Great memories

2 years ago my now husband and I were dating. Bruce suggested that we should get married one day and therefore drew an engagement ring on our caricature. 2 days ago my husband and I got married. Our event would not have been the same without Bruce. All my guests had fun.

Absolutely Outstanding

Bruce was absolutely fantastic. Super courteous, showed up on time, very professional and a great caricaturist. Both adults and kids at the party had a blast getting drawn and were quick to share Bruce's work with everyone else when he finished. Can't recommend Bruce's services enough. Definite 5 stars.

Wonderful to work with!

I booked Bruce for my daughters birthday and let me just say he is such a pleasure to work with. From the beginning to the end he was extremely professional and compassionate. He worked well with the kiddos (ages 5-14) along with the adults at our party. He even drew a few portraits with relatives and their dogs. He was great! Would definitely book with him again.

Great Artist!

We booked Bruce last minute for my daughter’s first birthday. He arrived early and got right to work. He made sure to snap a quick picture of me, my husband, and our daughter at the very beginning. I think he knew we’d be busy hosting and wouldn’t have time to sit down for a drawing. He is quick and the drawings looked great. Great addition to the party that everyone loved. Communication was clear throughout the whole process. At the end, he made sure to jot down our address so he could mail us our picture. Highly recommend!
