Simon Ellinas Caricatures

Solo Caricaturist drawing approximately 12 Black and White paper caricatures per hour.

Simon is a leading on-the-spot caricaturist. With an impressive clientele and a wealth of experience, he has previously drawn for 5 News, Apple, BBC, Channel 4, Deutsche Bank, Google, Hamleys, Johnson and Johnson, Microsoft, Nokia, L’Oreal, Samsung and many more!

Simon’s talent as a cartoonist and caricaturist was apparent from a young age, starting as soon as he was able to grasp a pencil. He later received formal training at art school where, instead of focusing on large-scale oil paintings as intended, he opted to create cartoon illustrations and caricatures (against his tutor’s advice!).

Although an accomplished and in-demand cartoonist for newspapers and magazines, Simon also works as a busy caricaturist at weddings, parties and corporate events.

Delivering entertaining live art that creates lots of laughs amongst guests, Simon concentrates on creating amusing, cheeky (but always polite) likenesses within each portrait.

As standard, Simon tends to draw in black ink and grey markers on high-quality paper. Each caricature takes around 5 minutes to create (averaging around 12 portraits per hour).

Alternatively, if requested, Simon can produce digital colour caricatures on iPad roughly taking around 8-9 minutes

I work mainly at corporate events and company parties but also do weddings, birthday parties and any occasion where caricatures might seem appropriate. My past clients include Apple, Coca-Cola, BBC, Channel Four, Channel Five, Comic Relief, ITV, Microsoft, Samsung, Virgin and many more.
