I am a Floral Designer and I met Robert, as he was hired to do the massive chalkboard at Ouisie's Table Restaurant in River Oaks, HTX. I was impressed with his art and we exchanged numbers. I hired him for another wedding and he did the massive chalkboard again and was hired on as the Caricature Artist. The guests enjoyed the wedding favor of their caricature. In minutes it's done, on site!! The immediate gratification for the guests and a tangible product in hand is rewarding vs an email. It added an element of fun and sophistication to the wedding reception! Guests will chat with him and learn about his resume as an artist, teacher, and bio/resume! An impressive list of accomplishments and working with many Fortune 500 clients, producing art for them. Now he is betting on himself, and he does an amazing job doing so. Courteous, friendly and funny, he is also personable and professional! I highly recommend and will be referring him to my clients for those extra special touches to make their event Pop!

Thank you so much for this review. It really means a lot. I enjoyed working with you and appreciate the trust you placed in my art. Doing the chalkboard and drawing live caricatures at the wedding was a great experience. I enjoy people seeing the best parts of themselves through the mirror of my artwork. That moment is what keeps me doing this.
Your work as a floral designer set the tone for the whole event, and I’m grateful you shared my name with your clients. I don’t take that support lightly.
I appreciate you, and I look forward to working together again.

Robert participated in our May and June Sunset Markets and delivered outstanding services to our patrons. He communicated consistently and arrived promptly with a great set up! All the drawings were fabulous and every shopper that interacted with Robert remarked on his kindness and charisma!
He will always be invited to our events and I cannot recommend his services enough to others.

Additional booking notes
To ensure a smooth and successful caricature experience, Robert Paul Jr. comes fully prepared with his own art supplies, drawing materials, easel, and an EGO generator for power on the go. While he is completely self-sufficient, providing a few additional elements can help create the best possible experience for guests.
1. Space & Setup:
Although Robert brings all the necessary equipment, a well-lit area is ideal for drawing and guest interaction. Natural or bright indoor lighting works best.
A comfortable workspace with a table and two chairs (one for the artist and one for the guest) helps maintain an inviting setup.
If the event is outdoors, a covered area to protect from direct sunlight or unexpected weather is recommended.
2. Power & Access:
Robert brings his own EGO generator, making him fully independent in terms of power. However, access to an electrical outlet is always appreciated as a backup.
For digital caricature events, a stable Wi-Fi connection is preferred.
3. Event Flow & Accessibility:
Positioning in a high-traffic area allows guests to easily view the artwork in progress.
Sufficient space around the setup is helpful for guest interaction and viewing.
A quiet or moderately quiet environment helps maintain focus and allows for engaging conversations with guests.
4. Materials & Equipment:
Robert brings all essential art supplies, digital drawing tools, and lighting if needed.
Having a small waste bin nearby helps keep the area tidy during the event.
While Robert is prepared to handle all technical needs, providing these additional elements can enhance the overall experience for everyone attending!
