Artistic Caricatures I entertain with quickly drawn (apx 2 minute) caricatures.
What separates me from other artists is my ability to draw a quick, humorous likeness in a flattering light which everyone is happy about, creating a festive and happy atmosphere.
Dale was prompt, accommodating , professional, and a talented artist whom I’d hire again. Thank you for being such a wonderful addition to our party !
The hit of our holiday party! So fun and creative! Would definitely recommend for your next party.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Oh Thanks Kelly! I had so much fun drawing your people!
We had Dale come to my son's third birthday party and he was a HIT! The theme was firetrucks and he was able to draw some of the kiddos as firefighters or other families as they requested. It was so cute and everyone is still commenting on how fun it was. He was also super easy to work with - communicative, arrived early and was so kind! I would definitely hire him again.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Awe shucks Marchelle, Thank you for inviting me! It was great! You really know how to throw a great party!
🎉
Dale was great! Personable and fun, this was a fun addition to our dinner.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you Sharon!
The pleasure was mine!
I’m so lucky I get to meet so many interesting people. And your group deserves our thanks for their work on solar shingles!
Glad I could help.😊
Dale was great! All of our guests loved their caricatures. He's a very talented artist who is also very personable and friendly. His communication was very prompt, as was his arrival. We had a great experience and highly recommend him.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Awe shucks Michele,
It’s so nice of you to post this, you know how important reviews are!
It was great to meet your friends, and quite a diverse and interesting group!
Thanks again!
Dale
Dale was early, fun for my guests, and created a great memory for us! He arrived early and was willing to stay longer if needed to assure all my guests had caricatures. Communication was great up to the event! Thank You, Dale!!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you Francisca!
Your party 🎈 made a lot of people happy!
It was nice to meet your warm circle of friends and family.
Dale was an amazing and fun edition to our wedding. He was great with everyone including the more restless kids in attendance. If you are looking for memories and entertainment in one, hire a caracturist.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks Ben, I really enjoyed entertaining everyone, and especially those cute kids!
Dale was fantastic! We booked him for our daughter’s 5th birthday and he was a huge hit. Everyone loved his work and he was able to draw everyone at the party. He was very friendly and always had a smile on his face. So so so happy we ended up picking him.
Our staff REALLY enjoyed seeing themselves drawn as a cartoon! It was a great holiday experience! Dale Whistler was so friendly and fun! We'll definitely try to have him out here again!
Dale did a great job at our event. From the start, he was very personable with volunteers and customers alike. I walked by his section multiple times and could see he was keeping customers engaged in conversation. And they were particularly happy with the caricatures he did for them which is probably why he had people waiting in line constantly. I'm looking forward to inviting Dale back at our festival next year.
Dale did amazing work at our wedding, and our guests loved their caricature drawings. I would definitely recommend hiring Dale for any event you are planning.
Everyone at the party enjoyed him! He added so much fun to the evening.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Awe, thank you Meggie, it was really fun for me to be a conversation starter in your family reunion.
Great job and very personable!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks Donna, speaking of personable, your entire staff was incredibly personable! I’ve drawn at many retirement centers and yours is the best!
Dale was awesome. Great memories for the residents and it was so much fun.
Dale was so friendly to work with. His artwork is so fun and he has a great way of interacting with the people sitting for a caricature. Definitely recommend!

Dale is a very talented artist who helped make the wedding even more special. Well done!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you so much, I enjoyed drawing everyone. It was a lively group!
Easy to work with, laid back, very communicative. Guests loved the experience.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
It was a pleasure drawing at your wedding! Some real characters showed up to be drawn. I think everyone liked their drawing.😊
He did a great job!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you Andrea! It was my pleasure! Both staff and guests at the grand opening seemed to enjoy the party favor.
We recently hired Dale for an 8th Grade Dance & he completely knocked it out of the park! Not only is he a VERY talented artist, he really seemed to connect with the kids. He drew amazing, accurate, pictures and moved the guests through very quickly. The kids loved him! Thanks Dale for making their special night memorable!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks for your kind words Britany, I really enjoyed drawing for y’all. Those were the most well adjusted and happiest teens I’ve run into. The school community must be very special!
