EventToons Inc. is devoted to providing live digital caricature services to corporate customers. It was founded in 2010 by Doug Shannon, a San Francisco Bay Area caricature artist of 25 years, legendary for his deadly accurate caricatures and entertaining repartee. Doug and his crew of associate artists, each carefully chosen for their exceptional talent and people skills, use state of the art technology to deliver a unique blend of art and marketing that has taken the trade show and corporate event world by storm.
EventToons artists leave their French easels and chalks at home, arriving at your venue with state of the art equipment your guests and clients have likely never seen in action. The artists draw on tripod-mounted digital tablets with large 32" LED screens mounted in portrait mode, displaying every stroke of the stylus, giving onlookers an intimate inside view of the artistic process. Caricatures are completed confidently and quickly, so that a vivid full color print is in the hand of the subject, start-to-finish, in as little as five minutes.
Although caricature is an art, EventToons is first and formost a marketing company. Your logo and/or message is prominent at every step of the process, from the external display to the final print. With badge holder and clips added, you can watch your clients wearing their caricatures around the venue, acting as walking billboards for your brand.
At your corporate event or trade show, your guest and clients are your most important responsibilty, and EventToons artists share in that responsibilty whole heartedly. EventToons caricatures are never insulting or offensive. Doug's approach is that a caricature is a "toon-over", a way to celebrate our individual differences and uniqueness, not to mock them. For that reason, there are rarely complaints, in fact you may have to reassure a person that yes, you do look that good!
And the fun doesn't stop after the event. Digital caricatures can be downloaded at the EventToon site, where they can be used for social networking, making more prints, even on custom t-shirts and coffee mugs! It isn't uncommon for Doug to run into someone at a trade show who shows him a caricature he'd drawn two years before at another show, still on their cellphone.
Wherever your event, show or conference will be located, EventToons can be there. With 50 trade shows and conferences in 2011 alone, EvenToons artists have worked nearly every major city in the country. Whether it is a three day conference in Atlanta with Doug, or a holiday party for Google in San Francisco with six artists, clients know that the EventToons unique blend of talent, experience and technology guarantee a memorable occasion!
