Palmetto Faces!

Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places. Real People.

Welcome to Palmetto Faces, the gallery side of Palmetto Places — where we celebrate the people behind the stories, the smiles behind the porches, and the personalities that make South Carolina shine. Around here, we don’t just draw pictures; we capture the character that lives behind every grin, squint, and sideways smirk.

From Main Street shopkeepers to backyard Bubba Chefs, from church picnics to shrimp-boat captains, every caricature in our gallery has a story to tell — and we guarantee that most of them are “almost true.” We like to think of this page as a front-row seat to the humor, heart, and humanity of the Palmetto State, documented in caricatures.

The Galleries

Each gallery under this section will highlight a special project or theme — a collection of faces tied to a town, an event, or one of our favorite storytelling adventures. You’ll meet folks from Olar, Allendale, Edisto, and beyond. Some will make you laugh, some might make you think, and all of them will make you proud to call this state home.

And who knows, if you’re in the wrong place at the right time, you just might find your own caricature here on these pages too. It’s all in good fun, and it’s all based on a concept that’s decades old—“Smiling Faces! Beautiful Places!”

Invitation to Fun!

So pull up a chair, pour yourself a little sweet tea, and take your time exploring. The stories behind these smiling faces are as real and colorful as the people themselves — drawn with love, humor, and a good dose of South Carolina sunshine.

Because around here, every face has a story… and every story is waiting to be told.

That’s our story, and we’re sticking to it!
