We hired George for our wedding and hired him for 3 hours for $200, tipped him $50, and provided an additional $30 for gas. We found out only six drawings were complete during the time span of 3 hours. We wouldn't have hired him if we had known only six guests had their drawings done.

There were actually at least 7 drawings, each of two people, one included two pets from photos, which could be counted as two more. 14 people, and at 180 minutes for a 3 hour job, 12.8 minutes per person says my calculator. I only advise that a single caricature takes AROUND 10 minutes, and to do couples is more difficult and takes a little longer because you have to match the head size, style, and composition. I do them only to satisfy the wishes of the customers. When I know ahead of time drawing a maximum number of people is the primary concern, I refuse to do couples because they take too long. I feel I lived up to my part of the bargain. Some customers got up and did group photos, or went to see an event in the other room right in the middle of my drawing. This has never happened before, but I didn't complain even though it added 10 or more to the finished time. Type your response to this review.

I don't show color samples. If asked to do color I would do it if that is a requirement. I remind the client that it takes longer. Usually they are concerned with getting the most number of drawings done, and with a 100 people on average you can't do everybody. I don't think I have done any parties where all the drawings were in color for a few years now. It just never comes up as a priority. Usually artists who can't draw a face well use color to cover up that fact, that it is not very good as a black and white outline. The last party I was going to do one in color at the end as a special request but they changed their mind as it turned out a couple more people wanted to be drawn and the hall was getting ready to close.

George was a smash hit at our wedding reception on September 4th. We wanted to add a bit of wow factor to the party and George did just that. Everyone was amazed and loved his work. Thanks George for giving our guests something memorable to rave about for years to come.

Thank You! This is typical of the reviews I have had over many years of doing caricatures. The two above are not normal. Read more below and you will see 100% satisfaction. You can't be perfect and I am dissatisfied that one bad review is now in the number one spot after a PERFECT record since 2011.

George is a bonafide artist! I hired him to draw caricatures for my daughter's guests at her Sweet 16 and his artwork was the highlight of the night. Everyone was able to get a caricature drawn of them, and are now changing their profile pictures to photos of their caricature drawings! Thank you so much for your professionalism, your talented artwork, and calm demeanor throughout the entire process + event!

We hired George to be the caricaturist out our wedding reception. He offered us a great deal and had the best examples of work out of all the bids I received on Thumbtack. I threw in some extra bucks for parking because we had the wedding on a riverboat in Old Town Alexandria where garages are the best option.
He drew for about 3 hours, always had a wedding guest or two at his station, and was a popular highlight at the reception.
My husband and I unfortunately didn't have time to sit and get our wedding caricature portrait done, but I did see other guests drawings and they were spot on with facial features and fun quirky embellishments. Everyone who was drawn told me how awesome the session was and how much they loved their caricature favor.
I would recommend him as the go-to caricaturist for the DC/MD/VA area!
