Hired this artist for a party we threw and they were an absolute hit. What really set them apart was how well they worked the room — they had a natural energy that kept guests engaged and laughing the whole time. Everyone wanted their turn, and the caricatures themselves were great. Would definitely book again for a future event.

August 4, 2025Would Absolutely Recommend!
We hosted a yappy hour event at The Hungry Hound and Dan was there to provide caricatures of the dogs! Our customers loved being able to take home a sketch of their pups.
Dan was excellent to work with -Top notch communication leading up to the event, showed up early, and stayed until the last dog's picture was drawn!

About
Hi! My name is Dan.
I have been working as a professional artist since 2017. At the age of 19, I began working as a sketch artist at comic shop events and small toy and comic conventions.
Now, over seven years later, I have catered to hundreds of private and corporate clients throughout the tri state area. I am fully self taught. I did not go to an art school. I also never trained at theme parks. Instead, I used books and videos to learn the beautiful art of caricature.
I never expected to become a caricaturist. Now that I have done this for over half a decade I can’t imagine doing anything else. I love my job.
Additional booking notes
I supply a small portable set up. If the event is inside, I need a well lit area to set up and draw at. If the event is outside, I need to be placed in a well shaded area. The glare of the sun can affect my ability to draw my portraits.
