We hired C.J. as the caricature artist for my husband’s 50th birthday party, and he was fantastic! So talented, easy to work with, and a wonderful addition to the celebration. The caricatures were a huge hit and gave our guests such a fun keepsake. Highly recommend!
It was a pleasure having Charlie join our conference booth to draw caricatures of our attendees. Charlie was very responsive and professional. He was also very easy to talk to and made our guests feel comfortable. Would absolutely recommend him for your event!

We had the most amazing experience with our cartoonist for my daughter’s birthday party! CJ was incredibly talented, professional, and so patient with all the kids. Each drawing captured their personalities perfectly, and it quickly became everyone’s favorite part of the celebration. Our guests are still talking about it! Thank you for bringing so much creativity and fun to my daughter’s special day — we would absolutely book you again!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process involves getting the details of the project, analyzing the specs of the project, and having the client provide me with photos or reference pictures. Once I have this information, I provide the client with an accurate quote. A half down deposit is due at the start of the project and the final deposit is due once the project is complete.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in Graphic Design from the Maryland Insitute College of Art (MICA).
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was self-taught in drawing and painting. Art started for me as a hobby, But going to college helped me improve my skills and master computer programs to further enhance my skills.
