Let’s face it, if you’re sitting for a caricature drawing, you should expect to have all of your “worst” features pointed out. If your nose is even a tiny bit pointy, you’ll wind up in a witch’s hat stirring a cauldron before you can say, “roast me.” That’s just how caricatures work.
But there’s a duo of street artists in Oahu, Hawaii, who are taking their caricature game to the next level. Aaron and Saemee are the artists behind Caricature Party, and they can be found on Waikiki Beach making tourists feel absolutely terrible about their looks, but in the funniest way possible!
Caricature Party shares their creations on TikTok and Instagram, where they’ve gained a huge following with millions of fans. Each video shows the subjects up close, the finished drawing, and the artist revealing their picture to the subjects.
Come for the psychologically damaging portraits; stay for the infectious laughter when people see themselves through these artists’ skewed eyes.
1. “Does therapy come with the price of the portrait??” asked one commenter.
2. This guy laughed so hard, he fell right off the bench.
3. The freckles!
4. This tale of two sisters has been viewed over 10 million times on TikTok. With good reason!
5. If you show up already missing a tooth, set your expectations accordingly.
6. We almost feel sorry for the way they drew this man, but he had a great response!
7. Watch till the end for the surprise!
8. These two seem like a lot of fun!
9. The flu wishes it was as infectious as this couples’ laughter.
10. And finally, a simple story about a tiny woman and her giant husband.
Can you believe people willingly sit for these portraits? It takes a healthy self esteem, but we’re grateful for the good sports who get these done. So we don’t have to.
