Hi, I’m Dave, bringing high-energy entertainment to weddings, corporate retreats, and private parties throughout the New Forest and across Hampshire. My mission is to spark an immediate buzz—moving among your guests to create genuine connections, loud laughter, and a signature touch of ‘Dave’ mayhem!

Whether I’m table-hopping at a forest barn wedding, mingling with delegates at a Lyndhurst award ceremony, or acting as the Event Cartoonist for a 50th birthday blast in Lymington, I ensure your guests are the stars of the show. In just a few minutes, I capture convincing, funny likenesses that serve as the perfect ice-breaker and a unique, hand-drawn memento of your celebration.

Capturing the Character. Mastering the Smile. Creating the Memory.

I am available for hire across the entire region, from the coastal charm of Lymington and Hythe to the forest hubs of Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, and Ringwood. Whether it’s a rustic barn celebration in Totton or a luxury estate event in Beaulieu, I bring world-class ‘No AI’ art to every celebration.

Chris Packham Caricature

Chris Packham: New Forest Naturalist & Wildlife Warrior
As a lifelong resident of the New Forest, Chris Packham is the ultimate champion for British wildlife. From his iconic days on The Really Wild Show to the seasonal updates of Springwatch, Chris has spent decades turning conservation into high-energy television. Whether he’s advocating for bat conservation (from his own loft!) or sparking debate with his “assertive conservation” ideas, his passion for the natural world is undeniable.

Here is a caricature of the New Forest’s very own Chris Packham. Chris has spoken openly about his Asperger’s diagnosis, proving that a unique perspective is a superpower in the world of art and science. Just as Chris captures the spirit of the Hampshire wilderness, I bring that same 100% human connection and “Really Wild” energy to every event I draw across the New Forest.
