Art by Vince®

Welcome to the home page for Australian based Artist, Cartoonist, and Caricaturist Vince Steele.

Whether you’re looking for a caricature for someone’s birthday, Christmas, or retirement gift, a personalised logo for your YouTube page, illustrations for your upcoming book or comic, corporate logo design, pet portraits, a cool design for a T-shirt or coffee mug, or a live caricature artist for your next event, anything is possible.

All art is created digitally, and you will then be supplied with the high-res image files, ready for printing, posting online, incorporating into your book, whatever it was originally intended for, with the exception of Live Caricature events, in which case I'll draw directly onto white 200gsm A3 sized paper and hand the finished quick caricature(s) to whoever the victim(s) decide(s) should take custody of the image.

A3 and A4 sized full colour prints on white 200gsm paper can be created in house and sent via Australia Post or your preferred courier service for additional fees and costs, but you’ll get faster, and possibly less expensive results if you take them in to your nearest professional printing outlet.

The fees for my services will vary, depending on the content, and whether it is being licenced for commercial or private use.

Please use the provided headings on this page for further information on various topics.

Art by Vince® Live Event Caricatures

All prices are in Australian dollars.

Want to hire a live caricature artist for your next event? You supply the location, and I'll supply the caricatures.

Hourly rates, with an average turn-around of up to 25 quick black line-art caricatures per hour, supplied on A3 sized card paper. Could be more caricatures per hour, could be less, depending on how many people want to be on each page, how much extra detail they want on the page, and how long it takes for a line up of willing victims to come forward.

Once signed and handed over, the caricature becomes the property of whoever the victim(s) decide should take custody of the finished drawing.

Current rates: $220 per hour, plus return travel and accommodation expenses where necessary.

We can discuss the full cost based on the location of your event.
