12-11-09 Holiday Party at the San Jose Museum of Art hires Bay Area Caricaturist Jon Casey!

Rovi Corp rented out the San Jose Museum of Art and had me come and draw for them. It was such as hit, I ended up staying an extra hour. When the Museum was shutting down and the food was being put away, I was finishing up the last few in line still.

12-4-09 Silicon Laboratories Hires Bay Area Caricature Artist Jon Casey!

Lots of fun drawings at this party! I was asked to stay an extra hour because no one wanted to leave without a sketch. This was one of those fun parties where everyone laughed and joked each other during and after the sketches.

12-3-09, San Jose Hilton Women's Networking Alliance, Let the Holiday Parties Begin!

This event begins a busy season of Holiday Parties all over the Bay Area!

Through my volunteering my services for the Dream Wedding Giveaway, I have been rewarded with many jobs. One of them took place tonight at the San Jose Hilton, where I drew for 3 1/2 hours to help a new organization celebrate a successful year together in these tough times.

I went to the paper store earlier today, and instead of buying pure white paper, I bought a thick grey toned paper. I drew the sketches tonight with shades of grey and a few white highlights added here and there. I am looking forward to experimenting more with tones for my drawings!

Lisa hired me for her friend's baby shower in San Jose. Many attendees were from my home state of Virginia, and others had been drawn by me at parties before!

9-19-09 Event Number Two, Wedding in San Jose

I went straight from the Corporate Party in Coyote Point park to San Jose, for Duy Tran's wedding. There were hundreds of people there, and my sketches increased in speed as the line got longer. At one point I drew 4 people in 3 minutes! I got in as many people as I could, but this was a party where two artists would have worked better. Although there was no way possible to get everyone in, I got some great sketches and a lot of compliments.

8-15-09 Part Two, Wedding party in San Jose

San Jose Wedding Party

Tiffany hired me for her pre-wedding wedding party in San Jose. The party was great, and she sent this wonderful review to Yelp the next day:

So I had this wild idea a week before our Hawaiian Wedding Celebration (before the real thing in a month) to get an artist to sketch our guests. Given Jon's great Yelp reviews which hold alot of weight with me, I figured he seemed like the real deal. Now I have to be honest, my soon-to-be-hubby wasn't sure of the idea. I booked Jon anyway. He responded the same day with estimates and ideas for a custom sketch with the Hawaiian event theme.
Jon was more than we could have ever asked for. His work is INCREDIBLE. He stole the show and people were lined up 4 deep. We finally had to pull him away for a break. We had so many takers we begged him to stay another half hour. Even after Jon left people kept looking at their sketches and talking about his work. His personality fits any crowd and quite charming with guests. I would do it all over again and will know what to expect as far as him being in such demand. Soon-to-be-hubby is still talking about eating his words as this was the best idea ever!
If you're here and looking at reviews for an artist, save the hassle and your time. Go with Jon!

Double Bat Mitzvah 5/16/09
