Not everyone knows that Szczepan Sadurski, known for many years as a maker of humorous drawings printed by well-known newspapers in Poland, is also an event caricaturist. We talk about the profession of an event caricaturist with one of the fastest caricaturists in the world
Caricatures at events and weddings
– Why is drawing caricatures live during company events and weddings more and more popular in Poland?
– All kinds of events are organized mainly to bring joy and smile to the invited guests. Therefore, attractions that will help in this are sought. Participation in the artistic spectacle, which is drawing caricatures live and laughing at the sight of your likeness, is often the biggest attraction of the event. In addition, one that will be remembered for a long time. The participant of the event returns home with a nice souvenir in the form of his cheerful portrait. This means that there are actually two attractions, and the event organizer pays for one.
– Have the organizers’ habits of hiring caricaturists for events changed after the Covid-19 pandemic
I’ve noticed two changes. If an event is already planned, the best event artists are selected. Reliable people, experienced contractors. Secondly, more events are organized with fewer participants. I used to be most often invited to events attended by 50 or more people. Currently, I travel several hundred kilometers to provide an attraction for 20-30 participants. With small events, the organizer is aware that he cannot hire a random artist. What counts is talent, extensive experience and a well-known name of the artist. And is there any free time. Finances are one of the elements that make up the decision and not always the most important.
Poland. The fastest caricaturist for a wedding
– You mentioned weddings. Drawing caricatures live at wedding ceremonies is probably a novelty in Poland?
– Not at all. The truth is that many people operating in the event and wedding industry for years still do not know that such an attraction exists. Many people think that it takes 15 minutes to make one caricature. As much as caricaturists drawing in the street. The wedding organizer changes his mind when he finds out that Sadurski needs only 100 seconds to take one happy portrait.
– How much? 100 seconds? Is it possible?
– Exceptionally in my case – it is possible. 100 people drawn in 4 hours, for example at a wedding, is a standard for me, not an exceptional achievement. Such an extraordinary speed of drawing, as well as an attractive fee, convinces my clients.
