Adam Pate is the creator of the Speed Sketchers Caricature concept and is widely recognized as one of the fastest caricature artists in the world. For nearly a decade, he has amazed guests at events nationwide by creating personalized caricatures in approximately one minute per person.
His high-energy, interactive performances are a crowd favorite, with the ability to entertain and sketch up to 200 guests during a three-hour event. To make the experience even more exciting, Adam brings a large digital timer that lets guests watch the clock as they challenge his speed and cheer him on while each caricature comes to life in real time.
As the popularity of Speed Sketch Caricatures has continued to grow, Adam has personally recruited and trained a team of exceptional artists who deliver the same fast-paced, engaging, and high-quality experience. Whether stationed at a designated drawing area or strolling throughout an event, each Speed Sketch artist can typically create caricatures for 140–180 guests during a three-hour engagement, making Speed Sketch Caricatures one of the highest-capacity entertainment options available for large events.

What our clients have to say...
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for helping us for this event. Adam was absolutely amazing and it was a wonderful three hours, we couldn't have asked for anyone better!
- University of Notre Dame
Our campus LOVED having BeeJay – it worked really well to have her drawing in our coffee shop and food court areas, and I think she had a line the entire time! She was fantastic to work with – we are already talking about bringing her back in the fall!
- Bemidji State University
The event went amazing with Beejay. It practically ran itself and she was great. Very easy to talk to and I think all the students really enjoyed her! I know I enjoyed her. She had a steady line for her and everyone enjoyed the little homework break. Thank you for all you did to help put on this amazing event.
- South Dakota State University
We LOVED him!! He was so nice, funny, and I loved how he visited around the building to approach people. Very different than other novelties I have had in the past where they just wait for someone to come to them. He even received compliments from our administration. He’s going to be our go-to caricature artist from now on!
- Tennessee Wesleyan University
Adam is always a pleasure to work with. After arriving early to set up, he was able to start ahead of schedule and then worked non-stop. He went live on Facebook to increase attendance and the availability of quick caricatures was quite the "draw" in the University Center that day. Thanks again to Adam, Speed Sketchers, and The College Agency for a fun event!
- Southeast Missouri State University
Adam was GREAT!! Really worked the crowd and he got more to participate than we thought. We will definitely get him again.
- Bismarck State University
BeeJay was AMAZING!! The students LOVED her! She was so quick and the drawings that she produced were GREAT! She was awesome with requests to add “extra” things to drawings (she added a pick to someone’s hair when he forgot his in his dorm room). She was funny, fast, and we would LOVE to bring her back sometime!
- McCook Community College
BeeJay and John were a pleasure to work with. They were such a great addition to our event! Many students and community members were able to leave with a caricature - a huge thank you to them for their strong work ethics and warm personalities!
