I've been doing caricatures professionally since 1992, when I became a midway caricaturist at Geauga Lake Park in Ohio (which became Six Flags, and is now back to Geauga Lake). While there, I set sales records for caricatures in the park.
I loved doing the drawing, but not so much the working every weekend in the summer, so I took my show on the road. Now I wander from party to party, doing caricatures for birthdays, office parties, Christmas parties, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs... wherever I can bring happiness, joy, and wacky pictures.
Wanna hire me? Here's what you need to know. I work on an hourly rate, and have a two-hour minimum. I'll travel anywhere within a one-hour or so radius of Cleveland for free, anything else will entail a travel charge. And don't think I'm limited to Ohio. You have a trade show in New Orleans and want an artist for it? You pay airfare and hotel, and I'll be there. |
I do about 20-25 an hour in black and white. You want color, full bodies, special paper (with your event's name and date)? We can do that, too, for an extra fee.
"But Thom," you say, "I need six artists for my evening event? Can you clone yourself?" Much to the disappointment of a good-sized contingent of the world's women, there is only one of me. But, I have a number of other artists I work with. I can get a Mission:Impossible team of artists together and handle your needs.
