Work experience
Freelance Cartoon Caricature Artist
2015-present
I am comissioned regularly by event organisers for summer and holiday events to attend as a guest caricaturist and have built up a reputation through online means and word of mouth. I have attended and served many different offical chairty events, summer cranivals, school fair events and steam Punk gathering events. I use traditional media including promarkers and copic markers to create the caricatures, and I thoroughly enjoy every fair and the experience that comes with it, I will be going to more events in the future.
