2020 was a year that most will never forget. Zoom calls, Facetiming, and socially distanced outdoor gatherings were the new norm. Luckily, those days are waning, and terms like mask-up and “stay home, stay safe” are firmly in the rear-view mirror. According to the CDC guidelines, families and friends can begin to gather again!
Now more than ever, we look forward to reuniting with our loved ones after what seems like forever and the best way to kick off the summer season is by having a family reunion or picnic. Whether your 2021 reunion is in person, virtual, or a 50/50 split, making the day memorable and fun is extremely important this year!
Seeing your loved ones for the first time in person is long overdue! And having Goofy Faces as a part of your celebration will offer live in-person entertainment, provide laughs and smiles, and give all guests a special keepsake to remember the day for years to come. Our artists are just as excited as your guests to get back to doing what they love! Whether you’re looking for a traditional caricature drawing, live eSketches™, face painting, or caricature coaster we have you covered. Goofy Faces has over 500 artists nationwide and they are easy to book on our website. Best of all, our artists can compile the sketches into a group caricature!

Once you’ve booked your artist(s), we’ve got you covered. Our artists bring with them everything they need and will happily set up in the area most convenient for your party.
Having virtual reunions are still popular and we are here for it! Goofy Faces is flexible to work with and can join your zoom party or can host the party for you. Our artists are skilled and experienced in creating digital caricatures or eSketches™(even before 2020). Your artist can draw each guest, one at a time, or two together as a couple. After your Zoom Party, Goofy Faces can even compile a group caricature of all your guests for an additional fee. Goofy Faces can join for the entire party or just for a specific timeframe to entertain guests and provide memorable gifts. They can even host your virtual party on Zoom if you like!
Seeing your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, siblings, children, and friends are precious moments that need to be captured more than ever. Goofy Faces is here to help you create lasting memories for all whether it is seeing your family reconnect in person or virtually.

Do you have a special occasion, anniversary, product launch, team achievement, or retirement you want to commemorate with a fun, custom-designed, group caricature? With over 35 years of experience in illustration, corporate branding, and design, Goofy Faces will create a unique and memorable piece of art for your team or family.
Like most artists these days, we do not have an art studio that is open to the public. However, if you are nearby one of our retail art stands like the ones we have at Los Angeles Zoo, Denver Zoo, Aquarium of the Pacific, The Florida Aquarium, St. Pete Pier or The National Zoo, you can drop by to be drawn live and in color by one of our talented artists while you wait. The next best thing to drawing live is to draw your group from photos. It’s important to have good, current, well-lit images.
A lot goes in to creating the artwork, so providing the best quality photos up front really helps make the process go smoother and helps keep your project on time.

Caricatures make virtual engagement parties fun!
February is the Month of Love!
According to WeddingWire.com, Valentine’s Day is the #5 most popular day to get engaged, after Christmas Day, the day after Christmas, New Year’s Day and the Sunday before Christmas.
On average, more marriage proposals happen in the weeks from Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day than at any other time of year.
Once the engagement happens, then the planning fun begins! With the pandemic still looming, it’s likely many events will still be held virtually. Proposal parties, engagement parties, wedding showers and even the weddings themselves will probably have a virtual component if not held entirely online.

Goofy Faces artists eSketches™ in person or virtually!

How do you keep it light and fun amid difficult times? Hire a Goofy Faces Caricature Artist to draw live remote caricatures! All you need is a laptop, tablet or smartphone with internet access as well as a color printer. Our artist engages with each person while drawing their caricature digitally, called an eSketch™ – in as little as six minutes! eSketches™ are drawn and colored digitally on a tablet or digital drawing pad. After showing the person their finished caricature, the artist uploads the final art to a Dropbox so you can access it from your device, view and print on the spot!
In addition, the host gets the digital files of all the images. Think of the possibilities! Use them for celebrating birthdays, employee recognition, or as something fun to send to your customers and friends. Sales staff like to use them in their email signature!
