About the artist
From Boston’s market stalls to the Sliema seafront.
Stan Sykes has spent his career drawing crowds — literally. For years he worked out of Massachusetts as PlanetSykes Art Studio, sketching caricatures for the queue at Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace, airbrushing live at events, hand-painting collectible figures and lettering signs for local businesses.
Today the studio is based in Sliema, Malta, taking commissions, live event bookings and paint parties across the islands — and shipping finished pieces anywhere in the world.
Live caricatures
Weddings, corporate events, markets and parties. Guests sit for a few minutes and leave with a hand-drawn keepsake.
Commissions
Portraits, illustrations, tattoo designs and painted figures made to order — from a single gift to a full series.
Airbrush & custom paint
Motorcycles, helmets, apparel and one-off objects. If it holds paint, it can be a canvas.
Signs & branding
Shopfronts, vehicle graphics, posters and window work for businesses that want to stand out on the street.
Paint parties
Relaxed, guided painting sessions for teams, schools, hen parties and private groups. All materials included.
