About
Caricatures can go from being a mere party favor to a great HIT at events like parties, wedding receptions, bar and bat mitzvahs, school and college events, festivals and fairs when the artists go beyond just being "personable." Pete and Dian Wagner have a strong reputation as true entertainers, both in the way they draw and the way they work the crowd. Speed is essential for this to work really well, and it is no exaggeration to quote the Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Robert T. Smith when he dubbed them "The Fastest Drawers in the Midwest!" Pete and Dian are popular with all ages, from babies to preschoolers to K-12 school agers to high schools to college and all the way up to senior living centers. They are a bit busy during the summer with fairs and festivals, so cannot always answer queries quickly between mid-June and early September, but have a fair amount of availability between mid-September and mid-June. Whenever your date, please don't hesitate to inquire about it!
Pete Wagner is a well-known cartoonist whose caricatures and cartoons have been published in more than 300 newspapers and magazines, including TIME, the Washington Post, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Milwaukee Journal and the Chicago Sun-Times. Pete won the Society Professional Journalists national award in 1976 and regional awards six consecutive years in the 1980s and early '90s as "Best Cartoonist," and many other awards including a Fischetti Cartoon national award. (ALL AWARDS WON based strictly on cartoons submitted, no personal contact with juries.) Pete appeared weekly on KMSP-TV's morning news show drawing caricatures and cartoons live on the air throughout the show in 2004, performed one-man comedy shows around the country, at Dudley Riggs Theater and as a regular at Scott Hansen's Comedy Gallery in the 1970s-1990s, and was on the staffs of City Pages, the Minnesota Daily, the Mpls Observer and other newspapers from the early 1970s through the early 2000s.
