Smug Mugz Digital EventLive digital caricature is a unique, new, and exciting form of entertainment for your guest that brings traditional caricature to a whole new level. See an experienced artist bring an image to life with more guests able to see the drawing created comfortably from afar. Guests receive a printed copy on the spot as well as a digital version as a memorable keepsake! There is definitely an extra WOW factor that will impress any guest.

The magic happens just like traditional caricatures -- the artist hand draws the sitting subject in real-time in front of an audience where friends and family can see the image unfold before their eyes. However, unlike traditional caricatures, the image is drawn on a digital tablet and digital pencil and projected magically onto a flat screen tv. The image is then immediately printed with a portable printer with a digital version of the original drawing that can be downloaded as a soft-copy.

I guarantee that the entertainment you book is of the highest standard, and suited to the occasion, so that you and your guests have the best time. Ever.

Travel Fee:
Depending on the event's location, a travel fee may apply to cover gasoline expense, vehicle "wear & tear" and driving time. Mile distance is calculated using Google Maps driving directions, from caricature artist's home in Redondo Beach to event location. Any distance under 100 round-trip driving miles will not be charged a travel fee. For example, for an event in Cerritos, the approximate round-trip mileage is approximately 40 miles, and takes an estimated 1 hour to 2 hours round-trip, depending on traffic. The applicable travel fee for your event would be WAIVED.

Retainer Fee: $100 minimum, non-refundable, applied to your total.
The retainer fee reserves your date and time. In the extremely rare event of the artist being unable to perform, Client will be notified as far in advance as possible and any retainer fee(s) will be refunded in full. Remaining balance is due at the day of your event.
