Overview
I am new to GigSalad, but for more than a decade I have drawn quality and fun live caricatures for theme parks, companies, and celebrations of all sorts. Cartoons that capture more than features, but personality as well. Lots of laughs are had and my watercolor caricatures are a favorite at events. Be a part of the process and have some Cartoony Portraits drawn at your event.

Incredible service by Rory! He was super patient with our toddler while drawing us. We will definitely look for him again next year!

We hired Rory to do caricatures during a birthday party and he was phenomenal! Not only was he highly entertaining to both the adults and kids, he was very quick with his sketches and captured moments we weren’t even expecting. I very highly recommend him!

Everyone's favorite hit of the party! Super original artwork and just an awesome guy all around.
Easy set up and got right to it and did a ton of work for the guests. Personality goes right along with the fun service and had no issues across the board. Great booking and will 100% do again for our next event!

I'm so happy I found Rory. He made our Ugly Christmas Sweater party a lot more jolly. All our guest had a blast and lots of laughs. A million thanks.

Rory was wonderful! He captured every guest in a fun and memorable caricature. Guests primarily included high schoolers that just graduated. Rory’s caricatures helped memorialize this moment in their lives. Look forward to having him back for another event in the future.
We hired Rory to draw caricatures for our wedding and it was an absolute hit! Our guests loved his work and they made great keepsakes from the event. Rory was a great communicator and was a joy to work with on what can typically be a stressful day for a couple. We highly recommend him for your event.

Thank you for having me, Megan. The event was super fun to be a part of. I am glad everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves.
Had a 1960' Rat Pack Cocktail themed 25th Anniversary Party. Rory' drawings were way better then any Photo booth could have been. He worked very fast, stayed till everyone got theirs done and was very kind to everyone. Really captured my Guests and my Guests loved him.
Will definitely hire him again.

Rory did an outstanding job at our corporate event! Our attendees loved his art, and we even had him stay an extra half an hour past his scheduled time because he was in such demand. Definitely book Rory for your next event!

Had Rory draw my guests for my son’s first birthday! Everyone kept saying how talented he was and enjoyed all the pictures! Highly recommend!!
Rory is amazing! Very professional and personable when he reached out to me on Gig Salad in response to my event. We spoke on the phone and he was sincere about wanting to provide a great experience for our guests. He showed up right on time the day of the party and set up his station. Our guests raved about how great he was to talk to and how amazing his portraits were. We had airbrushed caricatures which was very entertaining to see created. Rory was very kind, funny and professional. He made it a very memorable experience for us and our guests and I hope to work with him again in the future. I highly recommend him for any event, as his primary focus was making sure it was fun for everyone! Thanks so much, Rory!

Rory is a super talented artist. You usually don’t see watercolor caricatures. I highly recommend this service. It’s classic, fun, and quick. Everybody who wanted a caricature was able to get one at my cousin’s birthday.
