Our experience with David was absolutely wonderful!!! We will book him for any and all future events. He was extremely easy to work with and had no problem extending his time to accommodate the people still in line. Everyone was extremely pleased with their drawings. Thanks David!!!!!

April 28, 2025David Mejia (caricature) Zero Stars
My husband and I booked David Mejia for my autistic son's 13th birthday party. He did not show up or let us know that he could not make it. We still haven't gotten a response from him and we paid in full ahead of time. We would like our money back ASAP. This is very disappointing as my son is on the spectrum and was looking forward to this event on his special day. This was very unprofessional.

Entirely my fault. I failed to mark the event on my calendar and let it slip. And then I didn't look at my messages soon enough. I will not happen again

About
Greetings. I am David Mejia and I am a Bay Area artist. I have been drawing caricature portraits for both private and public events since 2011. But I've been drawing since I was a child. My style combines realism and cartoon hence the term "Caricature Portriats".
My rate is $150 per hour plus a possible flat gas fee depending on how far I need to drive.
Feel free to contact me.
Additional booking notes
I can work 6 hours with one 30 minute break, I would need is 2 chairs, a table and light source.
