Hi I’m Andrew of Goti Caricatures.
I’m a Dublin-based, Irish artist specialising in flattering, cute and accurate live caricature drawings as both a form of art entertainment, and take away party favours for your guests that many go on to get framed. I also can predesign more detailed caricatures or guest signing boards and wedding invites.
Please see prices here: https://goticaricatures.com/prices/
I’ve been a wedding industry supplier since 2015 and won a Highly Commended award in September 2024.
My traditional black and white live caricature drawings using marker and pencil take around 5 minutes per person including shading and a guaranteed likeness 🙂
I can also do digital caricatures on an iPad Pro which can be screencast to lager TVs at venues as well as being emailed to guests and also printed physically on my portable device.
3 unique services I offer:
————————————-
1) A guaranteed drawing of the married couple. This is either done live on the day, or if you become too busy, I will draw you from a photo from my home studio where I invite you to see me draw it live from my Facebook or Instagram business pages. This complimentary caricature will then be posted to your home address. I can also turn the recording into a speed video with your fav accompanying music 🙂
2) I can also record the live drawings I do on the day live on social media and then make speed video edits afterwards, again with your fav chosen music included.
It’s good fun to be able to rewatch your cartoon rebirth 🙂
Examples in my Reels below.
3) I bring a 2nd art easel and extra drawing materials to keep kids (and big kids) occupied drawing alongside me in the crafty art corner 🙂
So, let’s get crafty together and add bit of quirky magic to your Big Day with a Goti Caricature.
Cheers,
Your friendly neighbourhood goat 🐐
Andrew

—-------------------------------------
I can also print your name, date, location or logo on every page to act as a further reminder to your guests of your event.
My set up arrangements:
I arrive early to set up my equipment and locate the 3 chairs and small table I’ve requested be provided by the venue, in a well lit location (I bring my own tall ring light source).
Models can sit with their buddy to have a comfortable chat whilst I draw them slightly from a side angle ideally. I start drawing whoever comes to me first, or you can suggest the people you want drawn in particular. Alternatively I can move around to sit with guests at their tables if that suits them better. Anyone interested can write their name down to be next on the list.:

You can print this off and populate it with names of people from your party interested first and foremost.
Of course try arrange 10 minutes free time to get drawn yourselves.
I take photos of every drawing and the guest model holding it
(with their permission)
which I then add to my Instagram and Facebook portfolios so you can look back over them all as a collection when I send you the link to do so.
I can also video record the drawing process.
*NOTE: Please try to forewarn your guests of my presence so I don’t have to waste your paid hire time running around trying to find models to sit for me explaining why I am there.
I am happy to inform and entice guests to build up their courage to jump into the hot seat mind you :)
So live drawing entertainment, and a pre-prepared detailed caricature design from photos for wedding invitations and signing boards, or a framed print could all be covered by me.
Pre-prepared, detailed, digitally or traditionally painted couple caricature with pass time, props and background
