I was at a conference in The Marriott Baltimore Waterfront hotel and attended an evening reception of the conference, where I found the conference paid for the services of an amazing caricaturist by the name of Mikey J. Since it was free for me... I thought.... you know I have never had a caricature of me made. Well I am always up for new experiences.
Mikey J was friendly and very funny. We spoke a bit and then he asked me what are my three favorite hobbies.... hmmmm I said.... watching movies, reading and eating (darn you yelp for making food a hobby of mine!). So he had me sit down and he did my portrait in about 10 minutes it felt. Omg!!!! I laughed out loud when I saw my caricature! I shook his hand and thanked him. I was very impressed how he captured me and his skill. To my fellow yelpers.... do I look like my caricature?
He did say he lives in Tampa so I wonder if he does these outside of the DC area.... anyway if you ever see him at an event... definitely get a caricature from him! If you are looking for a cool thing to add to an event, book him! He's a great guy and a great artist! read more
