Chris Evans
Chris Evans: A Guildford Media Icon
Broadcasting powerhouse Chris Evans is a true Guildford local, even owning a pub in nearby Chiddingfold. Once hailed as the top broadcaster of a generation, Chris defined 90s cool with TFI Friday and The Big Breakfast. I’ll never forget the chaos of Zig and Zag or the “interviews in bed” with Gaby Roslin!
While Johnny Vaughan and Denise van Outen later brought us Wonga and The Friday Song, it was Chris who started the mayhem. Capturing his high-energy, ginger-topped features in this Chris Evans Caricature is a nod to a local legend.

Simon Bird Caricature
Born and raised near Guildford, Simon Bird is a master of the “awkwardly hilarious.” He first shot to fame as the unforgettable Will McKenzie in The Inbetweeners, before winning our hearts again as Adam Goodman in the brilliant Friday Night Dinner.
Capturing Simon’s signature deadpan expression and iconic glasses in this Simon Bird caricature was a joy—he has one of those classic “funny faces” that perfectly suits my style! Whether it’s a Hollywood star or a Surrey wedding guest, I love bringing out the unique character and laughter in every face I draw.
