Caricaturists
ENTCO recommends caricaturists for many reasons:
To be recommended by ENTCO a caricaturist must draw 35+ pictures per hour for 3 or more hours sustained.
- Regardless of an attendees native language or ethnic background, they understand pictures and are entertained
- The artists are are silent and don't interfere with other activities or entertainers.
- Caricatures are a perfect marketing medium because they never go out of style.... they are rarely thrown away!
- Artists take up very little space but can entertain thousands if you add live video projection of their art in progress
- Every caricature is a personal keepsake reminding the guest of your event or your sponsor... it is rarely thrown away!.... and a reason to visit your website if you post them after an event
- The art stock is a perfect fundraising / marketing opportunity for you and your event sponsors
- Want more trade show traffic? Caricaturists are huge attractions at public events & trade shows.. they are a perfect way to attract attention and build qualified prospecting lists.

Retired 15 years later... Undefeated.!

Steve Hartley
Average 70 pictures per hour
Steve has a legitimate claim to Huf's title "Fastest Caricaturist Alive" He cruises at 70 full face pictures per hour and when we timed him in a one hour sprint... he delivered an amazing 129..! see video below. When Steve uses projection he is guaranteed to draw a crowd. Ideal for high traffic trade shows with long hours or larger receptions where quantity production is a must.
