I've partnered with Jon on a few projects now: both for an in-person event and a virtual project…read more The latter one is as follows: I work on the culture team of my company and we were looking to give our values posters a new look. You see, pre-pandemic we would get people together in the office and take group shots there. But now that our company is working on a remote-first basis, the office is no longer the focal point of our activities. That's when I reached out to Casey to have him work on turning photos of our values winners into fun caricatures. One of the pitfalls of caricatures is not getting the nuances of the different racial features correct, but Casey did an excellent job with this. All of the winners loved their caricature and many of them have since used them as their profile picture.

If you are seeking The Best Caricature Artist in the world, Jon Casey is your artist. Since 2005,…read moreJon has attended our annual Team Appreciation Bashes every year to draw our associates and their families. Over the years, he's not only become part of our festivities, but a family addition to our company. When planning our annual bash early this year, obviously we had to cancel the gathering and create an alternative way of our Team Appreciation Celebration. We collected 150 photos from our associates that included 290 individual drawings of people and pets. Jon was able to bring the magic and joy once again to our people for 2020's Team Appreciation Gift Bag. The drawings were FUN and AMAZING, they were a perfect addition to our gift bags. No pandemic stopped our annual celebration with Jon Casey Caricatures. Everyone of our associates had smiles from ear to ear when they saw their artwork. Thank you Jon for your amazing skills and customer service. We appreciate you and love you. Go Jon!

Setting up the booking and invoicing was super simple and all done over email.

They offer lots of other options like giant bubbles and glitter tattoos as well.
