Caricature Artist Galway- Hotel Meyrick Christmas Lunch 2017!
Caricature Artist Allan Cavanagh: Here’s some of the caricatures I drew yesterday for the Hotel Meyrick’s Client Christmas Lunch. The lunch was hosted in the hotel and I ended up drawing a few clients of my own, which was funny because I’ve drawn so many caricatures *for* them, I’ve never gotten around to drawing one of them!
Galway Wedding: Drinks Reception Entertainment with Caricature Artist!
Galway Wedding: As one of Ireland’s top wedding caricature artists I’ve worked extensively all over Galway City and County and I thought it would be helpful to recap some of the venues I’ve worked in. I’ve literally drawn 1000s of wedding guests all over the county I’ve made my home since 1994 (I’m a Donegal man!). My caricatures are an excellent addition to your drinks reception and I do after the meal on request. Most couples go to some scenic location straight after their wedding to get their photos taken. Live caricatures create a focal point of entertainment in your absence. It’s a great ice-breaker as I get a crowd of guests gathered around me as I create my caricatures in under 3 minutes per face. There are roars of laughter when my drawings are revealed to the sitting guests! The paper is printed with the newlyweds’ names and the date of their wedding so they make an excellent keepsake for wedding guests. Even if your wedding is 2 years away you should contact me about my Galway wedding caricatures as slots are filling up. I have a great range of Google reviews so do check them out! I do of course cover the whole of the island of Ireland so don’t think I only cover Galway from this post! I have done weddings in hundreds of venues all over the country.
Galway Comedy Carnival: Phill Jupitus in the Kenny Gallery Galway

Phill Jupitus was in Galway for the Galway Comedy Carnival and spent several mornings in the Kenny Gallery. Phill was putting his own spin on existing works using his iPad and the public was invited to join in. I went up on the last day and took part. It was a lot of fun, Phill creates very accomplished pieces in a short time.
