And the trend continues! We have been doing more and more weddings than any other occasion this summer! This time, Goofy Faces had 2 artists drawing at a wedding reception in Ann Arbor at the Michigan Union Ballroom. The artist were such a hit that the groom asked them both to stay longer than originally planned to make sure everyone who wanted one got their caricature drawn!

It seems that we have been hired to draw at a lot more wedding receptions this year than at any time in the past. It's not that surprising when you think about how fun it is to have an artist or two at the reception drawing friends and family all night. Everyone enjoys watching the artists draw them while many of the guests have a memorable keepsake from the occasion. Unlike many other entertainment novelties, our artists are experienced entertainers in addition to being fantastic artists. So it's a win-win for everyone involved!

Goofy Faces was recently hired to draw full color caricatures at the Stars & Stripes Gymnastic Banquet held at the Fountains Golf & Banquet Center in Clarkston, MI. In order to get all 36 gymnasts finished in under 4 hours, a template was created for the first time that included color. Each body was preprinted with the color already there so only the faces needed to be drawn live and colored. It was a great success and now is another option for customers everywhere!
