WHERE DO YOU NORMALLY SET UP ?
I PREFER TO STAY IN ONE SPOT AND ALLOW THE VICTIMS (I MEAN CUSTOMERS) TO COME TO ME AS THIS IS QUICKER ALTHOUGH I CAN WANDER AMONGST GUESTS IF REQUIRED
I DO NEED A WELL LIT AREA BIG ENOUGH FOR 3 CHAIRS AND A SMALL TABLE FOR BEST RESULTS.
WHEREVER POSSIBLE I SIT WITH MY BACK TO THE CUSTOMERS AS PART OF THE ENTERTAINMENT IS FOR OTHERS TO WATCH THE CARICATURES BEING DRAWN (USUALLY WITH SUITABLE COMMENTS THROWN IN)
DO YOU EVER OFFEND THE RECIPIENTS ?
THE CARICATURES THEMSELVES ARE DESIGNED TO BE AMUSING AND NOT OFFENSIVE ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE A FINE LINE
