About Christopher Murphy:
I'm chris murphy and i'm a professional caricaturist, artist and pianist living in arnside, cumbria on the edge of the english lake district.
i'm a caricaturist and draw commissioned caricature portraits from photos for surprise gifts. I also draw caricatures on-the-spot for weddings, parties, corporate events and exhibitions. I cover mainly cheshire, manchester, liverpool, lancashire, yorkshire, cumbria, the lake district, the north and north west, but will travel to other locations.
i also paint in watercolour and pastel and i also work to commission and paint a wide variety of subjects such as portraits of people, houses, pets and landscapes. I was based in ulverston, cumbria for several years and had my own gallery there and produced a series of ulverston related prints. I now work from my studio in arnside.
Show Description:
Brilliant for parties, weddings, dinner dances, promotional/training events and exhibitions. On-the-spot caricature portraits are a great icebreaker - they get people talking. I chat and joke with guests as i draw which all helps to make it a fun occasion, and your guests have a permanent souvenir to take away to remind them of their day (or night!).
my caricature style is flattering but humorous so guaranteed not to offend. I draw mainly black and white outline sketches but can work in full colour if numbers are small.
