Elevate Your Trade Show Presence with the Power of eSketches™What exactly are eSketches™:

Many of our skilled caricature artists now provide digital eSketches™. A vibrant, live, and colored digital caricature. Utilizing an iPad, tablet, or other digital platforms, eSketches™ offer an exhilarating alternative to traditional caricatures. Tailored for live tradeshows, expos, and corporate events, our artists craft individual faces and promptly print them on 4X6 or 5X7 inch photo paper.

Each eSketch™ artist comes equipped with a sizable display screen, allowing your guests to witness the creation of each caricature in real time. They also provide a color printer so your attendees can walk away with their own copy of their finished eSketch! Most will fit right inside their lanyard for continued promotion of your brand! On average, our eSketch artists can produce approximately 7-9 faces per hour, ensuring a lively and engaging atmosphere. After the tradeshow has ended, our team provides a post-event link to you for convenient viewing and downloading of every eSketch crafted during your special occasion. Also, it’s a great opportunity to reach out to your new connections!

Are Virtual Trade Shows Absolutely Here to Stay?

By Bryon Scott | April 11, 2021 | Comments Off on Are Virtual Trade Shows Absolutely Here to Stay?

Can you still be in business if you don’t meet your customers?

We are all anticipating the return to in-person events. Yet some predict that virtual trade shows and corporate events will become the norm – not the exception – in the post-pandemic world. Very likely we will see many events and trade shows offer a ‘hybrid’ format with both in-person and virtual options for attendees.

For business to thrive companies will still need to connect with and engage prospects in fun, unique and memorable ways. This is true whether you go all in for in person, or you stay completely virtual, or you do a combination of both.

Four party planning tips for fun and memorable celebrating

It starts with first steps. Then it’s first words, then first day at school. As they grow, our children have a limited number of first – or only – events in their lives.

A Family Caricature Makes Memories Last

By Robert Bauer | August 25, 2019 |

Make Memories Last Longer with a Custom Caricature

The good and the bad of having a camera that fits in the palm of your hand

If you’re of a certain age, you remember taking pictures on a camera – with film. Back in those dark ages, you waited, several days even, to see if the pictures were any good!

That Was Then

Remember how exciting it was to open that envelope and see if maybe, just maybe, there was one good family picture? Then you proudly showed it to everyone and displayed it in a photo album or frame. Every time you walk by it you fondly remember that special moment!

This is Now

Today we have some of the most sophisticated photographic tools in the palms of our hands, our smart phones. But when was the last time you printed a family picture from your phone and put it in a frame? Most people don’t.

A family caricature is fun and makes memories last longer.

Goofy Faces will be at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts Art & Apples Festival(r) September 6-8, 2019.

When you take hundreds of pictures at time, it can be overwhelming to choose just one.  Oftentimes the images live on our phones and in our social media feeds, but they rarely make it to a coveted place on the wall for all the family to enjoy.

Make it Memorable

When you and your loved ones sit down for a custom, family caricature, you get a one-of-a-kind piece of art, featuring you! It’s more than a photo, it’s hand-drawn memory you will treasure forever. As summer winds down and kids head back to school, there’s still time to make memories and get a custom keepsake caricature you’ll treasure for years to come.

Enjoy an outing to your local zoo or aquarium. Most retail stands are open daily through Labor Day weekend, then weekends only through Halloween. Click here to see if we’re at a location near you!

Or check out local events like the upcoming Art & Apples Festival® in Rochester, MI, sponsored by Paint Creek Center for the Arts. While there, get your face painted or family caricature drawn by one of our artists so you can capture the moment and remember this special time.
