Thank you so much for booking me, Viky! I'm glad everyone had such a great time!

Dan was punctual, professional and has next level talent… He added so much to my son’s Bar Mitzvah- he was non-stop making caricatures for almost 5 hours straight. There was a line the whole time and everyone is still talking about his wonderful job over a week after the event. This is the type of memory everyone wants to have- to frame and hang pictures of u and your loved ones… not an airbrush t-shirt…lol… I would highly recommend Dan and I’ll definitely be hiring him for every event to come! Thanks Dan!!!!

Thank you, Amanda!
The time did fly by, and it was very gratifying to see repeat faces, since I'm always worried I won't get to everyone. But everyone who wanted one got one, and quite a few got multiples. And the laughs were my favorite part!
Thanks again for finding me, and I'll see you at the next one!

This is the second time I've hired Dan and again he did not disappoint! My client said he was so fast and the art was amazing. She also said that all of her guests were floored by his talent and were so happy to take home their portrait as a party favor! She was very pleased with how he interacted with the guests as well. I will be hiring Dan again for future events. Thanks Dan! I also tagged you on your instagram account https://www.instagram.com/caricaturedan/

What to Expect
I will show up with plenty of time to set up. All I need is a couple of chairs and decent lighting. A small table is also helpful.
As soon as payment is received, I get right to work. Most events are Black and White headshots, which I can do at a rate of about 20 people per hour.
I use high quality permanent markers and acid free, heavyweight paper, so your guests will be able to enjoy their gifts from you for years.
And lastly, but not leastly, you will get professional and friendly service with a smile, as well as a lot of laughs! I have no problem with crowds leaning in to watch the magic happen, in fact, it's part of the show. They'll love it, and so will you!
About
I started doing caricatures for money in my teens on Venice Beach, just to make some extra cash on the weekends. After Art School, I worked at a major CA theme park, where I was promoted to Lead within 6 months, and became a Trainer. After 5 wonderful years, I left to work in the animation industry, but I never lost my love of doing live events, especially in the off seasons between productions.
Additional Booking Notes
The paper size is 8.5 x 11 cardstock, durable and easily framable!
