Hi I am a caricature artist from Orange County. I have been drawing caricatures for over 20 years. Being a theme park artist for 5 years at Knotts's Berry Farm was one of my great experiences as an artist. I have done many freelance events as well. Weddings, Graduations, Birthday Parties, Anniversaries, Corporate Events, College Events and High School Dances are events that I have had the privilege and pleasure to work at as a Caricaturist. My rate for all parties/ events is $100 an hour + $50 for travel (if outside Orange County). I do both black and white caricatures as well as colored. I do illustrative Gift caricatures and Pet caricatures as well. Thank you. Take care.
Great person and caricaturist, he was a little slower than our needs.
Response from Brandon's Caricatures:
Hi Stacy,
Thank you so much for the review. I feel bad that I didn’t meet your expectations with speed. No caricature artist wants to take long on a drawing, but I did do exactly what you said and that was to draw Superhero Bodies on the caricatures. That takes extra time. I even said to you that bodies (especially Superhero bodies ) take extra time. I know your employees at your beautiful hotel were so very happy with their Superhero Caricatures. I even stayed later (not that I had to) but because I wanted to because your employees were so happy with their drawings. Their reactions made me as an artist feel so Happy. I sincerely tried my very best.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
Brandon 🙂👨🎨
Brandon was very communicative and arrived early to set up. His art is amazing and he really listens to the customer. He was as abstract as requested or toned it down when the customer requested. We hired Brandon for my daughter's sweet 16 and two of the guests loved him so much that they hired him for their Baby Shower. Brandon showed the same professionalism for the second hire.

Everybody loved getting their caricatures drawn by Brandon. It was a great activity for people of all ages, and a wonderful souvenir for guests to take home from the event. Brandon is incredibly talented and created the most beautiful drawings of the guests. I would highly recommend hiring Brandon for any party and you will be so glad that you did! He will make your event unforgettable.

Hi Lara,
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure drawing caricatures for everyone and meeting you. It is always fun for me to see kids react to their caricatures when I draw them as their favorite superhero or other character. Thank you Lara and thank you to the Kordyak Elementary School staff.
Sincerely,
Brandon👨🎨👨🎨👨🎨
I hired Brandon for my daughter's 7th birthday party. He did an amazing job! He was punctual, professional and flexible. His caricatures were the hit of the birthday party!! The party went late and extra kids showed up, but he was perfectly happy continuing to work and even completed them all in color. I would highly recommend him for your event.
Response from Brandon's Caricatures:
Thank you again Kelly for the review and verifying it through Gig Salad. Again it was a pleasure meeting you and everyone. I had a great time drawing at your daughter's 7th birthday. Take care. : )

As a professional artist, I bring all of my own equipment including plastic protectors for the drawings. I am punctual and will call my client if there should be any problem before the event date. 2 -3 chairs will need to be provided and good lighting as well. If windy or cold, best to draw indoors or in some type of shelter. This is not mandatory but does absolutely help. Thank You.
Brandon is a caricature artist from California. He became interested in caricature from an early age. He was fortunate to be taught caricature by a terrific caricaturist down in San Diego. Also he was grateful to meet another amazing caricature who gave Brandon contact information to call Kamans Art Shoppes in California. Being a caricature artist for Kaman’s Art Shoppes and working on the grounds of Knotts Berry Farm gave Brandon great experience as a caricature artist. He has done caricatures for over 20 years. He is on several social media platforms and has done many events. Weddings, Graduations, The Grammys Party, Holiday Company Parties etc etc. He hopes to have the opportunity to draw at your next event!
