Jared Hogue:  THE caricature artist for Arkansas! 
In addition to studio caricatures, Jared can be booked for a live event and make your event truly memorable!  He works in the metro Little Rock / central Arkansas area, but with a nominal travel fee, he will travel anywhere in the state (and beyond) to help you make your event top-notch!  Don't delay!  Jared is scheduling events now!

EMAIL JARED at caricaturesbyjared@gmail.com!

If you’ve never hired a caricature artist for your birthday party, wedding reception, corporate event, etc...you should!

​I am one of only a handful of caricature artists in Arkansas. Most artists who I have worked with at a large event that required additional artists, have driven in from other states, so they charge an additional travel fee. I totally understand that, but I cover the metro Little Rock and surrounding areas (Benton, Bryant, Cabot, Conway, etc.) with NO travel fee.
​I only require a nominal travel fee for areas outside of central Arkansas!

Email or message now for full details* and to book a date!

* Standard 2 hour minimum for central Arkansas bookings,
​3 to 4 hour minimum for areas farther, depending on location.  This includes areas in Arkansas, and other areas, such as Branson, MO; Memphis, TN; Tulsa, OK; and Shreveport, LA.

Examples of organizations for which Jared has provided studio caricatures and live event caricatures:

Caricatures    

Are you looking for a unique gift for a birthday, anniversary, or any other celebration?  Jared would be happy to help you give the gift of laughter!  Just send him a good photo (or a couple from different angles would be better), and he'll send you a humorous caricature of your friend or loved one.  He can draw them in a more muted style for those wishing to be nice...or he can draw them EXTREME if you're not so worried about being nice!  Look at the example caricature pages to see what options he offers, and send him an email.

Illustrations

Are you an author or publisher looking for a great illustrator?  Or maybe just someone looking for an attention-getting illustration for  business or personal needs?  Check out Jared's illustration site at www.christianillustrator.weebly.com to see some of his work.  Jared illustrates children's books for different authors across the country.  He would be happy to talk with you about your needs and how you can work together.  Send him an email.  Here are some sample images from published children's books and some fun sketches.

** updated ** I don't accept many book illustration commissions due to the time required (I stay very busy with caricature-related work.).  I am happy to discuss new projects, but now only work with authors who allow for a certain amount of illustrator creativity and do not expect images to be exactly as they appear in their own heads.

Commercial work requires a customized quote, as the client is also purchasing the rights for how the image will be used commercially.  ​

​A client who commissioned for a birthday party: 
Jared Hogue is AMAZING!!! I will never be able to thank you enough for the wonderful work you did during our party! Where do I begin? You worked nonstop. Your talent is EXTRAORDINARY!! You made kids AND adults incredibly happy. You're so gifted and kind and engaging. You guarantee a good time will be had by all just by showing up and sharing your talent. I will forever be grateful to you for spending your Saturday night with us celebrating [my husband]'s 40th. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

A recipient of a gift caricature and 3 portrait illustrations from a friend posted (via FB):  "This is one of the most amazing Christmas presents we got.  My sista and her wonderful husband had these Caricatures made for us. I couldn't stop crying when I saw them. How much love can one friend show another?" 
Her "sista's" response:  "I want to thank Jared Hogue for all the pictures...he did a wonderful job for me."

A visitor to the Caricatures ByJared Facebook page:  "These are so good! With some caricatures, you aren't exactly sure who they are, but there is no question about who these are!"
