Mikey showed up early and was an absolute delight to work with. He delighted and handled the large crowd professionally. We absolutely will book him again for our caricaturist needs in the future.

January 3, 2018Best Party Favor Ever
Mikey was the best part of our party! He captured people so well and everyone loved it, so very entertaining! As he did them we hung them along the wall so it ended up being a really cool art show as well. Everyone also greatly appreciated having a fabulous personal memento to take home. It was fun to watch and fun to see yourself and friends in Caricature! Most people will be framing theirs, I know I am!

May 28, 2017Exceeded my expectations!!!!
You need Mikey J at your event!!! I hired Mikey for my sons army/camo themed 10th bday party on a Monday. Mikey is very professional, talented and I appreciated the quick and effective communication. Mikey came early to set up his working area and even had a sign that said the time he was there from. Mikey also made the caricatures army related to go along with the theme :) I am very impressed with Mikey.
Mikey is amazing! Everyone enjoyed him and our event was a success because of him. Thank you so much Mikey!

November 14, 2025Absolutely Brilliant Artist
Mikey showed up early to my birthday party and was completely prepared. My guest were gushing over their caracatures and they will treasure them forever, as will I. It was a pleasure to have Mikey as the featured artist of the night and I would reach out to hire him again in the future. Thank you Mikey for making my birthday truly memorable!
