I hired the caricature artist for a fun themed Wonka wedding and everybody loved it! They were great people to work with and fair priced when comparing to other artists I found. The artist is very talented! He even did a "special" one for my husband and I to display at the wedding and it was so much better than I could have imagined.

Biography
I have been creating art professionally for over 20 years and drawing even longer than that. I began drawing at age two, one morning at breakfast I drew a cow that I saw on the milk carton. Ever since that moment I have worked on my craft to make it what it is today. At age 15 I sold my first caricature, it was a piece I did of The Three Stooges and I sold it for $30. I knew I had to do this as my career. In my late teens and throughout my 20s I took up the art of portraiture. However, it was always cartooning and caricature that has always been my favorite. I love the way I can take someone and exaggerate their features to see how far I can stretch them Many influences also led me to the love of cartooning and caricature. -Bil
I love to paint and making people happy. By face painting I get to do both. I get to create art on people and make them happy. I have been painting for a few years and have the ability to create most anything-Becky

I grew up reading MAD Magazine. The art of Sam Viviano, Mort Drucker and Jack Davis was always a favorite of mine. I was also drawn to the early Hollywood caricatures done by T. Hee for the Warner Brothers and Disney cartoons in the 30s and 40s. Ed Benedict also was someone I drew inspiration from. The characters from the Flintstones and others he that he deigned for Hanna-Barbera in the 50s and 60s were some of my all time favorite designs.
