Hi there!
I'm Vanessa J. Thompson!
I am an artist from Columbia, South Carolina, USA.
I currently draw caricatures as commissions based off of client's photographs.
I also provide live entertainment drawing for parties, social gatherings, wedding receptions, mitzvahs, and corporate events.

I have created images for children's story books and coloring books for self-published authors, as well.

I dabble in some writing and have other hobbies like obsessing over anime, dyeing my locs various colors, adorning my hair with cute, quirky accessories, and wearing outrageous costumes!
You can learn more about me here!
Welcome to my website! Feel free to take a look around.
There's no other possible explanation...
I'm just outrageously Vanessa!
I am creating wonderful memories one caricature at a time, and tapping into the world of children's book illustration one project at a time. Let me know how I may assist you!
Caricatures make great gifts for any occasion, whether it be a birthday, graduation, wedding anniversary, boss appreciation day, or anything else under the sun!
I can even draw your pet!
If you are from the Columbia, South Carolina or its immediate surrounding area... Why not add some live entertainment to your next event?!
I draw caricatures for all occasions including, but not limited to: Anniversaries, Birthday Parties (all ages), Company Picnics, Corporate Events, Family Reunions, Bat/Bar Mitzvahs, Graduation Parties, School Functions, Business Grand Openings, Trade Shows, Wedding Receptions... YOU NAME IT!
Bonus: If your event has a theme, I will do my best to dress to match it! Customized paper also available for additional cost.
Allow me to bring your stories to life visually through custom, vibrant illustrations filled to the brim with color!
My works are created traditionally in mixed media including, but not limited to: watercolor, acrylic, graphite, colored pencils, markers, crayons, collage, and edited in Adobe Photoshop.

Keep up with more current announcements and updates by following me on social media. I try to post regularly after each caricature gig. My posts include caricature drawings, video reactions of people receiving their cartoon portraits, photos of my craftiness while creating customized accessories for my festive fits. I tend to dress in costumes pretty often. I love having unique on my head for each holiday. It brings smiles to people's faces. New sights to see as they take home a physical memory (their caricature drawing). I love my job! There are so many ways I am able to express my creativity.
Thanks for visiting!
I hope to see you again soon!
