Being Drawn into Wicked Fun by Our Digital Artisans Has Never Been Easier

It's Like Laughter 2.0

Notice how in an age of iPhones and iPads, attention spans seem to shorten. Imagine our skilled artisans using this same tech in their hands to spin your guests into attentive laughing crowds!

Effortless Fun for Your Event

Did you find that little voice in your head wondering, "How am I going make this event a success?"

Well, what we created has been described as Hirschfeld meets Minority Report: award winning art meeting futuristic touch screen technology!

Do what Google, Coca-Cola, and Xerox do: bring Angie in to create that intense laughter and amazement.

Totally Social

As Twitter and Facebook have exploded in popularity, people are increasingly sharing experiences. Why not let them share your fun by emailing them their digital caricature? We do. On the spot.

By the way, with everyone having smartphones, they'll start sharing their fun caricatures around the world while at your event!

And while you're at it, become one of Angie's fans (a fun club of over 1,300 fans!) at facebook.com/caricatures and get a chance each month to get drawn for free!

Totally Portable

With the iPad caricatures, you will even be able to choose to have Angie stroll throughout your event while still printing wirelessly and have the caricatures being drawn show up live and wirelessly on a giant flat screen monitor! No wires. No limits. Plenty of fun.

Want Reliable? Angie Even Wrote the Book!

When dealing with electronics, we've all had things go wrong. That's why we have backups ready to roll, if needed.

In fact, digital artists, from San Francisco to Singapore to Florida, have learned from Angie's instructional step by step book, "Byting Into Live Digital Caricatures."

In addition, Angie is the world's FIRST iPad Caricature artist, drawing live at the iPad world premiere on April 3, 2010. Our YouTube videos on the iPad have, combined, over 100,000 views!

Are You Now Wondering How Many Per Hour?

When you hire an artist, do you want to give your guests the same Mr. Potato Head eyes, noses, and ears, or do you want fresh, creative designs that capture their personalities and be shared proudly with friends?

Let's be honest, if you're shopping around only for speed, there are many who can herd them past their pen and paper at over 18 faces an hour. But if you want people to continue talking about their caricature gifts the next day, we pride ourselves on quality. Oh, and our tradeoff for focusing on details? We average 12-15 per hour.

Innovation at Great Rates

Do you know of any other digital artist that gets such FUN and EMOTIONAL results as Angie? Do you know of any other digital artist who has innovated as we have at Digital Blacksmiths?

At rates that start at just $175 per hour, having Angie entertain at your event won't break the bank.

If you've come to our site via a search engine or link, that's awesome, as this tells us that you really want something exciting and memorable for your upcoming event. And this is a wicked cool thing, because it means you really want your event to rock. So now that you're here, you can be more successful.
