Blue Island Artists

It's fast. It's fun. It looks just like you. In black and white, it takes just 3-4 minutes per person; in full color, about 7 minutes. How is that possible? After 21 years of doing this professionally I’m quick on the draw. My work must be good, because people throw their heads back and laugh out loud when they see the picture. Perfect for a family party, birthday, graduation party, wedding, mitzvah, family reunion, block party. In full color I draw 8 people an hour; in black and white 15-17 per hour. It's fun and affordable, $130. For example, for a kids party with 15 or 16 kids, I'll draw everybody in 2 hours and in full color. That's a wonderful party favor for about $8. So cool! When I draw kids I'm kind, aiming for a likeness that's full of energy and I put in a lot of attitude because they like that. Totally awesome! For adults, I go for the kind of humor that I hear all around me at this particular party. If they're hilarious, so are my drawings. If they're reserved and they dare me, hey, I can do that. I never offend. I'm there to make your guests happy so that you will get the credit for planning this great party. People stand around and watch over my shoulder as I draw. I love it. They give me ideas about what to do next. It’s an ice-breaker, creates a party atmosphere by itself. Then they go home and frame it. It makes your party memorable. It really is all about YOU and it’s about looking good. Perfect for a corporate event, trade show, company picnic, award dinner, holiday party, open house, office party. If you are planning a trade show or convention, listen up! My caricatures at your booth will steal the show. You will have a crowd. People stand in line. If the line is too long at that moment, they come back the next morning----early. My drawings are fast and fun. I draw at the rate of 3-4 minutes per person. What I hear all around me is, "hey, she’s good." For extra punch, the paper I draw on can be pre-printed with your logo and your message. Remember, people will frame this picture and talk about it and your business! I can also do art work for your display that ties in with your theme. I'm happy to work with you on the details. This is good for your business and it makes you look good. I never offend. That’s why I chat a little, to find out what kind of humor is appropriate at this particular event and for this particular person. This is important.
