Excellent Detail

Don was very professional and helpful at our wedding. A great addition to our special day. Takes about 3-5 mins per photo and is very detailed. Thanks for everything El Paso Don!

A*M*A*Z*I*N*G Work

Cant say enough about Don and his hilarious, fun, but recognizable caricatures he did for our company party. Don was great to work with...very professional, personable, showed up on time, and communicated well prior to the event. He had a very long line all night long and everyone was excited to see their artwork. We will be hiring Don for all of our events.

Best decision we made!

We were putting on a fall festival and we needed a little something extra. Don was professional, courteous, and on time! He set up his station quickly and the line to see him went out the door. He really added that something special and I'm glad we hired him!

Guests loved their Caricature!

Overall, a great add to our wedding! Guests enjoyed their caricatures, however, I did hear they were each taking a bit long. I was the bride and chose to opt out because I didn't want to be away from the party too long. Also, rather than guests lining up, we implemented a number system. That seemed to help allow guests to enjoy the festivities without being held up in line. We had 64 guests and I would guess about 25 drawings were done within the four hours.

Our event was a success thanks to Don!

It was a pleasure working with Don Evenson at our trade show in Phoenix! This was a large corporate event (trade show) with a lot of moving pieces and last minute changes. Don was flexible and responsive throughout the planning process. Don mingled well with our crowd and made sure all felt welcome to the booth. The event was a great success due in large part to Don’s involvement. Lastly, I found his pricing to be competitive and he came recommended to me by the Catering Manager the at hosting hotel. Would highly recommend!

I remember him - he's great!

We had Don come do his thing for a birthday party for our daughter and about 30 of her friends. Don was exceptional and the kids couldn't wait for their turn for Don to draw them. Definitely someone we will want to come back for the next party we have.

What to Expect

People hang around to watch! Most of my clients tell me afterwards that I was the life of the party!
I show up on time, come prepared and act and dress in a professional manner. I do have fun
while I am drawing the guests I get a big smile on my face and that builds the anticipation for the
people I am drawing. They can't wait to see it!

About

I am a Caricature Artist located in the Phoenix Metro and surrounding cities area. I am also a Portrait Artist which is why I am able to capture the likeness of the person or persons I am drawing so well. This is a talent that I have had since I was a very young man ( started drawing at 5 years old.) Ala Natural - without any formal training.I draw at Birthday Parties, Wedding Receptions, Corporate Events, and Fairs and Festivals. always show up on time and well groomed and professional. I draw between 12 and 15 faces per hour in black and white, head and shoulders with detail and the persons name. Color is 8-10 faces per hour with detail and the persons name. With two or less subjects I draw on card stock vellum paper 11"x14" which is a standard size for a frame. For 3 or more subjects I draw on either 11"x17" or 12"x16". These are all standard sizes for a frame with 11"x14" a bit more common. After I complete the picture I place the picture in a clear plastic sleeve for it's protection.
I have chairs, a table, and a sample display board. For festivals or fairs I do have 10'x10' Canopy with a very nice Caricatures banner.

Additional Booking Notes

Good lighting is a must. This is something clients have a tendency to overlook. If I am inside or outside and it is dark, I would need to be set up near an electrical outlet in order to plug in lights but if it is possible to set me up in an area that already has decent lighting. Prefer not to be set up near loud speakers. I can't hear what the guests are saying. I have chairs but if the place where I am setting up at already has chairs that works for me. Lighting is the most important thing and if it is outside during the day I would need to be set up under some shade so I do not have the direct sunlight shining down on my bright white paper. That can be very blinding!