My customers loved the caricatures and I already framed mine!
Dale was super great! The guests loved him so much that I had originally booked him for 2 hours and he ended up drawing for 4 hours (which I appreciated him being so flexible with his time). I would highly recommend Dale and will use him again.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you so much Alica! I enjoyed drawing your crew, they were so relaxed and happy!
Dale was wonderful... personable, prompt, and talented! He did a great job at our event, and everyone really enjoyed chatting with him as he did his work! I highly recommend him if you are considering having a great artist at your event!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you so much for having me, it's always a pleasure to warmly received and indroduced in gracious style. I think the party was a great success.
We hired Artistic Caricatures for our daughter's wedding reception. Our guests absolutely LOVED it! Dale was awesome. His drawings were fun and quirky and he was so professional and kind. He was also very patient with my Mother of the Bride "Crazy". We love that our guests have a unique memento to remember this special occasion! Thank you so much, Dale!!!!!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you Darla!
That was such a relaxed and happy group you had, I enjoyed drawing them!
Everyone enjoyed the caricatures! Nothing but good things to say!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks so much for inviting me! I had a great time drawing! It was a very upbeat crowd!
Dale did great pics of everyone, single, doubles and in groups; they turned out very well and everyone was pleased with his work. Nice Guy! Definitely use him again!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Gee! Thanks Christine! I really did enjoy meeting your guests, and yes, they all seemed to enjoy their drawings. Next time maybe we can slip in the company logo, you know, make a stamp or preprint the paper. I do this at trade shows sometimes, drawing smalerl one-minute likenesses.
We had Dale at our Elementary school Carnival and we were amazed at his drawings, personality and easy to work with! Being the carnival chair I am still hearing feedback on what an awesome event it was, but Dale really added to that!!! We had never had a Caricaturist artist in all the years, and so it was a breath of fresh air for what he did for not just individual kids but FAMILIES portraits too! Total WIN WIN for all, and we can't wait to have him again next year and other events we have! I highly recommend him & his wonderful talents! He captured my boy perfect!
We invited Dale to our daughter Bat Mitzva, he showed up on time, and had a line of people waiting for him, all the kids loved him, and after showing his works to their parents, he had the parents wanting also!! The drawings were so funny.
Dale, thank you very much for a attending our event.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you for inviting me! It was fun getting to know your gifts!
He was a great friendly artist who was able to maintain a smile all night! He completed numerous artworks with the same level of quality throughout. He was loved by all the guests.
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks Victoria, it was easy to smile all night with your guests as they were a delight to draw. And because I feel that I must have the most fun job ever!
They were really a fun loving, happy and relaxed group to be sure!
My wedding guests really enjoyed having their caricatures drawn! Dale was awesome in every way. Thank you so much for making my reception so memorable!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thank you Meagan, for a lovely buffet dinner and the excuse to drive in the country to get there. It was nice to meet the whole crew. Its fun for me to get to know a whole group of supportive folks on a joyous occasion and to give them something to chuckle about, hopefully for years to come.
We hired Dale with Artistic Caricatures for our wedding in March of 2016 and were so glad that we did! We wanted something different and fun for our guest to do during our wedding and loved the idea of using an artist to do caricatures! All our guests loved this unique touch and had a good laugh after their pictures were drawn! Dale was very professional and able to handle our 100+ guests! Also, being that we were on a budget, he was very reasonably priced! If you are wanting to have something other than a typical photo booth at your wedding or event, you should for sure hire Dale! Our guests are still talking about their drawings!
Response from Artistic Caricatures:
Thanks so much Korri, for this glowing review! I enjoyed meeting all of your friends and am glad I'm able to add something to their memories of that special evening.
Sincerely,
Dale Whistler
Artistic Caracatures came through for our event at the last minute, we were thrilled to find that Dale was available, and impressed to learn he is a local artist with several public works of art displayed throughout our wonderful city. He mingled with our guests and created fun caricatures in relaxed settings visiting and capturing something within each drawing that went beyond the fun and silly image of each person. Thanks Dale for your part in our successful event!
