Overview

VIRTUAL PARTY CARICATURES NOW AVAILABLE: While social distancing, every special occasion deserves a celebration and virtual parties make it possible! All you’ll need is a device like a laptop, desktop, or tablet with Zoom installed or if it’s an Apple product, I can use Facetime as well.

How it works is that each person will show me their face for a few minutes as I draw them on an iPad. They can see me and I’ll chat with them while I’m drawing. After finishing the drawing I’ll show them their fun caricature.

After the event, I’ll upload the drawings so guests can download their caricatures.

So, that’s how it works. Let me know if you have any questions!

Wedding Reception

Lou was such a hit at our wedding reception!! There was a line of people waiting to get their drawing done by him all evening. We had other things at our reception such as; a photo booth, darts, shuffle board, but to be completely honest, Lou was the highlight event. Everyone couldn’t wait to have their drawings done! In addition to that, he was the nicest guy to work with. Everyone loved his drawings and kept complimenting on how nice and personable he was. Having him at our reception was so much fun. He is very talented artist and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking for a caricature artist!

Talent!

Lou is wonderful!
Our wedding day was so special with your caricatures of so many friends and family and us. We loved having your talent and personality with us on our big day.
Guests had a wonderful time sitting for Lou's artwork and there were a lot of compliments we heard afterward. Lou needed almost nothing to set up and was off to the races with his easel and chairs in no time. I don't think he got a break at all as everyone was so thrilled to come see him. We had to hold the chairs hostage for him to get a chance to pee! (TMI?)
Anyway, you won't be disappointed in Lou's talent and sweet disposition!

Lou was great!

Lou was early, interactive, and made sure to check out with me (Event Planner) before leaving the event. He was a HUGE hit with both adults and kids alike at our 200 attendee party, sometimes drawing up to 3+ at a time, and we would be more than happy to host him again

A true delight!

Lou is amazing! We hired him for a company party of 125 including children ages 2 and up. He is super fun to be around and great with all ages. His art is fun and quite wonderful, plus the attention to detail on adding our company logo and party theme to his drawing paper was pure perfection! Thank you Lou we will absolutely hire you again!

Outstanding wedding entertainment!

I hired Lou for my wedding a couple weeks ago and it was the #1 hit! I still have people talking about how fun it was and what a good idea it was. He was so personable, kind and funny. Everyone really enjoyed him. He is also super talented which is important :) He made a costume logo for our wedding so people will always have a cute souvenir to remember our wedding by. I would HIGHLY recommend for your wedding or party. Its 100% worth it and you will not regret it.

I can not thank you enough Lou for helping make our day absolutely perfect!

Lou did a fantastic job!

Lou was outstanding at my 65th birthday party. Everyone loved him. He even stayed longer because guests were still in line when it was time for him to leave, and he didn't want to disappoint anyone. He was on time, friendly, and connected with my guests. Thanks Lou, for helping to make my celebration special..

ABOUT LOU'S CARICATURE STYLE
People are often scared that Lou will exaggerate certain features. That's not what he does at all.

Over the years, he's refined his technique to simplify features, creating flattering likenesses that make people look their best.

He loves to entertain people with his talent and continues his dedication towards crafting quality caricatures, one face at a time.
