March 11, 2026First Day of Business in Vegas!
Ken was a fantastic addition to our event! He is incredibly skilled and has a wonderful way of engaging with people while he works. He sat and drew for two hours straight, providing our guests with beautiful keepsakes that they were excited to take home—some of our team members already have theirs hung up at their desks! He’s professional, kind, and clearly takes pride in his craft. We couldn’t be happier with his work and would absolutely hire him again.

October 29, 2025Amazing!
I hired Ken to come to our physician dinner party, and he was a hit. He was so welcoming, kind to everyone, and is a fantastic artist. Everyone loved the caricatures that they got to go home with. I would definitely recommend him for your event!
