Why Dan [al-mahr-yay]?
He's [pruh-fesh-uh-nl]
21+ years of Caricature, Illustration and Sculpture. A few additional years of silliness. He'll get the job done and make you laugh.
He's [tal-uhn-tid]
His award-winning black and white shaded technique will amaze you. It's not just a cartoon, it's a piece of art.
He's good with [feys-ez].
If you got one, he can draw it. The likeness is undeniable. Just ask the ISCA**. Or his mother.

June 26, 2012What a fun experience! I was extremely impressed with the quality of Dan's work in the amount of time it takes him to produce it. Definitely a more sophisticated option than your standard caricature. At the same time Dan is very down to earth and friendly. We felt very comfortable welcoming him into our home for our party. We were very pleased with our choice to hire Dan and would HIGHLY recommend him.

June 26, 2012Our family was very impressed with artist Dan Almariei. He was not only an amazing talent, but brought laughs and spirit to the party that went beyond our expectations. He showed skill and patience with all age groups and we plan on booking him at the next family gathering. I would openly recommend him for any occasion and be prepared for souring talent and an all around good character. 5 STARS!!

June 25, 2012I thought Dan was fantastic. I'm a graphic designer for a living, and I often hire illustrators for jobs. He is on par with many of the finest illustrators I've used for advertising clients. His drawings are amazing and a number of people at the party I hired him for immediately posted their pictures on facebook! (some even as their profile pics!) His illustrations are some of the best caricatures I've ever seen and he's really fast. He seemed to be the biggest draw of all the entertainment at the party, even though we had a lot of other stuff going on. No one wanted to leave without one of his pictures. (including me!) I would totally hire Dan again and can't say enough good things about him.

He's [ek-uh-nom-i-kuhl]
Within minutes, he can produce a high-quality, shaded caricature. Not just a sketch, but a portrait-quality original. That means you get more for your money. You do the math.

His award-winning black and white shaded technique* will amaze you. It's not just a cartoon, it's a piece of art. And you now you want it.

Or his mother.
He's [in-ter-nash-uh-nlee] recognized.
He spent his last 20 years in Europe where he was invited to over 20 international festivals, he's been published in 5 countries and won a bunch of awards in Italy, France, Ireland, Spain and Romania. He also won a few awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, but you know, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas***.
You'll love him. [seer-ee-uh s-lee].
