Caricature Artist for Events
Live Caricature Entertainment for Events in London & Around
Pub Launch Night @ The Anchor, Bedford - Nov 2023
Add a live art experience to your special event that you and your guests will remember! Your guests will receive their custom, hand-drawn caricature portraits for free to take home as a souvenir.
Defined by strong, clear lines, with a clean, professional look, my drawings embody the emotion and energy of the moment and are very popular at the events I'm invited to.
"Life’s meaning is lost without a spirit of play. In play, all that is lovely and soaring in the human spirit strives to find expression." Eileen Agar

Inspired by London's Multiculturalism
Silu is a British artist of EU origin with a background in architecture and design. More than ten years ago, he discovered the diversity of London, and a few years later, he started doing caricature portraits. Due to the popularity of his work (reviews >), he became a full-time professional caricature artist. Find out more about The Artist. Silu page.
Unlike the classic ones, my caricatures reveal a pleasant appearance, not ugliness and grotesqueness. The constant feedback I receive is: "I'm more beautiful in your drawing than in reality."

Booking Procedure
When you book, please keep in mind that usually, not all the guests want a drawing, so there is no need for everybody to be drawn. Some of your guests will enjoy watching.
A 20% deposit (or the full amount) must be paid to secure the booking at the specified date and the above price. The live caricature event requires full payment in advance, at least 24 hours before the event's start.
* In case you cancel, every payment apart from the deposit will be returned.
* In the event of cancellation by us, the whole amount paid, including the deposit, will be returned.
* If the full payment is not made in advance, under the conditions mentioned above, the live caricature event is considered cancelled - any payment, other than the deposit, will be returned.
