If you are looking for a fantastic gift for your anniversary or other kind of event, Jon will make…read moreyou very happy. He was super communicative and made sure to double check all the details with me on a daily basis, as well as send pencil sketches so you get to watch and work on the process of building a cartoon with him. I reached out to do an anniversary cartoon telling the story of how my girlfriend and I got together and sent him a short paragraph with the details and some photos. Jon storyboarded it and right out of the gate it was funny and he got so many details (even stuff in the background) right. Once the final pencil was approved he colored it in with beautiful watercolors and it really took the cartoon to the next level. The process was very fast and took about two weeks from sending him stuff to getting the final piece, which I picked up in person. If you are looking for a truly wonderful, mind-blowing gift that tells your or someone else's story, this is it.

Such a fun and unique gift for a loved one and Jon is great to work with. I recently got a…read morecaricatoon for my girlfriend for her birthday and she loved it! The process is quick and simple. Send Jon an idea along with a couple photos. I'd recommend more than 1 so he can get the best sense of what everyone looks like. He'll make a few quick sketches of his design ideas and let you pick which one you like most. Then, he'll send multiple drafts along the way to make sure you're happy with how its coming out. When the final pencil is approved, he'll color it in and arrange to pick it up. He completed mine in about a week and a half but I got the sense he could do much faster if I needed it. And the price is determined by how many panels and how much detail you want. So if you're on a budget, Jon can still make you something cool. I'd highly recommend this as a gift! I'm also thinking of getting one to promote my business. Thanks Jon!

My daughter was getting married, Very formal, large wedding. At the entrance of the wedding…read morereception we had Christine do a caricature of them as a surprise. We did a poster size and had guests sign and comment for memory sake. I provided her with the dress photo, his tux photo, a current picture of them. I told her their favorite hobbies and she incorporated all the information she had. It was absolutely perfect! Looked just like them. The bride and groom were amazed with the attention to detail. Her gown was exact. His tux was a duplicate. Their faces, exaggerated yet oh so flattering. Bride and groom loved their surprise, the entire room of wedding guests could not stop talking about the drawing and it still hangs proudly on their wall. Christine was professional, provided full 5 star customer service to me with drafts of the drawing until I was 100% satisfied and delivered the caricature prior to due date. I highly recommend her for all your needs in this field.

The NYSketches team was responsive and helpful with great customer service leading up to my event (I had a few questions about the set up and what style of drawings we could choose from) and the artist assigned to us, Rebecca, was kind, fast and super talented! I can't wait to find another excuse to book NYSketches for a party. I highly recommend NYSketches to anyone who wants to add a unique experience to their event, for a reasonable price. Abbycaddick

We hired Evan to draw caricatures for my daughter's preschool carnival fundraiser. What a great…read moreidea! Evan was engaging and drew constantly for over three hours. Both adults and kids loved the whimsical caricatures. It was fun overhearing kids say, "That's ME, mama!" Evan even supplied plastic sleeves for each drawing so that guests could bring home the caricatures safely. The caricature that he drew of me and my daughter is so great that we hung it up on the wall immediately. I would recommend him for any kind of party or get-together and we will of course hire him again next year!

He did caricature drawings during our cocktail hour and the entire length of our reception, he didn't even stop to eat. He is one of the most talented people we have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am so happy that we were able to hire him for our wedding, every time we see someone who attended the first thing they talk about it how much fun it was having their caricature drawn. Another HUGE plus of having him draw at our wedding was the fact that our guests got to take home their caricature drawing which replaced the need for the typical "wedding favor". This experience was so much fun and I would recommend you hire Kenny for all of your party needs! Trust me- your guest will be gushing over it for years. He is beyond personable and all of the guests LOVED him. OH and also you can get customized paper to make the design even more sentimental and special to whatever your occasion is!

My guest complained all night, I was embarrassed. He needs to update his interaction to appease all race, ethnicity, age, and religion. He is not good for large events. If you're looking for a fast, fun, exciting, authentic caricaturist.. better off hiring someone else, or do it yourself! If he takes a million years to draw on a iPad, he must take a billion years on paper! Thank you.

There were about 50 attendees and he was given free rein to draw anyone he could persuade to sit. Dale did a terrific job, and I'm reminded of that now as I see how he captured something of my mother that immediately brings her to life for me. I can't answer for others, obviously, but based on my personal experience I would recommend Dale any day of the week.
