Live Cartoon Artist Experience
How It Works
Step 1 — We Capture the Moment
Our process begins right in the heart of your event, where the energy is highest and guests are at their most relaxed.
We arrive early to set up a compact yet visually striking portrait station with professional DSLR camera equipment, carefully positioned lighting for flattering results, and a high-resolution display screen that immediately catches the eye.
Guests are warmly invited to take part throughout the evening — no rigid schedule, no long queues. We capture solo shots, dynamic duos, and lively group portraits, depending on the vibe of your event. Our team knows how to engage even the most camera-shy guests, ensuring every attendee has the chance to be part of the experience.
The goal isn’t just to take a picture — it’s to create a memorable moment at your awards dinner, exhibition stand, product launch, or networking reception.
By the time we’ve finished Step 1, you’ll have a collection of professionally composed photographs that are the perfect foundation for stunning digital artwork.
Entertainment with a Difference
Step 2 — We Transform the Images
Once the cameras are packed away and the last guest has left, the real artistry begins.
Each photograph from your event is carefully reviewed and selected before entering our digital illustration process.
This is where we take the sharp, professional DSLR shots captured on the night and reimagine them as cinematic works of art.
We don’t use a one-click filter. Every image is hand-crafted using a combination of advanced digital artistry techniques, colour grading, and stylisation to create vibrant, personality-rich portraits.
Facial features are kept flattering and true-to-life, while the styling introduces a bold, distinctive edge that makes every piece stand out.
For corporate events, we can also tailor the look to fit your brand identity — from subtle background details in your corporate colours to incorporating event-specific design elements like product silhouettes, logo placement, or on-theme graphic accents.
The result is more than a souvenir: it’s a bespoke digital artwork that reflects the personality of the subject, the energy of the event, and the visual standards of your brand.
Professional Alternative to Caricature Artists
Step 3 — We Deliver Your Branded Gallery
Within 48 hours, we provide you with a fully branded digital gallery containing every portrait from your event.
This isn’t a basic photo dump — it’s a curated, high-quality collection presented in a way that enhances your brand and makes sharing effortless.
Brand Integration: We can add your company logo, event hashtag, or colour scheme into each portrait, subtly reinforcing your brand identity every time the image is shared.
Easy Guest Access: Your gallery can be shared with attendees via a secure link, allowing them to download their portraits instantly.
Social Media Optimisation: Every file is delivered in both print-quality and social-ready resolutions, making it simple for guests to post their portraits on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and beyond.
Extended Event Impact: As guests share their portraits, your brand continues to circulate online — extending the life of your event and giving you measurable post-event engagement.
In short, Step 3 is where your corporate entertainment investment turns into long-term marketing value.

Totally impressed with Anthony and his unique way to capture a wedding. We had him for our wedding, and it was more than we could have asked for.

Goodness me, I love these images. We had the idea to have a caricature artist, but this goes a step above. Totally Unique.
