Bernard was great! He was prompt, flexible, friendly and everyone had a great time getting their photos drawn. Definitely a highlight at the wedding.

Honestly I could not be more happier. Bernard brought such great joy to our wedding, especially to our guests. He is talented, had great energy and fast. Most of our guests got to bring home their pictures as wedding favors. I highly recommend Bernard to your event. Thank you for being a great addition to our wedding :)

Bernard was fantastic to work with! Not only was he punctual and pleasant, he had a smile on his face the entire time he was at our event. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does (and his drawings are fabulous). He and his craft were a big hit at our event, and we will definitely book him again!

What to expect
All I need is about a 5‘ x 5‘ space and three chairs. Good lighting is helpful but not a must I always bring lighting. And I always do bring three chairs just in case.
About
I first got started doing Caricatures when I answered an ad in the newspaper in 1999 that went “Artist wanted amusement park“ at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey… sounded good to me as I was living with my parents delivering pizza with an art degree, I just needed anything in the arts. That was the most amazing summer of my life, getting paid to draw for eight hours a day 40 hours a week, very transformative!
And since then, I’ve done thousands of events, weddings, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, corporate events, grand openings, KinderCare, elder care, fisherman’s wharf in San Francisco, Camden yards in Baltimore and the list goes on and on…Now I’ve been living in Portland, Oregon since 2013. And I’ve been a full-time Caricatures Artist since 2022. I feel so very lucky and grateful to have obtained a lifelong dream of making a living by making people smile and laugh with my talent.
Additional booking notes
I always bring battery powered lighting, just in case I do not need any power
