Mark Penta Caricatures - Caricature Artist for parties & events
Caricatures are very popular at any kind of function. Party hosts love it because creative, fun and entertaining, and allows their guests to take a memento home.

I've probably drawn close to a million people in my life so far.

It wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that in nearly every country on the planet there is a home with one of my caricatures hanging on a wall.

Prior to graduating from University of Hartford Art School, I got started drawing caricatures in a restaurant on picturesque Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1990.

From 1992 to 1995 I drew in Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. I drew thousands of people there--all shapes, sizes, ages & colors--from all walks of life.

Since then I've drawn at thousands of parties & events around Boston and New England. Lucky for me, people love getting drawn--caricatures are very popular at any kind of function. Party hosts love it because it's not only creative, fun and entertaining, but it allows their guests to take a memento home.

Surprisingly, my hand doesn't hurt yet, so I'd love to draw at your next event!

Here's How it Works
After we discuss the details of your event, I'll send you a contract--just sign and return it with the specified deposit.
The day of the event, have a table & chairs set up near an outlet.
I show up 20 minutes early to set up, dressed for the occasion.
I draw at parties throughout New England--no additional travel cost for events within an hour of Boston. (I'm also available for far away places.)
Guests know immediately that the artist has arrived! Within moments I'm drawing your crowd!

Drawing Caricatures of Your Guests
I have a great time talking with each model and incorporating their personality or favorite hobby into the drawing.
My caricatures are on the flattering side but I'm not afraid to exaggerate if the personality or mood of the party dictates!
If you're planning a huge event, and want as many people as possible to get drawn, I suggest you have me contract additional artists. I work with New England's best caricaturists. If I'm already booked on your date, I can still provide you with a great artist.
