Partoons: Caricatures by Don Landgren Jr.

About

Caricatures by Don Landgren's PARTOONS is a great entertainment idea for any corporate or private event, combining a unique show with a one-of-a-kind souvenir. Hire me to entertain your guests at your next Birthday Party, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Graduation, Quinceañera, Christmas Party, Corporate Function or anywhere people gather to have a good time.

I set up my easel so your guests can gather and watch as the caricatures are drawn. Watching the creative process adds a fun level of entertainment as everyone jokes laughs and comments. The entertainment combined with the keepsake caricature leaves your guests with a great memory and a great memento from your party.

I can draw 15 to 18 B&W single heads and bodies and 10-14 color single heads and bodies per hour.

I've been entertaining guests at parties from my Worcester area base since 1998, and travel in a radius that covers Massachusetts (including Boston, Framingham, and Springfield) to New Hampshire to Rhode Island and Connecticut.

When I'm not sketching at parties, I also draw award-winning cartoons for "TelegramTowns", a seven-edition weekly newspaper that covers 28 central Massachusetts towns. I have also won over 50 awards from various news organization for my current work for the "Worcester Telegram & Gazette" and my past work for "The [Holden] Landmark".

I am a member of the National Cartoonist Society (NCS), Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) and the International Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA).

My cartoons have been published around the the United States and Iceland in many newspapers and magazines and in the yearly book series, "Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year."
