    First son's 1st birthday
    Chris J.

    This review has been a long time coming for Drew. We first hired Drew to draw family caricatures live during our first son's 1st birthday party back in January 2018. He was an instant hit during the party! Everyone loved the family drawings he was able to create on the spot for them. We liked Drew so much that we went back to him for our second son's 1st birthday party in August 2019. Again, he worked very hard to make sure that every family went home happy with his awesome caricatures. And yet once more, we hired Drew to draw for our daughter's 1st birthday party in May 2021. Only this time, he was unable to be there in person due to a prior commitment he had the same day. Instead of doing the family caricatures live, he created them beforehand from pictures we sent over to him, and personally delivered them to us the day before the party. We gave out the family caricatures to each family as birthday party giveaways and everyone was pleasantly surprised when we handed them theirs. As you can see, we have now made it a tradition to hire Drew for our children's 1st birthday parties and look forward to working with him more in the future. His friendliness, quick responsiveness, attention to detail, and professionalism are bar none. We cannot recommend him and thank him enough for the memories he helped create for each of ours children's 1st birthday parties. Thank you Drew!

    My birthday girl's caricature

    Drew is awesome! My family and friends loved him and all ask me for his information. Highly recommend for any parties to entertain your guests other than the typical bounce house balloons amd face painting which are all fun too, but too common now. Hire him, and I guarantee you won't regret it. He even gave us a free customized drawing of my birthday girl. Thank you Drew!

    Beautiful ballon arch for my newest baby niece!

    Working with Drew was an absolute pleasure. He was extremely communicative from start to finish. I look forward to working with again in the future. With very short notice, Drew was able to arrange erect a gorgeous balloon arch to welcome my new niece home from the hospital. With very short notice, I mean less than 36 hrs from initial contact to delivery! My newest niece also has a big sis at home who was eagerly awaiting her arrival, and I ordered a twisted Minnie Mouse sculpture for big sis. This is how much she loved it... she didn't even care that mom, dad and baby sis were home and promptly dragged her new best friend around for hours!! Thank you again for all your care it was a pleasure to work with you!

    This picture was wayyy better in person and loved the metallic balloons

    Contacted this company for a balloon decor for a visit i had coming up to San Diego for my daughter's 16th bday. His response time was great and prices seemed reasonable for what i asked for and he delivered them to my hotel which helped me out greatly. I would definitely recommend his s

    Me and my now husband getting our caricature!

    I cannot begin to thank Drew for his beautiful work at our wedding. He was amazingly kind and sweet in his communications and was very fast in the commissions that I paid for even after the wedding. Everyone was most excited for Drew at our wedding (we kept him busy). So I recommend that if you can, book him for longer than you think you need, because he will be the most popular guy at your wedding! My best friend l told me it is their most favorite wedding souvenir ever! My whole family was tickled pink at the accuracy of Drew's drawings and it was so much fun looking at them after the wedding. His art style is definitely a much more modern cute take on American caricatures, they almost have an anime-esque feel to them and it just can make you so happy to see yourself turned into a aesthetically pleasing cartoon. The main reason I picked Drew over the competition is because his art style is unique and in a few ways so different from the typical American caricature art style. Thanks Drew, we had an absolute blast and will cherish these forever!

    I found Collin on Yelp and she was wonderful! We wanted to try something new my son's birthday so…read morewe hired Collin to draw caricatures for our guests. It was a hit for both kids and adults! What makes Collin 5 stars? - she's professional and friendly - she arrived early to set up and started right on time as scheduled - she's responsive via text and email - her prices are reasonable ($125/hr) and she includes a plastic cover for each portrait - she had amazing caricature skills and can finish each portrait within minutes. She's patient with kids and can even add pets to your portrait if you show her a picture of them ;) I highly recommend using Collin for your next event!

    From the owner: I specialize in creating caricatures for kids, couples and families in a cute, cartoony style that…read moreis especially appealing to children. I like to add fun whimsical elements, like animals or backgrounds that tie the portrait to a playful theme. I charge $125/hour and require 2 hour min booking ($250). In 2 hours I can create approximately: 30 black & white single face portraits OR 16 colored single face portraits OR 8 colored single full body portraits with a background. Multiple people in a single picture will require more time and should be considered when thinking about how long to make the booking. I require 50% deposit upon booking, refundable up to 30 days before event. Will travel anywhere in the San Diego North County, Temecula and Murrieta. I typically create my portraits on 12x16 paper, but can work with you if a different dimension or cardstock is needed. I also do commission work if you require pre-made caricatures for your wedding or other event. Price quotes will be based on the overall time it will take to complete the work as outlined above. To provide an accurate quote for commission work, please provide the following information: What is the total number of portraits required? Do you have clear photos of the people you want drawn? Do you want Face only or Full body portraits? Do you want Single face or Multiple face portraits? Do you want Black & White or Colored portraits? I love forward to hearing from you! Please visit my website for availability.

    I met Cameron in the summer of 2015 when I lived in Oceanside. He was at the Thursday night market…read morein downtown. He was so kind and personable and made me laugh the entire time. His artwork is honestly breathtaking. He does so much more than just caricatures it's insane! I know he is available for parties/weddings/social events so if you're looking for an extremely talented and cool guy to spice things up, contact him! These drawings are memories that will last a lifetime and I look forward to working more with him! I can't wait to go back to socal and meet up with him again. He has a website listed where you can purchase his art and I believe also submit photos that he can draw and ship to you! It is SO worth it. I know I've said this a million times before, but thank you!!! These drawings are the first thing I see when I walk into my room and they make me smile even after the roughest days.

    We were looking for a caricature artist for our wedding. When we saw Cameron's style on Gigmasters,…read morewe knew he would be perfect. His style is so unique and definitely captures the essence of people. You can tell you are looking at someone through his eyes. He is based in Oceanside/San Diego but is willing to travel to Orange County and surrounding areas. His prices are definitely worth the quality of his services!!! It was a Halloween wedding and he came as Van Gogh with a bloody bandage on his ear and a huge paintbrush sticking out. It was awesome! He had a line throughout the entire reception. We were his last subjects, and he really made us a special caricature as a wedding gift. I don't think we can ever have a caricature done that will top this one! Cameron was friendly, good at giving us direction, and a good conversationalist. Our photographer was so impressed that he took his card, and you know he sees a lot of caricature artists!!! We are so glad that we went with Cameron! Our wedding would not have been the same without him.
