Cartoony Portraits
Overview
I am new to GigSalad, but for more than a decade I have drawn quality and fun live caricatures for theme parks, companies, and celebrations of all sorts. Cartoons that capture more than features, but personality as well. Lots of laughs are had and my watercolor caricatures are a favorite at events. Be a part of the process and have some Cartoony Portraits drawn at your event.

Our team loved the experience. What truly sets Rory apart is his ability to capture personality, not just features. Every sketch was spot-on, flattering, and filled with humor in the best way. Guests were laughing, taking photos of their drawings, and immediately posting them. It created a buzz that carried throughout the entire event.
He was professional, punctual, efficient, and so easy to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for a unique touch that guests will talk about long after the event ends, Rory is your person.

About
I’ve been drawing caricatures for over 20 years, starting as a kid and turning a lifelong passion into a professional career. After formal art school training, I worked as a live caricature artist at Universal Studios with Lee Harvin Co. from 2008 to 2014. Since then, I’ve continued creating live caricatures at events and venues throughout Southern California.
Over two decades of experience have led me to your next event—bringing high-energy entertainment, quick likeness capture, and a memorable keepsake your guests will love.
