BREAKING NEWS FROM FAIRHOPE

A large crowd gathered Wednesday afternoon at the Fairhope Library for the Summer Reading Kickoff.

Local police officers were on the scene… but thankfully it wasn’t an emergency. They were there to talk with kids about safety and careers in law enforcement.

The Eastern Shore Art Center kept young artists busy with hands-on crafts, face painters transformed children into everything from butterflies to superheroes, and the Trail Maids turned heads in their beautiful Southern belle dresses.

Meanwhile, Caricatures by Kathy reportedly had a line out the door.

Kids were invited to choose their own cartoon bodies from Kathy’s famous “Body Boards” before being drawn. Superheroes usually dominate these events, but this time there was a surprise winner:

The Trail Maids.

With the real Trail Maids walking around the event in their beautiful dresses, little girls couldn’t resist choosing the Trail Maid cartoon body for their caricatures.

One mom summed it up perfectly:

“I wanted to be a Trail Maid when I was a girl too.”

Thank you to the Fairhope Library for putting together such a wonderful community event and encouraging children to keep reading all summer long.

Caricatures by Kathy is available for private parties, corporate events, weddings, schools, libraries, festivals, and community events throughout the Gulf Coast.

When it rains while you’re on vacation, what do you do?

Well, you could sit inside and watch reruns. That doesn’t sound very fun.

Maybe an activity?

Except that everyone else is doing the exact same thing.

So the indoor water park is packed. The trampoline park is completely full. The indoor mini golf has a line out the door.

What can you do instead?

You could try something new you’ve never tried before. Something that isn’t the same old thing.

Something most people have always wanted to try but never had the opportunity.

What am I talking about?

One of the things that I like to do when I’m drawing caricatures at live events is to allow guests to choose which cartoon body they would like.

I even bring body boards for guests to choose from, which is half the fun!

At this particular event, it was a first birthday party, and even the adults got into the act.

I also allow guests to choose whatever body and scene they want, even if it’s not on the board. (As long as they keep it clean!)

So guess what this couple chose?

They’re totally my ideal clients.

They wanted to be riding dinosaurs in front of a volcano!
Awesome!!!

I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and judging by their reaction, so were they.

One of the best things about themed caricatures is that guests get to be part of the creative process. Want to be riding a dinosaur? A Disney princess? A superhero? A mermaid? You got it!

If you're having a themed event and would like something besides decorations to bring it to life, my live caricatures can be customized to fit almost any theme.

And yes... apparently that includes dinosaur riders in front of a volcano.

Thinking about entertainment for an upcoming event?

Caricatures are the only entertainment that doubles as a personalized party favor.

BOOM. Party planning is done!

Did your last event have people laughing like this? If not, you might want to hire a Live Caricature Artist.

A few reasons people hire me:

✅ Flattering – My goal is to make your guests happy. I want them to love their caricature, take it home, and hang it on the wall. You want that too.

✅ Fast – I draw 20–30 faces per hour, making me one of the fastest caricature artists in the world and about twice as fast as the average artist.

✅ FUN – I don't just draw. I talk with your guests, tell stories, joke around, and keep the energy up. I don't sit quietly in a corner drawing from photos.

If you're on the Gulf Coast and planning a corporate event, wedding, rehearsal dinner, company picnic, Sweet 16, milestone birthday, retirement party, senior prom, graduation party, first birthday, or any other special celebration...

Caricatures make them all better.

What's the advantage of having a smaller event?

You can get full color caricatures AND choose your body & background.

I recently got to draw caricatures for the graduates at Guinn Beauty Institute, and since it was a smaller group, I had the chance to spend a little more time on each drawing than I usually can at a big event.

Instead of my typical quick black-and-white sketches, each graduate received a full-color caricature with a background.

The graduates got to pick whatever cartoon bodies they wanted - from the pictures,
can you guess what’s my most popular female cartoon body?

I love getting to chat with everyone, hear what they have planned next, and be part of celebrating such a big accomplishment.

People often ask how many people I can draw in an hour, but after doing this for so many years, I've learned that every event is different.

Sometimes it's all about speed, like when I draw at the beach club on Tuesday evenings - but sometimes it makes more sense to stop and draw the roses. So to speak.

This was definitely one of those times where slowing down paid off.

Congratulations to all of the graduates, and thank you to Guinn Beauty Institute for inviting me to celebrate with you!

Worried your favors will get left behind?

You’re not alone.

That’s one reason so many couples choose caricatures.

They keep guests entertained during the reception and give them a personalized keepsake they’ll actually want to keep.

Happy Guests. Less Stress.
