Hi! My name is John Doherty, and I am a caricaturist. Some people have trouble pronouncing the word caricature, and some confuse it with the word character, asking if I do "character drawings". Caricatures do try to depict something of the subject's character, but they are two different words. Further compounding the confusion, you can pronounce the word CARicature, or caRICature. In any case,  I draw live caricatures at parties, and at business events, trade shows, bar mitzvahs, showers, what have you.

My work has twice been recognized by the National Caricaturist Network, which has since morphed into the International Society of Caricature Artists. I have also been invited to the Salon at St. Just le Martel in France and displayed my work there among the cartoonists & caricaturists from all points of the globe.

In my years in the business, I have entertained rock stars, presidential candidates, and the occasional ambassador. My party art has enlivened many an occasion, and can do the same for your event. Call me @ 978 927-8057, or by email at john@johndoherty.com to discuss how I can help make you event a big success.
Here's some recent iPad caricature: one entertainer, two from the world of politics, and one of the 2012 Student Athlete Award winners from The Salem News (link here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/87984113/Student-Athlete-2012#fullscreen ):

Since 1980, John Doherty has presented the finest caricaturists working in New England. For 16 years during and after the run of the NBC-TV show Cheers, John was the House Caricaturist of the real life inspiration for the setting, The Bull & Finch Pub. Doherty has drawn everyone from U. S. Senators,  presidential candidates, congressmen, and Ambassadors to members of the rock bands Aerosmith, The Grateful Dead & Hot Tuna. He has been invited to lecture on facial recognition at MIT, and has twice been honored  by the dominant body of professional caricaturists, The International Caricaturist Network and has been invited to display his work at the Salon at St. Just, France . His work has been projected behind the Boston Pops during a performance. Some of his work can be seen in print and advertising.
