Sol was great! He went right to work as soon as the guests got there! Sol did not stop drawing from the time he sat down till the last couple he drew. I don't even think he took a bathroom break all night. Sol even stayed an extra half hour because he still had people in line. Thanks Sol, you were a hit!

About
Drawing quality caricatures quickly and accurately has been my passion and profession for years. I discovered my knack for capturing personalities with a few bold strokes early on, and since then, I've honed my craft through countless sketches at some of the busiest venues.
My career is caricatures began amidst the hustle and bustle of Navy Pier, Six Flags, and the Bristol Renaissance Faire. Drawing lines of eager customers taught me the importance of speed without compromising on quality. Each sketch became a challenge and an opportunity to refine my technique, ensuring every face I drew had its own unique charm.
Today, I bring my artistry to events of all sizes, from intimate family gatherings to high-profile corporate clients such as Motorola Solutions and The Chicago Bulls. Whether it's a birthday party or a corporate gala, my goal remains the same: to delight guests with caricatures that not only capture their likeness but also evoke laughter and joy.
My approach blends meticulous observation with a quick hand, allowing me to distill complex features into simplified, yet expressive forms on paper. I thrive on the interaction with my subjects, engaging them in light-hearted banter as I sketch, ensuring each caricature is not just a likeness but a memorable experience.
Beyond events, I continue to explore new styles and techniques in my studio, constantly pushing the boundaries of caricature artistry with mediums such as graphite and airbrush paint; in an endless pursuit to capture the essence of my favorite famous people and personalities.
I am grateful for the opportunities to evoke so many smiles and bursts of laughter and to capture special moments for people. Each drawing reinforces my belief in the power of caricature art to connect, entertain, and celebrate the diversity of humankind.
