    I'm so glad I booked a caricature artist at my daughter's 1st birthday party. We did not have many young kids at our party so I figure I opt out of the typical balloon and magic show entertainment and stick with a treat that could potentially last a while. Tiki was a hit amongst our guests and was very engaging with everyone. I hope to book him again if we have another large party.

    Tiki in action: drawing a caricature of one of my granddaughters - 8/18/18

    The definition of "caricature" is a picture or imitation of a person which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated to create a comic effect. And there are professional caricature artists who do this to entertain people. Upon referral by my party coordinator, Tessa Gomes of Fred + Kate Events, I contracted DigiToons Hawaii for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday party. Philip Wulf (or "Tiki") of DigiToons does caricature drawings in color using a digital tablet (like an iPad, but bigger). As a Digital Caricature Artist, he uses a mix of tech, art, and hand drawing to produce cute cartoon-like drawings of you with the profile view in 3 minutes or a frontal view in 5 minutes. I gave a preference for Tiki to draw frontal views and gave him the discretion to change to the profile view if the line got long to speed things up a bit so that our guests would not be waiting so long. The pictures are displayed on a wall or screen up to 10', and free individual prints 4"x6" printed in 5 seconds and are given to you. You can also access your pictures and see samples of others on DigiToons' website by clicking on "Gallery." There was a continuous queue fronting the DigiToons booth, which made this booth very popular among the guests. I could see that Tiki tried to capture each person's individual characteristics that were unique, whether it be the eyes, hair, or the smile. He would also talk to them to get a better idea of who they are and what they like, too possibly add to his drawing. The digital technology allowed him to quickly add color, hair textures, and background if there is a theme. I thought Tiki was very talented in his drawings, which he received many compliments from our guests. Plus, they loved to have a copy of his drawings to take home! He worked quickly as everyone couldn't wait to see themselves in his drawings. Tiki has had an interest in art since he was a youngster by drawing comics, then started drawing at festivals and local amusement parks, and graduated to drawing at Magic Mountain and Universal Studios in CA; at Tokyo Disneyland; and subsequently moved to Honolulu in 2014. He also has experience in design and animation, and has worked on a cartoon for Nickelodeon TV and several web games. Tiki was easy to work with in contracting him for his services. It helps to book him from three months to one year in advance. Coordination was done via e-mail, and he responded to my inquiries right away. His requirements included having a space about 5'x8' to set up the projector screen and an electrical outlet within 20', a few chairs, and a table. He arrived 20 minutes before the party to set up and promptly was ready at the start time we designated. DigiToons has been entertaining guests at birthday parties, wedding receptions, and corporate events. I am so glad I was able to contract them for this party, as Tiki produced great drawings for everyone, and it was a fun experience for all ages. This is an excellent entertainment venue for guests, which I would gladly contract with them again if I am planning a party!

    Tiki was awesome! I had a caricature of myself and my husband done at our friend's son's 1st Birthday Party. He uses an iPad like tablet to quickly sketch you and he finishes pretty quickly in about 5-10 mins so he can get through a good amount of people in a short time period. I looked at his pricing listed on his website that said $150/hour for the first 2 hours and then $100/hour after that. The pricing sounds steep at first, but after planning my own wedding 3 years ago, that's not bad for a vendor that both kids and adults can enjoy. He was also very personable and did mention that we could download our images for free on his website which I thought was great. I'll definitely be hiring him for our own child's 1st bday party...but first I gotta work on having a baby first LOL. Totally recommend him if you're looking for a fun and different vendor for your event!

    I hired Tiki for my son's high school graduation party that we recently held at Dave & Busters, based upon the positive reviews here on Yelp. I originally got the idea from seeing a post on social media from a friend of mine who hired another caricature artist for a party she organized, but I was disheartened by the high rates that were quoted (I'm not a rich guy). I found Tiki's Digitoons business on Yelp and reached out to him on his website, and he replied quite promptly. Not only are his rates very reasonable, but he was easy to work with leading up to the party and also during my son's party. He was a hit with my family and friends, very personable and genuine, and exceeded my expectations. The event coordinator at Dave & Busters was also very familiar with Tiki (and recommended him also) so they knew exactly what to provide for him for his setup (e.g. table, a couple of chairs, located near an outlet, etc). With everything going on at the party and trying to orchestrate things with the 3 hours that we had the event space, one thing that I didn't have to worry about was Tiki and my guests while they were with him. His artwork was great, creative, and fun. I HIGHLY recommend Tiki to anyone reading this review! Mahalo Tiki for helping us make great memories for my son and our family and friends!

