About Alan Simpson Ink

Alan Simpson Ink Competition

Alan is an exciting caricature artist based in Oxfordshire. He’s been a full-time caricaturist since 2014, usually drawing at around 120 events a year. He is amongst the fastest in the UK, drawing a quality caricature in just 4 minutes!

You can tell caricatures are his passion – he draws with such an animated face so as to breathe life into the pictures. Alan enjoys meeting people and loves entertaining them with the magic of live caricatures. He captures their personalities and quirks on the page with uncanny accuracy and consistency. The caricatures strike just the right balance between being humorous and complimentary.

Alan specializes in drawing stylish caricatures at events such as weddings. Not only is it fun to watch, but the drawings also make great gifts for the guests to take home - something personal that they’re likely to frame! Apart from drawing on paper, Alan also draws on his iPad at events. He brings a fresh approach to this cool medium, which allows him to draw these in colour as fast as his paper portraits.

He offers the following for weddings:

“Classic” Paper Caricatures 

Alan draws faces in 4 to 5 minutes each. That’s up to 15 faces (7 couples) per hour in black and white, often with splashes of colour. He prefers drawing seated at an easel for a better viewing experience but is just as comfortable to ‘mix ‘n mingle’ with the crowd. Alan also has a penchant for presentation and punctuality. He can help with a personalised message printed on the paper beforehand, or with other presentation ideas.

Digital Caricature “Wizardry”

Alan is just as comfortable drawing live on a tablet as on paper. He draws between 8 and 12 faces per hour on his iPad. He brings all his own equipment, including a large display monitor and a printer. The drawings can be printed or shared on the spot, along with a message or logo. A great idea for a wedding, where you can get two prints - one for the guests and one for the guestbook!
