What you're booking
The bit that sticks is the moment they see it.
Anyone can put entertainment in a room. What people remember is the second the paper turns round — the laugh, the double take, the photo they take of it. Thirty years of practice is what makes that reaction reliable.

Why Nick
Booked for the drawing. Rebooked for the ease.
Event organisers have enough to manage. Nick arrives early, brings everything he needs, and works the room without being steered.
Drawn by hand, every time
Pencil and paper, no tablet and no printer. Each guest gets an original A3 piece — the thing they keep is the thing they watched being made.
Nine to eleven an hour
Three decades of practice means a real likeness in about four minutes. Long queues don't build up and nobody gets left out.
Used to a room
Awards dinners, weddings, trading floors and backstage at Wembley. Nick reads the room, works it, and doesn't need managing.
How it runs
Four steps, and only the first one needs you.
01
Tell Nick the date
Send the date, venue and rough guest numbers. You'll hear back within 24 hours with availability and a price.
02
Confirm and forget it
Nick confirms in writing and handles his own travel and materials. Nothing else needed from you until the day.
03
Nick works the room
He arrives early, sets up in minutes and draws standing or seated — nine to eleven guests an hour, no stage, no fuss.
04
Guests leave holding it
Every caricature is hand-drawn on A3 paper and goes home with the guest that evening. Nothing to print, post or chase.
In their words
What sitters say.
“The caricature Nick drew of me was absolutely perfect. He captured everything — the personality, the humour, the likeness. He is an absolute gentleman.”
“I've been drawn by many artists over the years, but Nick's work stands apart. There's a real humanity in his line work that's rare to find.”
“The caricature Nick created for me is incredible — he captured everything perfectly. Hand-delivered backstage at Wembley. Totally exceeded my expectations.”
Before you ask
The questions that come up most.
How far in advance should I book?
Nick is in high demand, especially for summer and the festive season. Four to eight weeks is comfortable, though last-minute enquiries are always worth making — dates do come free.
How many caricatures can Nick draw in an hour?
Nine to eleven at a live event. The exact number moves a little depending on how detailed the drawings are and how the event is running.
What does it cost?
Live events are priced on hours, location and guest numbers; commissions are priced per piece depending on complexity and the number of people in it. Send your details and you'll have a firm price within 24 hours — no obligation.
Does Nick travel outside London?
Yes. Nick is based in London and works throughout the UK and internationally — he has drawn across Europe, the USA and beyond. Travel and accommodation for distant events are agreed up front as part of the quote.
What does Nick need on the day?
Very little. A small amount of floor space and reasonable light. He brings his own board, paper and materials, and can draw standing in a crowd or seated at a table.
Can I commission a piece without booking an event?
Yes — studio commissions are worked up from photographs you supply, from a single portrait to a complex group scene. They make particularly good retirement, wedding and milestone-birthday gifts.
Enquiries
Tell Nick the date. You'll have a price within 24 hours.
Availability goes first for summer weekends and December. If your date is close, call — it's the fastest way to find out where things stand.
