Description

We can stroll around your event and draw your guests where they are so that nobody misses a second of the party waiting in a line. We like to schedule our services for enough time to draw ALL of your guests if we are able so no one is left out. It takes around a minute per person and we encourage guests to watch us draw the other guests. We bring a large, colorful sign and a table cloth to events when we are seated so guests can find us easily, know what we are there for and know that the sketches are free to them. We are very versatile, easy to work with and strive to provide an excellent exp ... erience for our customers and their guests during every performance. We encourage questions, sharing and interactions to engage with guests. It is a one of a kind presentation that is truly memorable to your guests.
We have several unique options for guests to share their drawings at and after the event so they can enjoy the performance long after the event is over.
We also do black and white digital sketches on an iPad and have several online, virtual and tangible options to share these sketches and present the performance to your guests at the event so everyone can enjoy it, even at their seats.
During covid, we were the first caricature artists to pivot to doing virtual caricatures in the first week of the lockdown. During 2020 Speed Sketchers did over 300 virtual caricature presentations over zoom, topia and several other platforms. This experience has opened up a lot of wonderful opportunities and we welcome international and multi lingual bookings!

1981369 Adam Pate is an extremely talented artist ... What he said he could provide, was provided; and, done in a very professional manner. He was very flexible in our scheduling needs. Attendees provided very positive feedback and enjoyed his caricatures. I would very much recommend Adam for any type of event where you want to add something fun and out of the ordinary for your guests/attendees. His drawings were a fun addition for our event and I would not hesitate to have him back at another event. -Connie G, Galena, IL (gig ID# 1981369) 2138021 Adam Pate was fantastic. We had a company picnic at a baseball game and Adam went above and beyond to make sure that everyone who wanted a drawing got one. I appreciate his willingness to take hi talents to the crowd. Our team members loved the drawings! -Colleen C, Avon, OH (gig ID# 2138021) 1824571 Adam did a great job. I really like his approach to the event, he wanders the crowd and goes to the guests, instead of sitting at a booth and ...having to have guests go to him and wait in line. He was funny and my guests were entertained. If you are looking for something fun and different at your next event, I would recommend Adam Pate. -Erin M, Olmsted Falls, OH (gig ID# 1824571) 1248892 Adam was a pleasure to work with.

Our guests truly enjoyed the caricature experience. We used Adam's caricatures as our thank you favors with our 'couple caricature' printed at the back of our guest's caricatures.

He even sketched my husband and I into a couple of pictures, even though we refused to stay put and kept running to the dance floor!

Virtual Speed Sketchers Presentation

We are by far the most experienced virtual caricaturists on the planet. During the pandemic we did over 300 virtual caricature gigs for guests from all over the world. We draw digitally and use the Presenter presentation on Zoom for a smooth and orderly event, but we are open to break out rooms, other platforms and VR experiences such as Topia, Roblox and Second Life. Hybrid experiences are also a nice way to get the best of both worlds. We can help you set that up. We are available in any time zone and can function comfortably in any language. Drawings can be distributed in a number of ways. Give us a call and we can chat about the best ways we can serve your guests at your event.
