Barry Clompus, the artist behind A Better Caricature, has been in the party entertainment industry for over 20 years! Barry has been entertaining at events and private parties since 1990 and continues to delight guests of all ages with his unique and hilarious caricature drawings. Although Barry studied at both Montgomery College-Rockville and The University of Maryland-College Park, he prides himself on being a self-taught artist. At the young age of just three years old, Barry started drawing recognizable cartoon characters. He quickly realized he should use his passion for drawing to bring entertainment and joy to others, which is why later in life Barry became a professional caricature artist. He specializes in capturing a strong likeness of his subjects in a cartoon-style caricature drawing, which takes about 5 minutes to complete! Barry is available for hire for a variety of events from birthdays to weddings, graduation parties, fairs, festivals and more! Rates begin at just $100 – $125 per hour! He is also an illustrator and award-winner watercolorist, who is happy to take commissions!
