Perfect for wedding reception

We are so glad we hired Ken! The guests loved taking their keepsakes home with him, and he was so nice and got through everyone quickly.

Awesome!

Everyone loved Kenneth and his art! He was so nice and talented, and had a continuous line all night. It was so cool to provide our guests with a unique keepsake from the wedding. Seriously, he made our night! THANK YOU, Kenneth!

Kenneth was the hit of our 9-year-old's party!

Kenneth was great! 25 children. A little less than 1 1/2 to draw them all, and yet he did it and did it well. The caricatures were fabulous, and I noted that he was sensitive to the children to not embellish upon some of their features, which may have caused hurt feelings. All the drawings included the child performing his/her favorite activity.

Wow! Thank you, thank you, Cher!
It was a fun and well organized event, from beginning to end! One of the highlights was hearing a girl, who was watching, say, 'Hey Mr. You're really good at this!' It doesn't get better than that!

About

FIRST, I wish to say hello AND, thank you stopping by!
I live in the Mountain region of Colorado, which includes Aspen/Vail/Beaver Creek/ Glenwood Springs/ Frisco/Breckenridge and even the Front Range, on occasion! I've worked as a professional Caricaturist since 1984, when I began as a Street Artist during my last year in Boulder. I am also a musician but...that's not the topic, HERE! My largest artistic aspiration is to one day grace the pages of The Yorker with one of my cartoons! THIS probably tells you a lot about my humor!~

Additional booking notes

I only need 2 chairs ( ONE without arms) and a power source for lighting. If outdoors, I would need adequate shade and...protection from hurricanes and tornados!~
