New · Live caricatures · Ann Arbor & Detroit

Caricatures for parties, drawn live on the big screen.

Guests snap a selfie, then the whole room watches a pencil sketch them line by line on a big screen. The color brushes in, their name and message get signed, and they leave with a print and a video of their own drawing. Every guest who wants one gets drawn.

  1. Strike a pose

    Guests scan the QR code with their phone, or tap the booth screen. Selfie, name, a short message, a style. No app, no sign-in.

  2. The pencil finds every line

    Our AI turns the photo into a caricature, and the pencil traces it on the big screen, outlines first, while the room cheers them on.

  3. Then the color goes in

    Brushstroke by brushstroke, the drawing fills with color. You choose the pace: 12, 20 or 30 seconds a drawing.

  4. Signed, printed, sent

    Their message lands in a hand-drawn speech bubble, signed with their name. The print comes out at the booth, and the drawing and its video go to their phone.

Between guests, a 3D artist gets ready on screen and a wall of the night's drawings fills in.

Six styles

Six ways to get drawn.

Move across a sketch to see what it became. Every one of these was made by our booth app: the pencil lines first, then the finished caricature guests take home.

Questions

Live caricature questions, answered.

Still deciding? Book a free 30-minute call and we'll walk you through it.

What are live AI caricatures?

It's a caricature booth where AI does the drawing. Guests take a selfie at the booth or on their phone, our AI turns it into a caricature, and a pencil draws it line by line on a big screen while everyone watches. Then the color brushes in, and the guest gets a signed print plus a digital copy and a video of their drawing.

How is it different from hiring a caricature artist?

A caricaturist draws one guest at a time, and typically gets through about 15 to 20 people an hour. Here, each drawing plays out on screen in 12, 20 or 30 seconds, the whole room gets to watch, groups fit in one drawing, and guests leave with a print, a digital copy and a video instead of a single paper sketch.

How long does each drawing take?

On screen, a drawing plays out in 12, 20 or 30 seconds. We set the pace for your crowd. The AI makes each picture while the guest before them is still being drawn, so the line keeps moving.

Will guests still look like themselves?

Yes. Every style keeps each person's face recognizable and flattering, along with their hairstyle, skin tone, glasses, jewelry and outfit colors. Caricatures exaggerate in a friendly way: big heads, big smiles.

Do guests get a print?

Yes. Every drawing is printed at the booth with the guest's message in a speech bubble and their name signed in the corner. They also get the drawing and the video of it being drawn on their phone, by text or QR code.

Do we need a TV or projector?

The drawing plays on a big screen: a TV, a projector or a large monitor, in portrait or landscape. We'll plan the screen and where it goes with you before the event.

Is it family-friendly?

Yes. A friendly-words filter screens every name and message, and for family events we can approve each picture before it goes on the big screen.

Can the drawings match our wedding or company theme?

Yes. We can add a line to every drawing, like party hats, team jerseys or your company colors, and put your event name on every print. For brand activations, we can build a custom style.

How much do live caricatures cost?

$1,100 for 2 hours, $1,250 for 3 hours or $1,400 for 4 hours, with the attendant, unlimited drawings, prints and your gallery included. The living caricature video is a $250 add-on. A 25% retainer ($250 minimum) holds your date, and the balance is due 14 days before the event.

Where do you bring the caricature booth?

We're based in Ann Arbor and bring it to events across Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan. We also travel to Lansing, Grand Rapids and other cities up to about 150 miles away, with a travel fee past 35 miles.
