COVID-19

Let's work together to make your special event both FUN and SAFE!
I'm happy to comply with the CDC's safety standards including wearing a face mask and maintaining a 6 foot minimum separation to your guests.

Top-notch Caricaturist,
Serving Charlotte and The Carolinas

Hi, I'm caricaturist Lonnie Knabel. I provide fun and memorable caricatures for your special event, party, wedding reception or corporate function in Charlotte - and parts of North and South Carolina.

Make Them Smile!

My caricatures capture the likeness with fun and whimsy. And unlike many artists, I don't use giant noses and big chins as a crutch. You might say that my caricatures are "kind" - something your guests will appreciate.

I Take Commissions, Too

Commissioned caricatures are a great way to commemorate and honor someone special in your life! Examples include:

Graduations
Birthdays
Weddings
Anniversaries
Retirement parties
Employee / boss / teammate appreciation
Family gatherings
And more!

Commissioned caricatures make a great gift.
