Exceeded expectations!

Bill was fantastic!! We had a super hero theme for my husband’s 60th birthday party and Bill more than delivered. He folded right into the mix like one of us and was truly the hit of the night. His drawings are superb and our guests were stoked to have such a meaningful memento of themselves from the evening. I highly recommend him for any party and would hire him again in a second.

Party guests were impressed!

Bill was a great hit at the party! His talent really shows and you can tell that he loves his craft. I did not tell people there would be a caricature artist at the party, so they were happily lining up to get some time with Bill.

Fabulous addition to our wedding!

Bill was one of the biggest hits at our (surprise) wedding on NYE. He was well presented, his station was tidy, and dedicated to creating special art for us and our guest!

We look back and thought the evening would’ve been missing something without him. Could not recommend him enough for his professionalism and creativity!

The art is the best memory of our special day, and we have enjoyed seeing it displayed at our friends homes.

A Total Crowd-Pleaser—Highlight of the Night

This was the second year I’ve booked Bill for my Friendsgiving, and once again he absolutely delivered. He’s friendly, interacts so well with guests, and keeps the vibe fun and lively the entire time. Everyone loved their caricatures (again!), and it quickly became one of the highlights of the night.
