A True Gem

John and his caricatures were one of the highlights of my wedding reception! His chairs were full all night with my friends and family wanting a caricature to remember the night. He was funny and is a lovely human. I highly recommend him for events as his art makes the the perfect keepsake.

Fun for the whole family

Overall, I was impressed with John's work.
The only minor things that were noted were that we would have liked John to have dressed more professionally (as this was a more formal event) and let us know that he would require a tip jar beforehand.
Other than that, we were very impressed! Great pictures! All guests were eager to show off their pictures. All guests were all smiles after getting their pictures drawn. All positive comments from the guests. Overall, I think he added something special to our wedding reception.
Also, he was early. He was a great communicator! He was quick to answer emails and phone calls.
Aside from the minor things, I would commission his services again.

About

John Calvin Whitfield was born August 4, 1967 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
He has been an artist for as long as he can remember. His creative outlook started early in life. John was stricken with Cerebral Palsy at birth. As a child he was also plagued with horrible cold induced allergies. Many times John found himself inside alone. For most children this reality would be “a hard pill to swallow”. But, John Whitfield picked up an art pencil and found his calling.

In his formative years John continued to use art as an outlet. He would work heartbreaks, and hard luck struggles out of his system through the countless hours spent at the drawing board. His art had become a therapy

After receiving a Bachelor or Art degree from the University of Oklahoma. John unleashed his unique creative perspective. Today, John Calvin Whitfield defines himself as an artist. He makes a comfortable living producing his work for a number of clients. He simply thinks: No one can tell you who you are. That is your decision. I choose laughter over pain.
