Sketch pads, tablet computers, even beer mats – all media in which Amsterdam-based caricaturist Jill Hesketh works when doing her drawings, whether at weddings, private parties…or trade shows.


Around half of Jill’s work is done at events like Intertraffic, where her skills attract an intrigued knot of onlookers as she takes six to seven minutes per drawing.
