Hey there, I'm Gary Carvalho, the live caricaturist behind the enchanting artistry! Picture this: your wedding or corporate bash, bursting with energy and laughter as I bring your event to life with my unique talent. It's not just entertainment; it's an experience your guests will never forget. Imagine this: guests stepping up, excited to see themselves transformed into hilarious caricatures right before their eyes. It's a riot of laughter and banter as I capture their essence with every stroke of my pen. And guess what? They get to take home these one-of-a-kind treasures as souvenirs! My mission? To not only create spot-on caricatures but also to amp up the fun factor! Whether you're into a quirky, exaggerated style or a more natural look, I've got you covered. And let me tell you, the laughter doesn't stop once the sketch is done; it's a non-stop party as I engage with the crowd, creating an interactive experience like no other. Just imagine the thrill of seeing yourself immortalized in ink, live and in person. It's a memory that'll bring smiles for years to come! And hey, I'm lightning fast too. In just three minutes, I can whip up a masterpiece on A4 paper for individuals, couples, or small groups. Need something bigger? No problem! I can accommodate larger groups on larger pages, perfect for those epic group caricatures. Want to add a personal touch? I can customize each page with a company logo or a beautiful wedding monogram, making it truly unique. Best part? Every guest gets their caricature on the house! Trust me, this isn't just a good entertainment idea for your event; it's an absolute game-changer. Get in touch, I'm conversant in English and Afrikaans; let's make it happen!
A live caricaturist's job is like no other! It's not your typical 9-to-5. I'm an artist who draws caricatures at events as a form of interactive entertainment. People love what I do and often show their appreciation by praising me, giving hugs, and posting about me on social media. They even hang my drawings in their homes and offices! I get to meet tons of cool people, travel to awesome places, and enjoy great food and music while I work.
The best part? I get to make people's special moments even more memorable with my drawings. And when I work for companies, I become part of their team, sharing laughs and becoming friends with the staff. Plus, I work when others are off, so it feels more like a fun hobby than a job. It's pretty awesome!
I transitioned from creating digital motion graphics for TV shows to drawing hand-sketch caricatures live at events like weddings and corporate gatherings. While I enjoyed my work in digital media for nearly 25 years, I felt the need for a change to explore and express my talents in new ways. Live caricature drawing offers a unique form of artistry where I can capture people's likenesses quickly and interactively, adding entertainment value to special occasions. I started my own business, Live Cartoon Portraits, to pioneer this industry, ensuring professional and trustworthy service for clients who invest a lot in their events. My goal is to make these occasions even more memorable and enjoyable through my work as a live caricaturist.
My caricature art is unique because I offer a realistic style that enhances people's features in a special way. While exaggerated caricatures are fun and generate laughter, it's the realistic ones that people cherish and proudly display. But it's not just about my art – clients also appreciate the individual behind the service or product. I bring value by having a good sense of humour and fostering a pleasant atmosphere around my workspace. In my role as an entertainer, I excel at connecting with people from diverse cultures and age groups, creating an enjoyable yet respectful environment. I prioritize maintaining a positive demeanour, appearance, and behaviour.
I believe that as an entrepreneur, social skills are just as important as business skills because people are the backbone of any business. Integrity and professionalism are key values for my company, Live Cartoon Portraits. This means delivering excellent service, memorable entertainment, and going the extra mile fuelled by passion to make every moment special for my clients.
My business prioritizes both client satisfaction and the safety of everyone involved in my live caricature sessions. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, I ensured that health and safety regulations were followed meticulously. While it wasn't always possible to mark out queueing spaces due to venue constraints, I made sure there was enough room for proper distancing around my workstation. Additionally, I arranged my setup to prevent onlookers from crowding too closely, using natural barriers like walls and tables. I always wore a mask, even outdoors, and maintained good hygiene practices like hand-washing. Guests handled their caricatures themselves to minimize contact, and thanks to these precautions, I remained virus-free despite working around hundreds of guests during lockdown gigs.

D.J. Wilby is truly thorough, knowledgeable and an around nice person to work with. He is on top of all that needs to be done sound wise for a wedding and his thorough planning ensures no need for stress on the day in terms of sound, music and around vibe. DJ Shazam really comes alive later the evening with the party. His music is amazing and kept us dancing the whole night. Songs we requested were all played and he ensures music is played relevant to the people dancing, sensing when to play what music. This gave us an around enjoyable evening, and sore feet in the morning ! We truly are grateful for DJ Shazam. Thank you Wilby!
