may be able to transfer them to your guest during the event. With all of today's social networking, like Facebook, MySpace & Twitter your guests will be able to quickly download their digital caricatures either directly to their computers or smart phones (4) and use them as avatars. They can download their friend's caricatures to use as ID images on their devices. This just extends the fun of having Live Digital Caricatures at your next party or special event!

The JPG files requires no extra work on your part. Each caricature will be printed with a website address in small text, where they'll be able to dowload their caricature from. But if you prefer, we'll burn a CD with all the caricatures on it at the end of the event and give it to you instead.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about Live Digital Caricatures or Traditional Caricatures. Either way you go, it'll prove to be a great addition to any party!
