Orshi
Based in Darwin
About this act
A caricature stand is one of the few things at an event that guests take home with them. This one covers Darwin and the Top End: singles, couples or a small group on the one page, roughly five minutes a drawing, at A4 or A3 in black and white or in colour if you'd like the extra minutes spent. Guests keep theirs in a clear sleeve. Orshi arrives 15 to 20 minutes ahead, then either works from a set spot or roams. The needs are modest. Three chairs, good light indoors, some shade or a marquee outdoors, and a lamp for evening work, most of which can be brought along. Artwork can also be commissioned before the day: welcome posters, invitations, seating cards, or a portrait as a gift, printed on paper or a shirt or a mug.
