About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

I have a college degree in art from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I draw the large head with small body caricatures. I use a black marker on white paper. The subject tells me something about himself that I can work into the caricature, maybe it is hobby or sport, maybe it is something he makes up as an original idea. I pride my self on being able to improvise many 'on the spot' requests, not restricted to a preplanned pose like hitting a baseball, etc. I do not use gross exaggerations very much, I would not give a woman a huge nose for instance, like some artists do, unless of course the sitter says "go ahead make it outrageous". I have never had a subject complain about that. I will exaggerate more if requested, however, it has never really come up. The large head on the small body with the cartooning style always gets a laugh, which is the idea, to make people smile. I do have colored chalks to add color, but since speed is of the essence here that is rarely used as it takes longer. I bring my own setup, and supply a plastic bag for each drawing which is done on a heavy stock paper. I see so many caricaturist use a thin paper that they just tear off from a clipped pile and just hand it to the subject, but in a festive situation I worry about protecting my work and having it last, a lot of people get them framed. I try to take precautions so the drawing won't end up stained or crumpled. I do see myself as an artist, I always want my work to be appreciated and saved.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on February 17, 2019From Aberdeen, MD

George did a great job and all of my guests really liked what he did. I would definitely hire him again. He is a true professional in what he does.

WeddingReviewed on October 16, 2017From Gettysburg, PA

George did an amazing job, and provided a unique experience for our wedding guests. Everyone absolutely LOVED their caricature drawings, and could not stop raving about how awesome George was. I am so glad he was part of our special day, and I would hire him again in a heart beat. One of the best choices I made!

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 26, 2018From Strasburg, PA

George was phenomenal! His talent speaks for itself, but his professionalism was unmatched. From the very start of our event there was not a moment where someone wasn't in George's chair having their caricature drawn. He even stayed a little over time to finish out our last stragglers who really wanted their caricatures drawn. Absolutely 5 out of 5 stars! If you are looking for real talent, and an amazing keepsake for your guests to take home with them, George is the person to call!
