"WE ARE ALL CARICATURES JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN!" -Ernest Posey
Ernest is one of Chicago's fastest and funniest Caricature Artists!
His art career began with a boyhood love of comic books and Saturday morning cartoons. Ernest began illustrating and designing in his teens and continued to master his talents upon graduating from Columbia College in Chicago with a B.A. in Advertising Design.
Today Mr. Posey's amazing caricature talents are in high demand by wedding planners, corporate event organizers and anyone seeking high quality, live entertainment.
"I've been entertaining audiences with live caricatures for ten years. Everyone enjoys seeing someone they know sitting in the 'Caricature Hot Seat'. The more the crowd laughs the more curious the subject becomes leading them to ask their fellow guest... "Does it look like me?". Within the short time of a drawing, I create lasting, fun memories." -Ernest Posey 2019
