Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 24, 2023•From Oxnard, CA
My family hosted a party with about 120 guests for my daughter's 15th birthday. We knew that having a caricaturist would be a special and unusual treat. James absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. He is handled all of the guests that wanted a caricature with grace, charisma, and joy. Our guests expressed their pleasure at his speed and talent. James engaged everyone in conversation while he worked his magic. He is talented and clearly enjoys the time he spends with each person. I highly recommend James and will gladly have him return to future events. Thank you, James!!!

James came to one of our client appreciation events. All of our clients truly enjoyed being drawn by James and his fun, energetic personality! They left our party with a memorable take away from the night and we are very grateful to James for that! Charles W. Mason & Associates would definitely use his talents again!
Thanks James!

James is the best in the biz! His personality is wonderful and he helped add so much fun to our wedding. Everyone wanted a caricature by him and was incredibly happy with the results.

When you're planning a wedding you deal with a lot of different high maintence personalities in that business and James was a breath of fresh air making the whole process and the day so easy. Thank you a million times over James. I'll recommend you to everyone! xo

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 13, 2015•From Encino, CA
James Malia made my 10-year-old birthday girl's party a huge success! I can tell you the minute he arrived and set up all the girls immediately gathered round him to watch. He did the portrait of my daughter first and the rest of the girls sat there watching his every move. They were absolutely fascinated and could not wait to have their own portrait done. There were about 10 girls and Mr. Malia patiently drew each and every one, then my son, then me.The girls went home with their own portraits, thrilled! The other parents were awestruck at what a great idea it was to have Mr. Malia at the party. I would definitely wish to work with Mr. Malia again.

James was a fantastic addition to our Cinco de Mayo party. Guests loved getting their custom caricatures done - plus, it was a fun takeaway for them to bring home and remember our event. James is on-time, professional, and charismatic. I would highly recommend him for your next event.
