Cameron was fantastic at our Welcome Reception! He was personable, funny and great with all attendees. The drawings were amazing! Would highly recommend!
Cameron was amazing and the pictures were on point! I would hire him for every event!
Prompt! Courteous! Professional! and Funny! This guy's got it all and I can't wait to get another caricature! He's Got IT! Highly recommended for parties of any size or venue, I'm glad I booked in advance because it seems like his calendar gets really full!
Cameron did great caricatures for our adult party.
If you are looking for an incredibly talented artist, Cameron is the man! He showed up early, he responds SUPER fast to every email, he was quick and efficient and our guests absolutely loved him. I shopped around quite a bit to try to find someone and NO ONE could come near what he can do! He didn't take a break, he just kept going. Guaranteed to be a HUGE hit! He is worth every single penny and we will most definitely be having him come back again! Best advice I can give is book him an additional hour more than you think you will need him. He is well worth it and EVERYONE will want a drawing! Do it! You won't regret it!
Cameron joined us for a two day trade show in San Diego to draw caricatures for our clients and guests. His work was just stunning and his ability to capture the personality of his subjects was a delight to watch. Working with Cameron was a pleasure from start to finish; his communications were timely and thorough, he was very professional, and always prompt in his arrivals. We will certainly engage Cameron again when we return to California for our next event.
We booked Cameron for an event with only 3 weeks notice and luckily he was available. He was professional and patient throughout the booking process and incredibly adaptable on the day of the event. We had an Oscars themed luncheon and he offered to print special paper to personalize the design! We weren't able to take him up on the offer but it sounded like an amazing idea. Our guest really enjoyed their experience and all of them raved about their caricature. He was a wonderful addition to our event and I highly recommend him for any event - big or small.
Cameron drew for our customer service week event in October and did so well that even the CEO waited in line to have his done! The department loved him, he was engaging, and his work was truly impressive. When we asked for more time, he accommodated our every need. We will definitely be bringing him back to the next company event!
I hired Cameron for a Star Wars theme party and I loved his work. He added little details in each picture and now each person knows when they look at their drawing that they got that character done at our party. He did a character of my mom, myself, my hubby and my son and there where all spot on. I will definitely hire him again in a heart beat!!!! Cameron was very nice and professional. He was also very pleasant patient with my family and friends
