10-31-09 Patrick Chan's Party for his 1 yr old son hires Bay Area Caricature Artist Jon Casey

Patrick wrote me a great review on Yelp.com : Thanks Patrick!

I was planning for my son's 1st Birthday and was thinking how I would entertain all the kids at the party. Should I go with the typical Ballon artist or go for something different like a caricature artist. My wife and I are very pleased that we chose to go with Jon as our caricature artist. He was awesome and they last for a lifetime.

We hired Jon for 2 hrs and he was busy from beginning to end. We felt bad we had to limit it to kids' only as adults were so impressed they wanted them too. Money was well spent having Jon as our entertainment.

I have no problems recommending him to anyone looking for ways to entertain guest at their parties.

Thanks again Jon and I hope to use you again in the future!!

Happy Birthday Ron Turner, Caricature for San Francisco owner of Last Gasp Books!

9-21-09 Kristina Marie's Birthday at the Holiday Inn, San Francisco

Kristina Marie contacted me last minute for her Birthday party at the Hilton in San Francisco on the 21st. There was magic by Ryan Horsfall, and Mike Shumyater was there to photograph the fun. (MichaelShumyater@yahoo.com)

Being a caricature artist is not a way to get rich, but there are real rewards when you draw people and their faces light up. The caricatures were so popular that I ended up staying over time! I really enjoyed this event, and the next day I received a wonderful e-mail from Kristina Marie:

Well to be honest I am speech less- you were awesome!

you were right about people wanting you to stay pass the hour-

I had my sister in law nag, nag, nag, me to request if you can stay an extra 30 min-

Everyone here at the house is showing off their sketch especially me..

I LOVE IT! Even my friends from the Church are planning to hire you

for their annual charity event. Thank you so much for making my

Birthday Memorable!!!

Have a Blessed Day
-Kristina
