ABOUT
HI, IβM PHIL BOWLER,
Iβm the owner and artist of Melbourne Caricatures, as well as an all-round nice guy!
Itβs a long story, but my journey into the exciting world of caricatures began back in 1993 when I left Melbourne for Spain on my first solo travel adventure.
After having trouble holding down a job on my travels, my Uncle came to my rescue and hired me to assist him with his caricature business. My first job was to stand on the side of the footpath and use my English skills to bring in the customers. After a few months I not only fell in love with caricature but found that I had a real talent for it!
There have been many twists and turns in the story, but I finally decided in 2015, at the age of 42, to take the plunge and become a live caricature artist in Melbourne. It's the best decision I ever made and I love putting a smile on people's faces!
Contact me today and I will guarantee laughter and entertainment at your next function!

A caricature is essentially a portrait which exaggerates the key features of a person. It is a humorous portrait that maintains the personβs recognisability.
I can draw a face in 4 to 5 minutes. That’s up to 20 caricatures per hour.
Yes, I have done live drawings of some famous faces – including AFL Players like Shane Crawford. I have been on TV. I even drew Adele at a private function in Portsea in 2017.
I am based in Melbourne and will travel anywhere in Melbourne, the rest of Victoria, as well as interstate.
I do caricatures for lots of different events. These include Weddings, Birthday Parties, Christmas Parties, Bar Mitzvahs, Lunar New Year Celebrations, Corporate Events, Family Days, Graduation Parties, Trade Shows, Conferences, Tertiary Events and many more!Β
Just give me a call on 0402 303 615 or send an email and I will get back to you as quick as I can.
I do both! Paper caricatures are much quicker and therefore more people will be drawn. Best for weddings, parties and any event where speed and volume are important. Digital ones are slower and more suitable for tech events and trade shows where marketing a specific product or service is the main focus.
Absolutely! I love getting out among the crowd, mingling with guests and drawing caricatures as I go. I bring the fun directly to your guests, creating plenty of laughs and interaction throughout your event.
I’ve been entertaining crowds across Melbourne for over 10 years, drawing caricatures at all kinds of events, from weddings and birthday parties to corporate functions and festivals.
