Weddings, Parties and Dog Shows

Evsie Events

Evsie is the name I use to sign my cartoons these days. It's pronounced 'Ev-zee', not 'Eve-zee, as some people are inclined to do. 

Anyway. The slogan is, ‘It’s Not an Event without Evsie’. (Acknowledgements to our solicitor, Mr Stuart Barton, for coining that catch-phrase.) What kind of wedding is it if I’m not there, amusing and delighting the guests with my inky flourishes? It’s not much of a product launch or an open day without the Man With the Pad lighting up the lives of potential clients.

I’ve done a good few weddings in my time, and I know when to be visible and when to melt into the background, and I know how to dodge waiters if I’m required to work round the tables.
 
Apart from being a good way to lighten up an event, at least 30 guests are going to go home with a permanent reminder of it – I usually prepare a wad of paper with a few details pertaining the event or company printed along the bottom. And people, having had their picture, still sometimes ask – ‘and how much is that?’
‘Nothing! It’s a present from your host’. That really does leave a good impression.

I work in black ink, using a Pentel Brush-pen. I’ve been using these for ten years now, and I think they are utterly brilliant! I still have my first one, and I usually only have to replace them when I lose them.
 
My rates for any event booked after 1st June 2010 will be £200 for a full day, or £125 for a half day (up to four hours).  This is for events in the South Lakes region, and I might have to negotiate for expenses if it's a considerable distance.  Also, please note that I will only accept full day bookings for weddings. 

This page also features work from pay-per-picture events,  such as dog shows and family fun days.  I pay the organisers, and charge a small fee (usually a fiver) for each person or pooch I draw.  It must be remembered that these drawings take around ten minutes, so there is no time for polishing.  Princess Kitten and I are joint members of Made in Cumbria, so we are likely to be seen at shows in the area all the year round.

To see me at work, go to YouTube, and type 'Evsie'.
