October 13, 2026A wonderful addition to the wedding experience.
AJ was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. During the planning process, he was very accommodating and did everything he could to work with our arrangements. He arrived on time and was kept busy throughout the entire event! Our guests absolutely loved his caricatures, and he was a wonderful addition to our wedding celebration. We would definitely recommend him!

Aj was a dream to have at our event. He made sure everyone was taken care of and did it with a smile on his face. He was a keystone of our event and we are so thankful that he partnered with us for it. We are looking forward to working with him again for future events.

About
Hi, I'm AJ. I'm a Live Events Caricature Artist based on Kitchener, Ontario. I have been working as a live artist since the beginning of 2024, and have been drawing Caricatures in some capacity for the last 20 years. I have a background in Animation, graduating from Sheridan College's BAA Animation program in 2009. I've worked in the Toronto Animation industry for 13 years as a 2D Layout artist, storyboard cleanup and revisionist, and Designer. I love the Art of Caricature and I always let my clients know that I have just as much fun drawing them as they do! I've worked events for many big name clients including Tim Hortons, TD Bank, The Jamaal Magloire Foundation, CAMH, The Guelph Humane Society, and The Property Brothers.
Additional booking notes
My setup requirements are just a small table, 2-3 chairs, and adequate shade for outdoor events for the comfort of both the artist and the subject.
