2-27-10 Birthday Party in Dublin Hires Bay Area Caricature Artist Jon Casey

In just under two hours I drew about 18 kids caricatures, plus the birthday girl's Mom and Dad for a Birthday party at Cafe Art in Dublin California.

Red Bricks Media hires Jon Casey, Bay Area Caricature Artist, for it's 5th anniversary Party!

About 9 months ago Laura Gilmore and I drew for Red Bricks 5th anniversary party. They made this cool website to show off our work!

2-4-10, a Bay Area Caricature Artist Conglomerate Party Sketch Power Group!

Local Bay Area Caricature Artist Doug Shannon brought together a group of the Best of the Bay Caricature Artists, and got us working a job in Santa Clara while he took off to Orlando Florida to draw his digital caricature magic at another gig.

We had some time to kill, and partnered up to sketch each other. This is Big Al Lopez sketch of me. Thanks Big Al!

This hilarious sketch of Zach Trenholm was drawn by Marc Schmid.

Here is Zach Trenholm, an artist and illustrator whom I have a lot of respect for.
Marc Schmid, a hilarious guy. My first night working with him, hopefully not my last.
And also, Al Lopez, known as Big Al. Super nice guy who could entertain any group of people.

The first sketches of the night, left Zach Trenholm, and mine on the right.

These last few sketches are examples of my work from the evening. We were such a hit that all four of us were asked to stay an extra hour on top of the 3 we already worked. It is rare these days that I get to work with other artists, and I feel especially lucky to get to work with these three artists, who are all Bay Area Legends.

For anyone looking for total caricature entertainment, I could suggest nothing better than hiring the crew of all four of us. You could entertain an entire West Coast Construction group like the above, and you would get the best live caricature art possible!

10-01-09, Corporate Party for Cisco in Sunnyvale, with 4 caricaturists!

Worked in Sunnyvale for Cisco Systems, thanks to Robert Bauer at Goofy Faces. Rene Pulido, Big Al, and an artist from a local park named Ramon all drew sketches as fast as we could. We were all so popular that the four of us stayed an extra half hour.

It was great getting to work with other artists, after many many solo gigs. Thanks to all of them and the people at Cisco who were very appreciative of our art!

8-29-09 Private Party in El Sobrante California

Straight from Bloomingdales to El Sobrante, I drew this couples families and friends, and cooks!

Bloomingdales Corporate Event, AMFAR fundraiser, SF 9-27-09

After seeing my work for Red Truck wines, Bloomingdales hired me to paint a background and come in and draw for their new fashion line. They are donating 75k to AMFAR for AIDs research, and premiering a new Black and White fashion line. I painted the background in about a quarter of the time it would usually take, using my new cintiq!

Here are some pics of the event, which was a lot of fun. They are having me back for the 29th of August as well.

8-9-09 Corporate Event for Virgin America

Worked Virgin America's Birthday party with Jodi Carr and Doug Shannon. Jodi and I were very busy, and Doug's expertly done Digital Caricatures were a real crowd pleaser! Thanks to the team of Howard and Manny over at Bay City Events for the job!

Birthday Party 8-2-09

There were a lot of drawings I liked from this event! I got this email from them after: Hey there, Thank you so much for your services. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed your works of art! I'll definitely think of you for the future! Thanks, Rominda

7-31-09 Waterfront container co. San Francisco

This was a surprise! I contacted this company this morning, and a couple hours later I drew all 28 members of the office in full color with mats. 5 of the employees were off, but they managed to find photos from various office parties, so no one was left out.

If you have a company or office crew and think you would like to have me come and draw, I have discounted rates for weekdays during office hours!
