About
Rodolfo's Caricatures is a caricaturist for hire in Labrador, QLD.
Rodolfo has drawn live caricatures on the Gold Coast for more than twenty years. Each one takes about four minutes, black and white on A3, which works out to around fifteen guests an hour. The likeness is real and the results are funny, and half the entertainment is watching the drawing come together. Guests take them home afterwards, which is the part that outlasts the night. All materials are provided. He needs three chairs, a corner and reasonable light. Public liability and a Blue Card are held.
Watch
The show
Rodolfo draws your guests live, one after another, about four minutes each. Roughly 15 people an hour, black and white, on A3 sheets. The likeness is genuinely there and the drawings are funny, which is a harder combination to pull off than it sounds. Half the entertainment isn't even the finished picture. It's the small crowd that gathers behind the chair watching a face appear on blank paper. Guests take their caricature home, so there's something left over from the night once the music has stopped.
On the day
Three chairs and a corner with decent light on it. Rodolfo works better tucked into a corner than out in the middle of the floor, because it gives the queue somewhere to stand. Lighting is the one thing worth checking: he's drawing fine detail by hand, and a dim back wall makes that unnecessarily hard.
Performance options
Bookings run by the hour, commonly two, three or four hours depending on how many guests you've got and how long you want the drawing going. Every material Rodolfo needs, paper, pens, board, comes with him, so nothing gets added to your list.
