Personalized backgrounds make each sketch unique for your occasion!
Multiple faces in one sketch? No problem!
The favorite part of what I do - capturing each smile on paper.
From jewelry to hairstyle, each detail gets SKETCHED.
You don't need to be human to get your caricature done!
Overview
YOU are my Masterpiece! Classic Black & White Caricatures average 10 faces per hour and are captured on 11” x 14” high quality paper, each contained within a protective sleeve for safe transportation to the frame. Each guest I chat with to discover their personality and capture it on paper.

November 24, 2025Caricatures That Made The Night Unforgettable!
We absolutely LOVED having him at our holiday party! Our staff couldn't stop talking about how fun and unique the caricatures were, and it was such a special touch for everyone to have something personal to take home with them. He was incredible accommodating and went above and beyond for us, even staying about 45 minutes later than planned so everyone had the chance to get one. His talent, professionalism, and kindness made a huge impact, and we're so grateful he helped make our event unforgettable. Highly highly recommend!!

About
My story began on January 9th, 1998, when Isaih Hessling was born in Dubuque, Iowa. Early in my youth I won state art contests during my formative years of schooling in southwest Wisconsin. In May of 2021, I sketched my first caricature event. Within four years, I opened caricature studios in Iowa and Illinois, formulated curriculums as an Artist-In-Residence, and established myself as an international artist in Europe. I look forward to you being a part of my story!