    This review is long overdue since my daughters' birthdays in August. So less than a month to go until we flew back home to Oahu for our daughters' birthdays, I decided that it was a great idea to have Tiki draw caricatures at our potluck. However, he wasn't available and he said his son was available and he could do it. I said, "great, let's book him." I didn't NEED any frills at this potluck since it was a casual event, but I felt like I wanted to give our guests something to remember the day. I had my friend bring his photobooth for my first daughter's 1st birthday. The caricatures would have been something unique. Then a week before the event, I received an email and a refund in my Paypal account. I thought, "Oh no, what happened?" Tiki regret to inform me that his son was not available and there was a mixup. Ok, deep breath. Tiki apologized and gave me recommendations on another artist he knew. Or he asked me if I would like to try PartyHatz, which would allow our guests to have custom made hats. So after discussing with my husband, we agreed to have custom hats as our party "favor"/entertainment for our guests. Cassandra was prompt and professional and fought mother nature (it was windy that day) to setup her area. Once she was setup, I put in my hat order, of course. Then quickly the rest of our guests lined up to get their requests in. Before we knew it, all hats were claimed and everyone had their own custom hats to wear before the party ended. I definitely posted all the hats on my instagram account and all of our friends in California were so impressed and asked me to order hats for them. I always say everything happens for a reason. Having Cassandra at our party was a blessing. Little did I know, our party was her first actual event for PartyHatz. She did so well and our family and friends were so happy. Definitely memorable. So thank you to Tiki and Cassandra for making it happen! After the party, Tiki emailed me and drew me this beautiful caricature of my two daughters. They both love looking at the drawing every day on my phone (it's my screensaver). Hopefully, next time I won't wait until the last minute to book Tiki. But I definitely recommend booking Cassandra for your PartyHatz.

    I highly recommend the very talented Tiki, of Digitoons Hawaii! I had a Clarins skincare event at Nordstrom and his drawings were the highlight of the day. He's a great guy, professional, and everyone loved their caricatures!

    Tiki was amazing to work with! Very pleasant with each guest, working for 4 hours trying to get everyone's drawings done. He's very talented and very professional. We will definitely have him again for our next party.

    Tiki is absolutely amazing! I actually switched my daughters party date to have him because I really liked his work and I'm so happy I did. We got nothing but praises from our guests and they enjoyed watching him draw live on his projector screen. He was busy the entire party and worked non-stop for our guests. He drew a total of 39 caricatures in just over 4 hours and each one highly resembles the person! He was worth every penny and I would recommend booking him ASAP for your event. He really loves what he does and you can totally tell. I'll be hiring him for all future events!

    Absolutely loved Tiki and his Digitoons work. He was worth every penny & was definitely one of the highlights of my son's first birthday party! He was so nice and patient with everyone. He worked quickly and was able to produce great drawings for my guests, they were all amazed! I highly recommend him for any event, he added such a fun touch to our party. He set up his projector so everyone could watch him do each drawing, which also provided great entertainment for the kids & adults. And on top of that he printed them in color to hand out to each muse. I also love how the drawings are available online after my event was over. If and when we have another party he's definitely invited again, Mahalo Tiki!! I'll upload photos from my event when I get them..

    This is a very late review but I had to make one. I can't thank tiki enough for making my son's first birthday party a hit! He came on time, he made a free poster of my son & he even offered to start drawing right before the party starting for my friends. I loved that he displays what he is doing on the wall for everyone to follow along, this also got everyone excited to get themselves drawn. I felt so bad because every time I looked his way, he had a long line waiting but all of my guests loved this! I will definitely be booking with him in the near future!!!

    Service was absolutely amazing! Tiki was extremely pleasant, very fast and outgoing. I loved how everyone's pictures were saved onto their website. Everybody was complementing us that they never seen this type of entertainment before, and yes it was very different. Highly recommend for your next party!!

    It was so nice of Tiki to make sure I got a digitoon drawn of my daughter (the birthday celebrant)

    My husband and I are chronically online, so it's not surprising that we happened upon Caricature…read moreParty, the viral, artist-couple sensation on Instagram Reels. We were honestly scouring Kalakaua Ave, waiting to see if we could find the treasure that is Aaron and Saemee. I think we honestly found them because we did some honest to God detective work, determining and analyzing that a lot of their videos have Fendi as the background. Anyway, when we finally found the place (we should've just looked at their Instagram bio), we saw a couple getting their caricature done. They basically sold us on the experience because the guy was wearing a tshirt of the caricature they had gotten done from the same artist a while back. So, the guy who is getting a caricature drawn of him live was wearing a past caricature tshirt. It was a pretty meta moment, and the couple seemed really stoked to be there.. again. Long story told, we were sold! We went the following day promptly at 5:00 pm to be the first in line. Aaron was incredibly cordial and thoughtful in talking us through his artistic process. The sitting and modeling itself was quite an interesting hour. Several tourists and onlookers stood behind Aaron, laughing, making aghast reactions, and looking between the portraits and us. Introverts beware. Nonetheless, the audience brought about a nice sense of suspense for the final result. We were pleased and delighted by the outcome and the attention to detail. If you're hoping for a fun memory and experience of a lifetime, I'd highly recommend taking a seat at the Caricature Party! You won't regret it!

If the daughter tells aunty to get their face painted, we get our face painted. We wanted her to get her monies worth!
