Berkshire Caricature Artist to hire

Hi, I’m David (though most know me as Dave), the full-time artist behind Groves Caricatures. Since 2012, I’ve drawn over 65,000 live faces, transforming guests into hilarious, personalized works of art in just minutes.

I provide Fab, Fast, and Fun caricature entertainment across the entire Berkshire area. Whether I’m “table-hopping” at a high-end wedding, mingling at corporate award ceremonies, or acting as an event cartoonist for a 50th birthday blast, I bring a unique blend of skill, speed, and sparkling personality to every sketch.

Creating Buzz Across Berkshire
My walkabout style is designed to generate genuine connection, laughter, and the occasional bit of “creative mayhem.” I specialize in capturing convincing funny faces that become a real conversation piece for years to come.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had David attend my 60th birthday party in July 2026. All of my guests absolutely loved the way he engaged with them and the final caricature(s) that was presented to them. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him as a great form of original entertainment for parties and functions. Lots of my guests were able to take home something to remember such a special night. ***** Thank you again GC, top class artist :)

He is easy to communicate with, friendly, professional, self sufficient and gets straight to it, making everyone feel at ease.
Everyone got to keep their picture and we will treasure ours with wonderful memories. Well worth the money.
Thankyou

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David is the most wonderfully talented Caricaturist.  He added so much to the uniqueness of our special wedding day.
He was wonderful with our guests and created both a genuine rapport whilst drawing the most incredible likness of each individual.
Each of our guests was delighted with their caricature to take home with them.
We recommend purchasing cardboard tubes for each guest to keep their drawing pristine.

I met David at my friend’s wedding party and was so impressed with his caricatures I immediately knew I wanted him for our wedding entertainment. David is friendly, chatty and so talented - from the moment he arrived our guests were queuing up for a caricature and it brought so much laughter and entertainment. I’d highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for something fun and quirky for their wedding. Thank you!

Searching for a unique way to break the ice at your next event? As an experienced Berkshire wedding caricaturist, I have had the pleasure of entertaining guests at some of the county’s most prestigious and charming locations. From the rolling hills of West Berkshire to the historic venues of Windsor and Ascot, my easel has traveled the length of the M4 to bring laughter to every occasion.

Paul Daniels Caricature

Paul Daniels, the “Godfather of Magic,” was a legendary Berkshire resident. Living in Wargrave with the lovely Debbie McGee, his Paul Daniels Magic Show dominated Saturday night TV for over 15 years. Known for his wit and “upside-down triangle” head shape, Paul was a dream subject for live caricatures.

He famously embraced his Spitting Image parody, even using his toupee as a comedic prop. Beyond the illusions and his controversial 1987 “Iron Maiden” stunt, Paul was a genuine enthusiast of the art form; he reportedly curated a caricature collection in his home. Though we lost him in 2016, his legacy as a humorous, inspirational performer remains a staple of Berkshire’s rich cultural history.
