About the Arteest!

Chris Melton
Colorado transplant and legendary artist (I may have made that part up), available for hire for parties, weddings, festivals, and anywhere else people are gathering who want to sit down and make uncomfortable eye contact with a total stranger for two to three minutes of their lives. Nothing awkward about it, says
the artist!
Joking aside, live caricature art means something different for everyone and I take great strides in making sure the experience is a positive one. For starters, I try not to take things too seriously. Cartooning is definitely my strong suit and therefore I’m not one to let an opportunity pass without cracking a joke. Even when the time may be inappropriate. It’s not that I’m an a**hole, I don’t think, it’s just that I’m convinced that laughing is the best approach, most of the time. Again, I know when to refrain, maybe at a funeral or when getting arrested. But if I’m in the back of the room and someone other than me cuts one then all bets are off! Not really sure what this has to do with my drawing ability but I think it has something to do with my love of caricature art, comics and cartoons.
Fair warning, I’m pretty cheap and I’ll most likely spend whatever money you give me on beer and stuff that I can grill. If you’re cool with that then give me a call, text or email. You might want to text first since I’m not going to answer your call if I don’t know the number. I know I’m older but I’m Gen X not a Boomer. Boomers answer the phone, I don’t.

Love to hear from you though.
