The role of a caricaturist (such as French caricaturist Honoré Daumier, cartoonist Luz or Siné from Charlie Hebdo, comic book artist Frabrice Err) is to create humorous or satirical drawings in just a few minutes that criticize or comment on current events (editorial cartoons), politics (political cartoons), or popular culture (caricatures of Muhammad, exaggerated depictions of World War I, the 19th century, Louis XVI, Henri III, Napoleon I, etc.). Caricatures are usually indelible and used as humorous illustrations in newspapers (editorial cartoonists or press caricaturists), magazines, illustrated publications, pamphlets, websites, or live events, and are intended to entertain and inform the public. Caricaturists must have great skill in explanatory and silly comic drawing to ridicule or create parody and irony, as well as keen observation skills and a good understanding of current events and political and cultural affairs. They must also be able to work quickly and meet deadlines, as caricatures are often used to comment on current events in real-time. The work of a caricaturist can vary depending on their employer and target audience. Caricaturists working for newspapers or magazines may be tasked with creating drawings to illustrate articles or news stories, while those working for live events may be required to create on-demand drawings to entertain the audience. Therefore, you can hire a humorous artist for your wedding or corporate event entertainment. Caricaturists can also work as freelancers and offer their services to various clients.

An illustrator/caricaturist has the right to make fun. Therefore, there are several reasons why a person or a company might hire a caricaturist: • Entertainment: caricatures can be very entertaining and can bring a touch of humor to an event or publication. • Communication of current events: caricatures can be used to humorously illustrate or comment on current events or political and cultural issues (propaganda). • Souvenir of an event: caricatures can be used as a keepsake of an event, such as a wedding or birthday party. • Advertising: caricatures can be used to promote a business or product in a unique and memorable way. • Gift: a caricatured image can be a personalized, original, and fun gift to give to a friend or family member. It is important to note that caricatures can be used for positive or negative purposes. They can be used to criticize or mock people or situations, which can be offensive to some individuals.

Here are some steps to find a caricaturist: • Ask friends or family if they know a professional portrait artist. If someone has already used a caricaturist and was pleased with the result, they may be willing to recommend the same artist to you. • Do an online search.

You can use search engines to find artists in your area or use online platforms specialized in connecting clients and service providers like Starofservice. • Look at newspaper or magazine ads.

It is difficult to give a precise price range for the services of a caricaturist, as rates can vary depending on many factors, such as the artist's level of experience, the complexity of the drawing, the type of commission (e.g. a caricature for an event or publication), the number of drawings requested, the delivery time, etc. In general, professional caricaturists usually charge for their services per hour or per drawing. Hourly rates can range from 30 to 100 euros per hour, depending on the artist's level of experience and overhead costs in the region.
