Couldn't recommmend more!

Carillo was one of the easiest vendors for our wedding. He was a hit! My partner and friends were a bit skeptical ... a caricature artist at your wedding??... but once they saw his style and friendly approach, there was a line of people waiting to get their portrait drawn! Truly. Could not recommend more!

Everyone LOVED Erik!

We had Erik come to our party / reunion and it was a huge hit! There was a line of people just looking forward to getting their Caricature. He had a great attitude and was very friendly with everyone. We even hired him to do a handful of photo prior to the party to show off his work when he arrived and get people excited to get their own. Totally recommend! We had several guests ask for his info to book for their own future parties too! THANKS ERIK!

Amazing caricaturist!

Erik is simply the best of the best!! From the time he showed up to the event, his professionalism was noticeable. He immediately set up his area and started performing services. He has it all! Great presentation, great personality, outstanding time management per drawing and great drawings. Erik was the highlight of my event. I will definitely hire him again when planning another event.
Thank you Erik!

Carrillo Art Studios was an awesome addition to the gala

I would highly recommend Carrillo Art Studios for your next event. Erik was engaging, friendly, fun and fast! He also made the caricatures fit into our theme, which the event guests are still raving about. He is at the top of my vendor list for fun entertainment.

Fantastic, fun caricature artist!

Erik was absolutely AWESOME at our wedding reception. He had a great personality for interacting with our guests, was super down-to-earth and respectful, but also a lot of fun! We were totally impressed by the quality of his work, and especially by the speed with which he replied to our last-minute Gig request. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Caricature service for corporate event

The service provided for our corporate event was excellent from the very beginning.
Our organization was hosting a staff employee appreciation day and as cochairman of the event I wanted something different for my 80+ colleagues and thought why not have an caricature artists on location.

We were looking for two artists and Erik was able to help. He was so responsive in emails, and he and his colleague were very professional and accommodating. They were both quick and easy to work with.
I highly recommended working with them and I plan to use their service again.

Amazing addition to Yelp's holiday party

Erik and his team were amazing! So talented, very easy to work with and a fun addition to the holiday party. All of the portraits were works of art, and his team had fun with our sports event theme and incorporated sports into the designs somehow. Couldn't have asked for a better group of artists to enhance our holiday party. We will definitely be in touch for future events!

Erik was excellent at our Gender Reveal!

Erik was accommodating to our change of venue 2days prior to the event. He offers personalized printing on the drawing which makes this an even better party favor/art work. Our theme& colors looked great on the corner of the paper. Every guest(approx 30) was satisfied and impressed with how fast, accurate and amusing their portrait was. Some even went twice during his 2hr stay. I would definitely hire him again.

Fantastic Service!

Carrillo Art Studios was a fantastic choice for my wedding event. He was fast with his caricatures, but they were so amazing. He was very professional and went above and beyond in order to meet my needs for my reception. I reached out to him to ask a few questions and I am so glad I did. We ended up getting custom paper and for a "guest book" he designed a caricature of my husband and I that our guests could sign. We will be giving him a call if we ever need a caricature artist.
