Ben is a professional artist who has spent most of my life drawing CARICATURES, exaggerated portraits with large heads and small bodies, for clients around the world...
Ben offers over 40 years of experience drawing caricatures at parties and for clients from coast to coast, and he'd love the opportunity to draw for you, too!
Benentertained for President Reagan and Vice President Bush at a 1988 event, drew many of President Clinton's guests at one of his 1992 Inaugural Balls, served as the Washington Redskins' "National Defense" caricaturist for fundraising projects that year, illustrated books, magazine articles, album covers, and calendars, and once even taught a caricature class for the FBI!
He also was a featured entertainer at corporation conventions and parties, drew at hundreds of bar and batmitzvahs, created print ads, painted caricature-themed murals and billboards, illustrated websites, sketched at many elementary schools and nursing homes, and in 1994, he returned to the Corcoran as a guest speaker, on alternative careers for artists!
His Party rates are very reasonable and can work solo, or will do multiple artist jobs.
