After so many of us got down, we compared the sketch and all of us agreed they did excellent job. I think the whole process was about 5 minuets? Not quite sure but remember thinking they did it very fast. They certainly created topics of conversation at our networking event. Highly recommend hiring them for your next get together

Over the holidays, I was searching for a caricature artist and was lucky enough to connect with…read moreAlexandra (Alex) Cheek from Caricature Artists Group LLC on Christmas Eve. She patiently listened to my vision for a retirement gift and immediately put me at ease with her friendly, professional approach. Alex gave me a realistic timeline that allowed time for review and edits, which I really appreciated. She quickly delivered a draft that perfectly captured my colleague's personality, and the final inked and colored caricature exceeded my expectations! Amazing talent, great communication, and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I recently commissioned Audrey to create a caricature as a gift for a high-profile individual, and…read morethe entire experience was exceptional. From the very beginning, Audrey was incredibly patient and thoughtful. She took the time to understand the vision, asked insightful questions, and made sure every detail was handled with care and discretion. Her communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout the process, which gave me complete confidence--especially given the importance of the recipient. When it came to delivery, she exceeded all expectations. The final piece was not only beautifully executed but tasteful, polished, and perfectly suited for such a distinguished person. Aubrey has a rare combination of artistic talent, professionalism, and grace. I would absolutely work with her again!!!

I was at a conference in The Marriott Baltimore Waterfront hotel and attended an evening reception…read moreof 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!

I had the pleasure of being drawn by Sue at our company's quarterly meeting / team building event…read moreduring my visit to the main office in the Northern Virginia / DC Area. Her portraits were good enough that we kept them to decorate our office! She was very talented, taking about 15 minutes to do really funny yet accurate paintings of our "best features". Sue painted both individuals and couples and even included highlights such as my boss and his numbers, and his wife and her shopping. She certainly captured my spiky buzzcut correctly! Side note: Either HR or accounting did the booking, but I believe you hire the artist through About Face's webpage and can see different portfolios.

I booked a party with a charicature artist for 3 hours (to the tune of $555.00 through my party…read moreplanner). During that time, only about 7-8 drawings were done and there were people in line for additional drawings. The artist did not know what the charges were for two more hours but I agreed and subsequently learned that during the drawing sessions with each party, significant time was taken for the artist to try to sell his own personal products to my party guests, and they were all shown a book to purchase. The following day the credit card was charged an additional $370.00 for TWO HOURS without any additional invoicing, and only a total of approximately 12 drawings were done during this 5 hour period. I brought it to management's attention and they told me too bad, so sad. The artist is well liked and they haven't had other complaints. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and extremely disappointing treatment of their customer. They should be embarrassed!
