Sam was a total hit!

Everyone loved him and loved watching him do his art. We set him up in a place where people could watch him and the people being drawn. Everyone loved it so much, we had to extend him by another hour and a half, and he was so generous to stay longer.

Sam was very professional and my guests loved him.

I was looking for a more fashion forward caricature artist and not the traditional style big head funny looking characters (not that it's a bad thing, but it wasn't what I wanted for my event). The drawings came out beautiful and my guests loved their drawings. We were impressed at how fast he was able to capture so many people in a given amount of time.

Best wedding idea to date!!

We met Sam at a resident event at our apartment building over a year ago. I immediately reached out and inquired about him drawing guests at our wedding! He is so talented, and exudes love and happiness. He truly loved what he does and his art. Having him at our wedding reception was the biggest surprise for our guest and everyone loved him. Thank you so much for the most memorable evening.

Entertainment for adult Birthday Party

Sam was great, professional, fun, and his art was so fun. It really brought everyone together and caused people who didn't know each other to mingle and have a good time. Sam provided Caricature renderings of our guests - he even customized some with requests such as "make me a 49 Niners cheerleader". Many guests requested contact information for him. Thanks Sam!

About

I moved to Texas about seven years ago from New York. I worked for many years up there drawing in Times Square and selling paintings to multiple galleries. I wanted a slower pace lifestyle so I decided to move to Texas. Since then, I have worked a multitude of companies including the Dallas Child Magazine, First Baptist Church in Irving, ArtaRama, and Brookhaven College. I charge by hour and require a minimum of two hours per event. I ask that you give at least a two week in advance notice, but sometimes there are last minute cancellations. A contract is developed and agreed upon before the event and a deposit is required for a large event or one that is more than three hours.
