Diego was a hit at our daughter’s bat mitzvah last night! He arrived on time, was communicative, and did great work. There was a line to get his drawing the entire night. Would highly recommend!

We had Diego do face painting at my granddaughters 5th birthday party. His work is absolutely amazing!!! Everyone at the party kept complimenting his work and saying how fantastic the kids’ faces looked. He also painted a few adults’ too. Diego does excellent work and I would recommend him to anyone who needs face painting services and I will definitely use him again. Thank you, Diego, for being a part of my granddaughter’s 5th birthday celebration and for helping make it so special and such a success!

Our guests loved Diego and his artistic eye! He made sure our guests were taken care of throughout night while they waited for their turn to receive their caricature. He is full of talent and very easy to work with! We are definitely going to hire him again to capture more milestones in our lives!
Diego did a fantastic job by arriving early to set up which looked great. The kids were thrilled with everything, and I highly recommend his services for children's birthday parties and other events. We will definitely be booking him again next year.
